TL;DR: It is concluded that the postburn response is profound, occurring in a timely manner, with derangements that are greater and more protracted than previously thought.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of gene and stem cell therapy in cutaneous wound healing
TL;DR: Gene therapy, initially developed for treatment of congenital defects, is a new option for enhancing wound repair, and in order to accelerate wound closure, genes encoding for growth factors or cytokines showed the greatest potential.
Journal ArticleDOI
Burn size determines the inflammatory and hypermetabolic response
Marc G. Jeschke,Marc G. Jeschke,Ronald P. Mlcak,Celeste C. Finnerty,Celeste C. Finnerty,William B. Norbury,Gerd G. Gauglitz,Gerd G. Gauglitz,Gabriela A. Kulp,David N. Herndon,David N. Herndon +10 more
TL;DR: Morbidity and mortality in burned patients is burn size dependent, starts at a 60% TBSA burn and is due to an increased hypermetabolic and inflammatory reaction, along with impaired cardiac function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in pediatric burn patients: does it make a difference?
Marc G. Jeschke,Marc G. Jeschke,Ronald P. Mlcak,Celeste C. Finnerty,William B. Norbury,Rene Przkora,Gabriela A. Kulp,Gerd G. Gauglitz,Xiao-Jun Zhang,Xiao-Jun Zhang,David N. Herndon +10 more
TL;DR: Female burned patients exert an attenuated inflammatory and hypermetabolic response compared with males, which is reflected in improved muscle protein net balance and preservation of lean body mass, which are associated with shortened hospital stay.
Journal ArticleDOI
Abnormal Insulin Sensitivity Persists up to Three Years in Pediatric Patients Post-Burn
Gerd G. Gauglitz,David N. Herndon,David N. Herndon,Gabriela A. Kulp,Walter J. Meyer,Marc G. Jeschke,Marc G. Jeschke +6 more
TL;DR: A severe burn is associated with stress-induced insulin resistance that persists not only during the acute phase but also for up to 3 yr post-burn, indicating peripheral and whole body insulin resistance.
