Genomic analysis of white blood cells from burn and trauma patients revealed excessive and prolonged innate immune activation in patients with complicated outcomes. However, translating this knowledge into practical biomarkers has not been possible yet. Although several biomarkers for monitoring burn patients have been proposed, their ability to accurately distinguish between inflammation stemming from initial tissue destruction, infections, and organ failure complications is limited. Here, we focused on monocytes, critical innate immune cells in the response to burn injured tissues. We measured the monocyte anisocytosis (quantified as monocyte distribution width (MDW), a recently emerged marker of sepsis) throughout the recovery of patients from the time of burn injury until the end of the hospital stay. We observed that MDW increases in patients during the first week after major burns. Among the patients with major burns who survive, MDW starts decreasing in the second week and normalizes by the end of the hospital stay. The duration of hospital stay appears to be proportional to how fast MDW decreases during the second week after the injury. We also found that MDW decreases significantly in most patients after excision and debridement surgeries but not after allo- and auto-graft surgeries. Moreover, high MDW values correlated with a higher rate of positive microbiology blood culture samples and respiratory infections. These findings underscore the importance of monitoring MDW as a potential biomarker for the risk of complications during burn patient recovery.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":" ","pages":"138-144"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11761730/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141086166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite early treatment, hypertrophic scarring frequently hampers hand function recovery, and the thick raised scar blocks electromyography (EMG) sensing. A promising solution involves motion-mimicking robotic finger prostheses tailored to individual patient requirements. By using the versatility of motion-capturing technology on a sound finger, a robotic finger prosthesis can mimic the movement of a sound finger simultaneously with less latency than EMG-based sensory mechanisms through hypertrophic scars. This case study evaluated the clinical efficacy of a customized three-dimensional printed robotic finger prosthesis in a 24-year-old man who sustained left second finger loss due to electrical burns. Despite undergoing reconstructive surgery, the patient struggled with manual dexterity. Following the adoption of a personalized robotic finger prosthesis with a finger motion-capturing device, significant improvements in grip strength and daily task performance were observed. This innovative approach has advantages such as customization, reduced latency time for finger movements, and affordability from low-cost manufacturing, suggesting its potential for broader adoption among burn-induced amputees.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":" ","pages":"230-235"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142501089","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There is often compromise, either prioritizing the urgency of excision or opting for patient stability and optimal conditions prior to autografting. We propose a surgical concept that addresses this critical treatment gap. In 2022, we implemented a new three-phase protocol, EDM: (Excision phase, E) Immediate excision of the burn wound preserving body contour; (Dermis phase, D) definitive temporization of the wound bed, using biodegradable temporizing matrix, to prepare it for successful grafting. Upon complete dermal temporization, full autologous coverage in a single micrografting procedure is achieved (Meek phase, M). We performed a retrospective single-center cohort study to characterize the EDM protocol compared to the prior standard of care (>40% TBSA, n = 5 in EDM vs n = 10 matched controls). Primary outcomes were total surgeries required, total surgeries to achieve>90% healing, uninterrupted recovery time without surgery, and time on mechanical ventilation. The EDM group required fewer surgeries in total (5 vs 9.5; P = .01) and to achieve>90% healing (3 vs 6.5; P = .001). EDM patients experienced longer uninterrupted recovery (25 vs 13 days, P = .001). Additionally, EDM patients spent less time on mechanical ventilation (210 vs 1136 h, P = .005). The EDM protocol could improve surgical efficiency, ultimately having the potential to expedite rehabilitation for severely burned patients. The study underscores the potential of combining the fundamentals of burn surgery, with innovative surgical techniques and materials, in order to bridge the gap between excision and grafting.