Neglected finger ring entrapment: a case series illustrating lessons for clinical practice.

Finger ring entrapment could compromise the neurovascular status of the finger if not treated promptly. We aimed to report two cases of neglected finger ring entrapment following minor blunt trauma to the hand and illustrate some lessons for clinical practice. Both patients were right-hand dominant, presented 3-4 weeks after the onset of symptoms, and had circumferential ulceration of the affected fingers.

Nutrition education programs for burn survivors: A scoping review.

Despite the importance of nutrition education for burn survivors, only limited work has been done to ascertain what is known about these education programs. To scope the existing literature to ascertain what is known about the nature and outcomes associated with nutrition education programs for burn survivors, their families and caregivers. Arksey and O'Malley scoping review approach were utilized with searches across peer-reviewed databases and gray literature sources.

Epidemiology and Outcomes of Cooking- and Cookstove-Related Burn Injuries: A World Health Organization Global Burn Registry Report.

Cooking- and cookstove-related burns (CSBs) comprise a large proportion of burn injuries globally, but there are limited data on cooking behavior patterns to inform prevention and advocacy. Therefore, we aimed to describe the epidemiology, risk factors, and outcomes of these injuries and highlight the potential of the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Burn Registry (GBR). Patients with cooking-related burns were identified in the WHO GBR.

"Managing uncertainty": Experiences of family members of burn patients from injury occurrence to the end-of-life period.

Background: Although mortality rates associated with burns have decreased, there is still a significant number of persons who may not survive severe forms of the injury and thus, undergo comfort/end of life care. The experiences of family members of persons whose injuries are deemed unsurvivable remain minimally explored and there is a general lack of practice guidelines and recommendations to support them at the end-of-life period.

Aim: To explore the experiences of family members whose relatives died in the burn unit to inform the development of practice recommendations.
