Wireless Micro Current Stimulation (WMCS) therapy to enhance burn wound healing: A randomized clinical trial.

Background: Pediatric burn injuries are often associated with significant morbidity, and require specialized care. The primary advantage of Wireless Micro Current Stimulation (WMCS) is the ability to deliver electric current without direct contact with the wound, which is particularly advantageous in the pediatric population and in those with wounds over multiple areas or over sensitive regions.

Methods: A prospective, randomized trial was performed.

Craniofacial Measurements: A History of Scientific Racism, Rethinking Anthropometric Norms.

Craniofacial measurements have been used in attempt to create racial categories. This article discusses the history of this practice and the potential implications this has for patients.

Biobrane dressing for paediatric burns in Singapore: a retrospective review.

Introduction: The ideal burn dressing for children should aim to alleviate pain, decrease length of hospital stay and minimise complications such as conversion and infection. The current literature is still inconclusive with regard to the gold standard burn dressing for the paediatric population.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed children with superficial partial thickness burns admitted to our paediatric burns unit from January 2014 to April 2015.

Discordant Type I Preaxial Polydactyly in Monozygotic Twins on the Same Hand: A Case Report.

There are 4 types of preaxial polydactyly (PPD), and type I (PPD-I), also known as thumb duplication, is the most common. This frequently encountered condition has since been further described and classified by Wassel based on the level of duplication of skeletal anatomy. Genetic studies have localized possible candidate gene(s) for PPD types II to IV to the chromosomal region 7q36 but the current literature attributes PPD-I to isolated, spontaneous mutations typically with unilateral involvement only.
