This study explores the psychosocial benefits of a community-based exercise program for children recovering from burn injuries, addressing concerns such as anxiety, reduced physical activity, and social challenges. A pre-test-post-test design assessed the effects of an 8-week community-based trampoline exercise intervention on psychosocial outcomes in children and their caregivers. No significant or clinically meaningful physical improvements were observed across measures such as MET score, grip strength, BMI percentile, or heart-rate recovery despite a significant improvement in trampolining performance (p < 0.0001). Psychosocial outcomes showed improved child emotional function (PedsQL, p = 0.024) as reported by parents, though children's self-reported emotional function and Child PTSD Symptom Scale (CPSS) scores remained unchanged. Parent-reported strengths and difficulty scores for the child remained stable over time but were higher than population norms for hyperactivity and emotional difficulty. Parental post-traumatic stress symptoms decreased significantly over time (p = 0.050), with reductions in avoidance (p = 0.009), hypervigilance (p = 0.007), and intrusion scores (p = 0.026). Children significantly improved their trampolining performance, while parents reported enhanced emotional function for their child. However, children's self-reports did not reflect these emotional improvements.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843872/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143470064","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}

In addition, SIB accounted for 1.98% of the total admissions in a Burns Unit between 1983 and 1991, a lower percentage than other European studies. The present study aims to replicate this work, updating this profile and comparing it with the current profile.Methods: We compared the clinical and socio-demographic characteristics of 67 patients admitted during 1983-1991 (Study I) with those of 36 patients admitted during 2010-2015 (Study II).Results: It was observed that the percentage of patients with SIB admitted to the Burns Unit was lower in Study II than in Study I (1.45% vs. 1.98%). Significant age differences were identified (t(101) = -2.074, p = 0.041, 95% CI [-11.739, -0.261]). Similarly, there were statistically significant differences in several clinical characteristics, such as psychiatric history (X2 = 11.591, p = 0.001), the occurrence of previous autolytic attempts (X2 = 7.714, p = 0.007), the place where the incident occurred (X2 = 11.647, p = 0.020), the etiology of the burn (X2 = 13.142, p = 0.004), and triggers (X2 = 6.420, p = 0.036).Conclusions: Several differences have arisen between the two studies, mainly related to the specific characteristics of SIB (e.g., etiology, triggering cause, and place of the incident), possibly attributable to the social changes that have occurred in the last 20 years. These results will add to our knowledge and will stress various precipitating factors that may lead to SIB, with the final goal of designing preventive strategies.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843819/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143470085","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}

With these methods, the fundamental problem of the wound dynamics (wound conversion or progression) in the first 4 days should be parametrically analyzed and evaluated. Material and Methods: From a cohort of 59 patients with burn injuries requiring medical intervention, 281 homogenous wound segments were selected and subjected to clinical classification based on the duration of healing. The classification was retrospectively assigned to each segment during the period from day 0 to day 2 post-burn. The perfusion parameters were presented in two parameter spaces describing the upper and deeper perfusion. Results: The investigation of value distributions within the parameter spaces pertaining to four distinct categories of damage from superficial dermal to full-thickness burns during the initial four days reveals the inherent variability and distinct patterns associated with wound progression, depending on the severity of damage. The analysis highlights the challenges associated with estimating the burn degrees during this early stage and elucidates the significance of deeper tissue perfusion in the classification process, which cannot be discerned through visual inspections. Conclusions: The feasibility of early classification on day 0 or 1 was assessed, and the findings indicate a restricted level of reliability, particularly on day 0, primarily due to the substantial variability observed in wound characteristics and inherent dynamics.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843825/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143470067","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}

This narrative review explores various tools for early infection detection, including emerging biomarkers, the American Burn Association's clinical criteria, and traditional blood parameters. A comparative study of the American Burn Association, Mann-Salinas, and Sepsis-3 criteria highlights the superior early detection capabilities of the Sepsis-3 criteria. However, the authors recommend that sepsis should be prospectively evaluated, identified, and classified by the intensive care group, rather than by relying solely on retrospective items, though the latter may still be necessary in certain cases. Advances in biomarker identification, including polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and gene expression (mRNA) profiling, offer diagnostic advantages over current methods, enabling early detection within 4 to 6 h of intensive care unit admission. Mass spectrometry also shows promise for the rapid determination of bacteria, yeast, and fungi based on bacteria protein profiles. Source control remains crucial, and the use of antibacterial topical agents has significantly improved the survival rates of severely burned patients. However, antibiotic selection must be made judiciously to avoid resistance. Despite these advancements, significant progress is still needed to improve the rapid identification, actual presence, prevention, and therapy of infections to reduce the incidence of sepsis and septic shock in this patient subgroup.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843831/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143470071","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}

