Journal ArticleDOI
Progress in burn treatment and the use of artificial skin
Ronald G. Tompkins,John F. Burke +1 more
TL;DR: Artificial skin is a very important additional treatment modality that has more recently become available and promises to contribute significantly to improvements in wound management and survival rates by its ability to physiologically close a burn wound immediately after its excision.
Journal ArticleDOI
Metabolic alterations in muscle of thermally injured rabbits, measured by positron emission tomography.
Edward A. Carter,Ronald G. Tompkins,Homgbing Hsu,Bradley T. Christian,Nathaniel M. Alpert,Steven B. Weise,Alan J. Fischman +6 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that thermal injury is associated with alterations in muscle metabolism, which are not related to change in blood flow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inhalation Injury in Children: A 10 Year Experience at Shriners Hospitals for Children
Tina L Palmieri,Petra Warner,Petra Warner,Ronald P. Mlcak,Ronald P. Mlcak,Robert L. Sheridan,Robert L. Sheridan,Richard J. Kagan,Richard J. Kagan,David N. Herndon,David N. Herndon,Ronald G. Tompkins,Ronald G. Tompkins,David G. Greenhalgh,David G. Greenhalgh +14 more
TL;DR: Analyzing the incidence, demographic characteristics, and outcomes for children who have sustained burn injury at one of four regional pediatric burn centers from 1997 to 2007 found that diagnosis of inhalation injury does not follow consistent guidelines.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proline-mediated enhancement of hepatocyte function in a collagen gel sandwich culture configuration.
TL;DR: Data support the hypothesis that continued collagen synthesis by hepatocytes is critical for hepatocyte function in the sandwich gel configuration and the continued presence of l‐proline in the culture media.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dynamics of photoinduced cell plasma membrane injury.
TL;DR: Microscopic examination of the lytic event indicated that photo-induced lysis was caused by a point rupture of the plasma membrane, and the time lag before cell rupture was inversely proportional to the estimated singlet oxygen flux to the cell surface.
