Effect of three different exercise trainings on functional capacity in early stage severe burn patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: This study investigated the effects of three different exercise protocols on functional capacity in early-stage burn patients.

Methods: A total of 25 patients hospitalized in the Burn Center (wards and intensive care unit) were included in the study. The individuals were divided into three groups by covariate adaptive randomization according to burn percentage and type: 1 - standard treatment, 2 - standard treatment + aerobic exercise training, 3 - standard treatment + combined exercise (aerobic and resistance) determined by metabolic status.

Effect of aerobic exercise on neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio, platelet-lymphocyte ratio, and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio in burn patients: A randomized controlled trial.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the effects of aerobic exercises in addition to standard treatment on parameters such as neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and lymphocyte-monocyte ratio (LMR) in patients with burns.

Methods: A total of 31 hospitalized patients included in the study were divided into two groups using covariate adaptive randomization method according to burn percentage and burn type (1st:standard treatment, 2nd: standard treatment + aerobic training). NLR, PLR, and LMR were evaluated for 5 weeks in all groups.

Machine learning models for early prediction of mortality risk in patients with burns: A single center experience.

Mortality rate is considered as the most important outcome measure for assessing the severity of burn injury. A scale or model that accurately predicts burn mortality can be useful to determine the clinical course of burn injuries, discuss treatment options and rehabilitation with patients and their families, and evaluate novel, innovative interventions for the injuries. This study aimed to use machine learning models to predict the mortality risk of patients with burns after their first admission to the center and to compare the performances of these models.

Investigation of glucose, serum insulin levels, and insulin resistance in patients with major burn: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

Background: Many studies have reported that insulin resistance (IR) is present and persistent in patients with major burns; however, the evidence remains insufficient. This study was planned to investigate insulin levels and IR in the early post-traumatic period in patients with major burns and to determine the prevalence of IR after burn injury.

Methods: This study included 68 patients.

A remarkable point for evaluating the severity of burns: Thiol-disulfide profile.

Aim: The objective of this study was to examine the thiol-disulfide profile tests in patients suffering from burn injuries.

Methods: This case-control study comprised 48 patients with thermal burn injuries and 61 healthy individuals. Thiol-disulfide tests were conducted in both groups, and also, the changes of thiol-disulfide parameters were analyzed at zero time and on days 3, 7, 15, and 30 of the admission in patients with burn injuries.

The effects of early physiotherapy on biochemical parameters in major burn patients: A burn center's experience.

Background: This study sets out to investigate the effects of early physiotherapy on biochemical parameters in major burn patients.

Methods: Ten women (50%) and 10 men (50%) aged 21-47 years old were included in this study. Participants were divided into two groups: the first group was the treatment group and the second group was the control group.

Our 18-month experience at a new burn center in Gaziantep, Turkey.

Background: This study is a retrospective analysis of 411 cases admitted to Cengiz Gökcek State Hospital Burn Center from 1 May 2007 to 10 October 2008.

Methods: Through an electronic database of medical records of the burn center, all patients admitted to the center were traced. With respect to the numbers of burns according to sex, 35.

Primary leiomyoma of the thyroid gland.

Primary thyroid leiomyomas are rare, and only four cases have been reported to date. This is a report of an additional case of primary thyroid leiomyoma in a 40-year-old male who was admitted with a painless swelling in the right thyroid lobe and underwent subtotal thyroidectomy. The surgical specimen showed a well-circumscribed, greyish-white solid nodule.