This study assessed HRQL 5-7 years post-burn in children with mild/intermediate and severe burns and identified associated factors. Parents of children (5- < 18 years) who were hospitalized or had burn surgery between 08/2011 and 09/2012 completed the Burn Outcomes Questionnaire (BOQ). Outcomes were compared between two subgroups: children with mild/intermediate burns (<10% total body surface area (TBSA) burned) versus severe burns ((1) aged <10 years old at the time of injury with >10% (TBSA) burned; (2) aged ≥10 years with >20% TBSA burned; or (3) >5% full-thickness burns). A total of 102 children were included (mean age at survey: 8.4 (3.0) years; mean former TBSA: 7.1%). At a mean of 5.7 years post-burn, many parents rated their child's health as excellent (46.1%) or very good (35.3%), with few reporting issues with 'pain' (2.3%), 'physical function and sports' (1.6%), and 'upper extremity function' (0.9%). Parents of children with severe burns indicated significantly more problems with 'appearance' (89.2% versus 71.5%; p = 0.014) and 'parental concern' (94.1% versus 84.8%; p = 0.021). Upper limb burns, facial burns, burn size, length of hospital stay, full-thickness burns, and the number of surgeries predicted poorer outcomes. In general, these findings indicate positive long-term HRQL, though especially children with full-thickness burns and/or surgical interventions face a higher risk of reduced HRQL. The results can be used to inform children and their families about the long-term implications. Furthermore, healthcare professionals can use these insights to identify children at higher risk of poorer long-term HRQL.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843909/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143470080","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}

This study aimed to assess the validity of adult patient end-of-workout rating of session perceived exertion (sRPE); and calculated training load (TL) (sRPE × session duration) as measures of exercise intensity. Secondly, the study aimed to compare clinician and patient perception of exercise effort during physiotherapist-led sessions. Repeated RPE data were collected every 5-min during two resistance exercise sessions completed by 25 burns patients. Physiological (heart rate [HR], blood lactate [BLa]) and perceptual measures (sRPE, ratings of pain, fatigue, delayed onset muscle soreness, sleep quality and stress) were also captured. Adjusted, multivariable linear regression models were used to determine the associations between sRPE and TL and significant predictor variables. Paired t-tests were performed to compare clinician and participant sRPE. Results: Average RPE calculated from 5-min repeats, after adjustment for age and %TBSA, was significantly associated with sRPE, F(1, 45) = 100.82, (p < 0.001, adjusted R2 = 0.64) and TL, F(1, 45) = 33.66, (p < 0.001, adjusted R2 = 0.39). No significant differences between patient and clinician sRPE were apparent (p = 0.948). Thus, one-off reporting of sRPE and calculated TL may be appropriate markers to monitor exercise intensity and aid prescription in individuals with burn injuries, regardless of patient and burn characteristics or time since burn. There was also no difference between patient and clinician's perceptions of exercise effort.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843880/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143470087","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}

Traditional antimicrobial dressings, such as those containing silver or iodine, have limitations, including cytotoxicity and the potential for antimicrobial resistance. Dialkylcarbamoyl chloride (DACC)-impregnated dressings offer a novel approach, employing a physical mechanism to bind and remove bacteria without the use of chemical agents, thereby reducing the risk of resistance. This review summarizes current evidence on the efficacy of DACC dressings in preventing SSIs and promoting wound healing. Findings from multiple studies indicate that DACC dressings reduce bacterial burden and SSI rates across various surgical procedures, including cesarean sections and vascular surgeries. Additionally, DACC dressings demonstrate potential in managing hard-to-heal wounds, such as diabetic foot ulcers, by reducing bacterial load and biofilm formation. Furthermore, they present advantages in antimicrobial stewardship and cost-effectiveness by minimizing the need for antibiotics and decreasing overall healthcare expenses. However, the current literature is limited by small sample sizes, methodological weaknesses, heterogeneity in study designs, and a lack of long-term data. Future research should focus on high-quality randomized controlled trials across diverse surgical populations, comprehensive cost-effectiveness analyses, and long-term outcomes to establish the full clinical impact of DACC dressings. With further validation, DACC-impregnated dressings could become a critical tool in sustainable postoperative wound care.","PeriodicalId":72961,"journal":{"name":"European burn journal","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11843900/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143470074","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}
