The National Institute on Disability, Independent Living, and Rehabilitation Research-funded BMS in collaboration with the MSKTC uses a multi-step process for developing and consumer-testing evidence-based/consensus-derived educational information prioritized by consumers. The final written products are made available in both English and Spanish at/below an 8th grade reading level. Products are disseminated through websites, clinical encounters, social media, and national/international engagement with clinicians and burn-related organizations. Written products are reviewed every five years to ensure they remain current and relevant. Number of online views for each product is a key measure of dissemination. Since 2011, the collaboration between the BMS and the MSKTC has produced or updated 22 educational factsheets, three videos, three infocomics, and one infographic. Collectively, these products have been viewed over two million times by people in 216 countries. Online views of all products have generally increased year-to-year. This process makes relevant health information accessible and understandable for consumers. As a result, Burn Model System informational products have been increasingly viewed by US and international consumers.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72486,"journal":{"name":"Burns open : an international open access journal for burn injuries","volume":"8 3","pages":"Pages 183-187"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468912224000282/pdfft?md5=bd9b0cabcdec05cb372433a270eac40e&pid=1-s2.0-S2468912224000282-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140951264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The patient underwent late 2020 a delayed bilateral autologous breast reconstruction with a bilateral DIEP flap, followed shortly after by a latissimus dorsi flap reconstruction of her left breast caused by flap necrosis of the left-sided DIEP flap and a secondary nipple reconstruction with afterward a small cosmetic correction. Shortly after she travelled for a holiday in November 2023 to Egypt. After less than 2 h sunbathing in the afternoon in her black bra, she recognized later in the evening redness and blistering of the skin of her right breast. After return and presentation to our outpatient department, we stated a 2b-3 degree burn of her right lateral breast. Under conservative treatment no progress was seen, thus we scheduled the patient for a direct resection and primary closure of the burned skin, which further healed uneventfully. This case presentation shows again the potential risk of solar burns in breast-reconstructed patients with reduced skin sensitivity even after years. Therefore patients undergoing breast reconstruction should be informed about this issue and medical professionals should be aware of this potential harm in these population groups.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72486,"journal":{"name":"Burns open : an international open access journal for burn injuries","volume":"8 2","pages":"Pages 157-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2468912224000233/pdfft?md5=66e44e6832b1a0418ca01488ab7d6dfd&pid=1-s2.0-S2468912224000233-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140350173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
