Comparison of the effectiveness of three different skin substitutes for the treatment of pediatric burns.

Unlabelled: Early debridement of partial-thickness burns and coverage with skin substitutes is currently the standard of care in children, although there is currently no "gold standard" skin substitute. Our aim is to compare the effectiveness of three different skin substitutes, analyzing the medium- and long-term outcomes.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on burn patients under 18 years admitted to our Burn Unit between 2015 and 2021, who were divided into 3 groups according to the type of skin substitute used (EZ-derm®, Biobrane®, and Suprathel®).

Vascular anomalies in childhood. Review and update.

Vascular anomalies are changes in vascularization that usually appear in the foetal stage, at birth or in early childhood. They can cause chronic pain, motor impairment, cosmetic changes or coagulopathy and may be fatal in some cases, but in every case they have a negative impact on the quality of life of the child and the family. Up to 150 different subtypes have been described.

Chemical Characterization and Assessment of Public Health Risk due to Inhalation of PM in the City of Salamanca, Guanajuato.

In this study, we conducted an analysis of health risks faced by residents of Salamanca, Mexico, who were exposed to fine particulate matter with a diameter of 2.5 μm (PM) through inhalation. The characterization and analysis of these particulate matter samples were undertaken.

Role of MicroRNA-204 in Regulating the Hallmarks of Breast Cancer: An Update.

microRNA-204-5p (miR-204) is a small noncoding RNA with diverse regulatory roles in breast cancer (BC) development and progression. miR-204 is implicated in the instauration of fundamental traits acquired during the multistep development of BC, known as the hallmarks of cancer. It may act as a potent tumor suppressor by inhibiting key cellular processes like angiogenesis, vasculogenic mimicry, invasion, migration, and metastasis.

Segmental congenital vascular anomaly with atrophy, ulceration, and scarring (SeCVAUS): Case series and review of literature.

Background: Next-generation sequencing has greatly increased our understanding of vascular birthmarks. Many port-wine birthmarks are due to somatic mutations in GNAQ/GNA11 exon 183, but other genomic causes have been identified. Most congenital hemangiomas are due to somatic mutations in GNAQ/GNA11 at exon 209.
