Persistence of muscle catabolism after severe burn
David W. Hart,Steven E. Wolf,Ronald P. Mlcak,David L. Chinkes,Peter I. Ramzy,Michael K. Obeng,Arny A. Ferrando,Robert R. Wolfe,David N. Herndon +8 more
TL;DR: In severely burned children, hypermetabolism and catabolism remain exaggerated for at least 9 months after injury, suggesting that therapeutic attempts to manipulate the catabolic and hypermetabolic response to severe injury should be continued long after injury.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anabolic effects of oxandrolone after severe burn.
David W. Hart,Steven E. Wolf,Peter I. Ramzy,David L. Chinkes,Robert B. Beauford,Arny A. Ferrando,Robert R. Wolfe,David N. Herndon +7 more
TL;DR: In burn victims, oxandrolone improves muscle protein metabolism through enhanced protein synthesis efficiency, suggesting the efficacy of ox androlone in impeding muscle protein catabolism in cachectic, critically injured children.
Journal ArticleDOI
Muscle Protein Catabolism After Severe Burn: Effects of Igf-1/igfbp-3 Treatment
David N. Herndon,Peter I. Ramzy,Meelie A. Debroy,Ming Zheng,Arny A. Ferrando,David L. Chinkes,Juan P. Barret,Robert R. Wolfe,Steven E. Wolf +8 more
TL;DR: IGF-1/IGFBP-3 at doses of 1 to 4 mg/kg/day attenuates catabolism in catabolic burned children with negligible clinical side effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biobrane versus 1% silver sulfadiazine in second-degree pediatric burns
Juan P. Barret,Juan P. Barret,P Dziewulski,Peter I. Ramzy,Steven E. Wolf,Manubhai H. Desai,David N. Herndon +6 more
TL;DR: The treatment of partial‐thickness burns with Biobrane is superior to topical therapy with 1 % silver sulfadiazine and pain, pain medication requirements, wound healing time, and length of hospital stay are significantly reduced.
Journal ArticleDOI
β-blockade and growth hormone after burn
David W. Hart,Steven E. Wolf,David L. Chinkes,Sofia O. Lal,Peter I. Ramzy,David N. Herndon,Basil A. Pruitt,William G. Cioffi +7 more
TL;DR: Propranolol is a strongly anabolic drug during the early, hypercatabolic period after burn, and the net balance of muscle protein synthesis and breakdown was improved during proprandol and GH plus proPRanolol treatment.
