Ann Burns Fire Disasters
December 2024
Combustion of surgical drapes during surgery is a rare event which can nonetheless lead to serious consequences. Iatrogenic burns caused by this complication are often deep and lead to functional and aesthetic sequelae. Nevertheless, awareness of the triggering factors and mechanisms, as well as knowledge of the proper use of various at-risk products such as alcohol-based antiseptic agents and compressed oxygen can reduce the incidence of these undesirable events.

- - The study investigated how minor burns can lead to increased metabolic rates (measured as measured energy expenditure or mEE) in outpatient adults using indirect calorimetry.
- - A total of 49 patients were evaluated, revealing that about 43% showed signs of hypermetabolism, and their energy intake was significantly lower than their mEE.
- - Findings suggest that patients with minor burns might require more energy than they are consuming, highlighting the importance of monitoring their dietary intake post-injury.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores the use of subcritical water hydrolysis to extract proteins and bioactive compounds from the macroalga Padina tetrastromatica, highlighting its potential as a sustainable source of amino acids and peptides.
- The optimal extraction conditions identified were 220 °C for 10 minutes, resulting in the recovery of 79% protein and a significant amount of essential amino acids, with an emphasis on methionine, isoleucine, and leucine.
- Additionally, the hydrolysate demonstrated antioxidant properties and showed potential in inhibiting enzymes linked to Alzheimer's disease and diabetes, suggesting its applications in nutraceutical, pharmaceutical, and cosmeceutical fields.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the role of androgen receptor (AR) in disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) as a potential marker for minimal residual disease (MRD) and metastasis in early breast cancer (BC) patients.
- Out of 62 patients tested, AR expression was found in 43% of DTCs, but there was only a 33% concordance between DTCs and primary tumor (PT) AR statuses.
- The findings suggest a notable discordance in AR status between DTCs and PTs, highlighting the need for further research to understand the clinical implications of AR-positive DTCs in early BC.