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":" ","pages":"218-223"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141261928","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We and others have shown that burn injury triggers a cascade of inflammatory mediators which increase gut permeability and dysbiosis of the fecal microbiota and this is more dramatic in the aged. Since crosstalk between intestinal microbes and the lung, termed the \"gut-lung axis,\" impacts immunity and homeostasis in the airway, we hypothesized that the increased intestinal dysbiosis in age and burn injury may contribute to excessive pulmonary inflammation and poor prognosis after injury. To explore this hypothesis, we used a clinically relevant murine model of burn injury in which young and aged mice are subjected to a 12% TBSA dorsal scald burn or sham injury. About 24 h after injury, lung function was assessed and lungs and feces were collected for analysis of inflammatory mediators and fecal microbial species. The results show that, when compared to younger mice, burn injury in aged mice triggers a decline in respiratory function and exacerbates pulmonary inflammation. In addition to heightened levels of the neutrophil recruiting chemokine CXCL1, aged mice displayed a profound increase in the pro-inflammatory protein, calprotectin, in the lung after burn injury. Comparison of the fecal microbiome and inflammatory markers in the lung revealed unique, age-dependent, correlation patterns between individual taxa and pulmonary inflammation. Taken together, these findings suggest that the postburn dysbiosis of the gut flora in aged mice may contribute to the changes in pulmonary inflammatory profiles.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":" ","pages":"53-60"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141261942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Despite their high incidence, a standardized algorithm for treating small burns does not currently exist, and care is often guided by clinical judgement and resource availability. The aim of this study was to explore the utility of a two-stage grafting technique, involving allograft and autograft, for treating small burns (≤10% total body surface area) in pediatric patients. A retrospective review of patients aged 0-18 years who had a small burn and underwent a two-stage grafting procedure between September 1, 2018 and September 1, 2022 was conducted. One hundred and seventy-five patients with 220 wounds met the inclusion criteria for this study. The mean time from presentation to allograft surgery was 11.4 days (SD 5.2) followed by autograft surgery approximately one week later. Most patients were discharged within 24 hours following allograft surgery (87.4%) and autograft surgery (81.1%). Mean autograft take was 97.7% (SD 11.8) with only four patients experiencing significant graft loss requiring subsequent re-grafting. These positive outcomes demonstrate that the two-stage technique can be successfully utilized for treating smaller pediatric burns. Moreover, these findings help to address the significant knowledge gap regarding the optimal approach to treating small burn wounds. Further research is warranted to learn more about aesthetic outcomes following two-stage grafting and determine how it compares to other techniques for treating small burns.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":" ","pages":"22-27"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142347368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Demographic data, clinical characteristics, treatment, and prognosis were statistically analyzed. Of the 126 included patients, 104 were followed up for 0.1-10.2 years. The most common cause of the primary injury was flame burn (50.8%). Lesions were commonly observed on the lower limbs (47.6%). The predominant histopathological type was squamous cell carcinoma (92.8%). Among the 126 patients, 35 (27.8%) presented with bone invasion, 37 (29.4%) presented with enlarged lymph nodes, and 9 (7.1%) had lymph node metastasis. Extensive local excision (83.3%) was the most common surgical procedure; the defect was repaired using skin grafting (41.9%), free flaps (37.1%), and local flaps (21.0%). Multivariate analysis revealed that bone invasion and lymph node involvement were risk factors for postoperative recurrence. Survival analysis showed that age, latency period, pathological type, and recurrence were significant risk factors for survival. Extensive local resection is necessary to eradicate tumors, and patient follow-up should be more frequent within 1 year postoperatively. As MU is preventable, it is essential to reach a quick diagnosis and avoid delayed management before the occurrence of deadly metastases.","PeriodicalId":15205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Burn Care & Research","volume":" ","pages":"208-217"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-01-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141590424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Patient and physician reported scar outcomes after treatment and adverse effects were recorded. A total of 21 articles were included in the final review. Five studies found statistically significant improvements in overall scores and individual Vancouver Scar Scale components in the OE treatment group compared to the silicone groups. Several studies found that combined treatment of OE with other topical treatment modalities such as triamcinolone or silicone gel produced significant improvements in scar symptoms. In this review, reported adverse effects were minimal, often consisting of self-resolving pruritus, irritation, and erythema. This review supports OE's potential utility in scar prevention and treatment. Most studies reported minimal adverse events with OE application and significant benefits in specific scar characteristics.
