: Children make up a large percentage of those affected by burns worldwide, with most of them suffering from severe injuries that necessitate skilled medical attention. Despite medical progress, there is still no ideal dressing for the treatment of burn wounds in children. The aim of the study was to assess the impact of epidermal substitutes in the treatment of burn wounds in children.

Article Synopsis
  • Obesity is linked to serious health issues that can hinder healing, with the study focusing on how Body Mass Index (BMI) and insulin resistance affect moderately burned patients.
  • The research involved 149 patients, examining their clinical data, laboratory tests, and surgical needs upon admission and discharge.
  • Findings revealed that patients needing insulin had poorer lab results, longer hospital stays, and that high triglyceride levels and BMI over 25 kg/m² may indicate worse outcomes and a greater need for insulin.

BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common issue in intensive care units and is a potentially lethal consequence of severe burns. In severely burned patients with non-renal indications, renal replacement treatment is frequently used. This study's aim was to compile a 10-year summary of continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) experience at a single burn center, including patient outcomes, effectiveness, and potential complications in the context of severe burns.

The coagulation and immune systems, two vital systems in the human body, share intimate connections that fundamentally determine patient health. These systems work together through several common regulatory pathways, including the Tissue Factor (TF) Pathway. Immune cells expressing TF and producing pro-inflammatory cytokines can influence coagulation, while coagulation factors and processes reciprocally impact immune responses by activating immune cells and controlling their functions.
