TL;DR: 5-FU+TAC is safe, easy to administer and effective treatment for problematic scars and has the lower rate of recurrence on larger follow up.

TL;DR: The performance of UOP and creatinine for predicting AKI could be enhanced by with a ML algorithm using a k-NN approach when NGAL is not available, and the theoretical performance of ML in augmenting AKI recognition was determined.

TL;DR: In combination with widely meshed STSG, RECELL is a safe and effective point-of-care treatment for mixed-depth burns without confluent dermis, achieving short- and long-term healing comparable to standard ST SG, while significantly decreasing donor skin use.

TL;DR: A triple-polymer scaffold made of collagen-elastin-polycaprolactone (CEP) composite aimed to enhance the mechanical properties of the scaffold while retaining its biological properties in promoting cell attachment, proliferation and tissue regeneration after severe burn injury is developed.

TL;DR: It appears that LDI is currently the most favorable technique; thereby assessing burn wound healing potential and future studies should focus on reliability and measurement error, and provide a precise description of which construct is aimed to measure.

TL;DR: In this study, the concentration of IL-10 had prognostic value in patients with burn injury both measured at admission and at 24-48h after injury, and simple demographic data such as age, % burned TBSA, inhalation injury and their combination, the Baux score and modified Bau score, outperform most of the cytokines, with the exception of IL -8 and MCP-1 levels on admission, in predicting death.

TL;DR: It is concluded that new dressings with and without silver show better results than SSD for wound healing, and burns treated with dressings without silver are less likely to become infected than burns with SSD.

TL;DR: Application of PA gels accelerates the recovery of deep partial-thickness burn wounds by stimulation of fibroblasts and the creation of an environment conducive to epithelial cell proliferation and wound closure.

TL;DR: Key findings included the over-representation of young males, intentional self-harm injuries and flame as a cause of burns and highlights high risk groups to help aid in the development of targeted prevention strategies.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that beeswax-olive oil-butter mixture impregnated bandage treatment in a second-degree burn rat model improved burn wound healing and encouraged skin renewal via modulating tissue TGF-β1 and VEGF-α.

TL;DR: Objective scar measures have been demonstrated to have good to excellent reliability and physical symptoms of scars such as pain and itch were found to be more important to patients compared to surface, area and colour.

TL;DR: This work evaluated the combined potential of two non-invasive optical modalities, optical coherence tomography (OCT) and Raman spectroscopy (RS), to identify degrees of burn wounds and reported an overall average accuracy of 85% and ROC-AUC=0.94, in distinguishing the burn wounds.

TL;DR: Oleogel-S10 (Episalvan) significantly accelerated the healing of superficial partial thickness burn wounds and was safe and well tolerated.

TL;DR: Testing the ability of these imaging techniques to assess the severity of histologically confirmed graded burns in a swine model indicates that these imaging modalities, and specifically SFDI, can be added to the burn clinicians' toolbox to aid in early assessment of burn severity.

TL;DR: Since the pH of a (burn) wound can have a significant influence on wound healing, a pH indicator was successfully linked to an advanced, temporary, alloplastic wound dressing material and was able to show the possibility of pH monitoring by the dressing itself.

TL;DR: The results summarized in this review indicate the importance of a high-quality surveillance program to design suitable and effective interventions to control CRAB infection in burn units worldwide.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the prevalence and development of after burn joint limitation by scar contracture and show that the upper part of the body was more prone to contracture formation than the lower part.

TL;DR: In conclusion, leap motion training could help patients with hand burns to increase finger ROM, decrease scar thickness, and improve hand function.

TL;DR: The frequency and severity of burn injuries are highlighted, vulnerable population groups are identified and common causes of burns in this large developing country of 160 million people are listed.

TL;DR: Benefits are seen in a reduction in wound depth, faster healing, and decreased grafting requirements, and calls for promotion of 20min of running water globally in burns care.

TL;DR: Individuals experiencing appearance anxiety associated with a burn injury may struggle with accepting difficult emotions, stepping back from distressing thoughts, being mindful and engaging in valued action.

TL;DR: EC-associated burn injury results in combined thermal and chemical burns, which should be managed in tandem, and a treatment algorithm is suggested to provide guidance for the burn injuries associated with ECs.

TL;DR: Burns can have a negative impact on an individual's HRQL, particularly in more severely burned patients, that persists for years, and patients with a prolonged hospital stay, females and older patients are at higher risk of poor HRQL in the long-term.

TL;DR: The epidemiology, symptoms, diagnosis and the therapy of this multidisciplinary challenge involving multiple organ systems without a typical clinical presentation is reviewed.

TL;DR: Stem cell therapy appears to exert a positive effect in burn wound healing, and there is justification for continued efforts to evaluate the use of stem cells as an adjunct to first-line therapies in burns.

TL;DR: This review summarizes next-generation technologies for the identification of markers for detection of sepsis after burn injuries, including molecular markers such as genomic DNA variations, alterations of transcriptome profiling, epigenetic markers, and advances in proteomics and metabolomics.

TL;DR: The causes and sociocultural groundwork of choosing self-immolation methods by women in Kurdish regions of Iran are explored and 8 sub-themes related to cause of suicide attempt from the participants' viewpoints are revealed.

TL;DR: This experiment showed that the loading of BNC-based wound dressings with PHMB-containing antiseptics was achieved by a simple and quick procedure and the antiseptic efficacy after 120min loading was shown to be comparable to the clinically used Suprasorb® X+PHMB wound dressing.

TL;DR: The results of the study showed that a large BI, elderly age, delayed admission after injury and combined inhalation injury are the main risk factors for extensively burned patients.

TL;DR: The mixture honey-A.
