Background: Burns are a major health care problem. Early treatment increases survival of intermediate burn zones, thus decreasing morbidity, mortality, surgery, and hospitalization. Previously, aspirin was shown to improve burn perfusion and increase failing flap survival.
Objective: Owing to similarities between failing flaps and intermediate burn zones, we conducted this study to evaluate the effect of aspirin on intermediate burn zone survival.
Methods: An intermediate burn was created in 30 rats randomly divided into three experimental groups: pre- and postburn aspirin groups and a control group. Final burn survival was evaluated on day 7.
Results: No statistical difference was observed between the test and control groups. Both aspirin regimens failed to improve intermediate burn survival.
Conclusion: Presumably, administration of aspirin could not prevent the noxious tissue events of burn injury that cause cell death. Possibly, different dosages or modes of administering aspirin could have a beneficial effect on burn wound survival.

This work presents the synthesis, purification, and characterization of a molten salt fuel for the irradiation experiment SALIENT-03 (SALt Irradiation ExperimeNT), a collaborative effort between the Nuclear Research and Consultancy Group and the Joint Research Centre, European Commission. The primary objective of the project is to investigate the corrosion behavior of selected Ni-alloy based structural materials which are being considered for the construction of fluoride molten salt reactors. During the test, these materials will be exposed to selected liquid molten fuel salts under irradiation in the High Flux Reactor in Petten, the Netherlands.

The perioperative interplay between blood pressure, vasopressors, and macrocirculation is well established. However, in the context of free flap surgery, the potential impact of these factors on microvascular flow remains elusive. The aim was to evaluate the impact of norepinephrine administration on the microcirculation of free flaps.

Diabetic wounds are notoriously difficult to heal due to impaired cell repair mechanisms, reduced angiogenesis, and a heightened risk of infection. Fibroblasts play a vital role in wound healing by producing extracellular matrix (ECM) components and various growth factors, but their function is inhibited in diabetic wounds. Chitooligosaccharides (COS), intermediate products of chitosan degradation, have shown efficacy in promoting tissue repair, yet their role in diabetic wound healing remains underexplored.

Deep intermediate burns of the hand are a challenge for both the functional and aesthetic result. In this study we compare the efficacy of early selective enzymatic escarolysis followed by the application of stromal vascular fraction (SVF) extracted from autologous adipose tissue on a dermal substitute scaffold (DS) versus reconstruction by partial thickness skin grafts (PTSG). We enrolled all patients admitted to our referral Burn Center from September 2020 to January 2022 with deep intermediate burns of the hands: clinical data were collected, then the first group of 4 patients were treated with PTSG surgical reconstruction, and the second group of 7 patients with DS+SVF.
