Background: Because internal temperature of tandir may reach up very high levels, tandir burns, which is one of flame burns, may cause more morbidity and mortality than those of other flame burns. Therefore, we aimed to compare tandir burns with other flame burns in the present study.
Methods: In this study, we compared tandir burns with other flame burns concerning age, gender, total burn surface area, burn depth, hospitalization times, hospitalization duration, surgical procedures performed, wound culture results, burn localization and mortality.
Results: Tandir burn patients were treated in the hospital for an average of 27.6±9.5 days, while non-tandir burn patients were treated for a period of 16.5±12.5 days. A significant difference was found between the hospitalization periods of the two groups (p<0.001). Tandir burn, which is a type of flame burn, affects the women and children much more frequently than other flame burns (p=0.0001), causes deeper burns (p=0.0001), which requires more surgical intervention (p=0.0001) and causes more frequent wound site infection.
Conclusion: We think that it would be beneficial to treat high-temperature burns, such as tandir burns, as a separate group from other flame burns. We believe that further studies to be conducted in this field will bring new approaches to the treatment of tandir burns.

Background: Many European countries' epidemiological data on burns were analyzed. This research aimed to analyze the key epidemiological characteristics of hospitalized burn patients in Serbia's major burn unit over 10 years, as well as to create the very first national epidemiological dataset with the basic requirements for future epidemiological studies.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, and demographic, clinical, and burn characteristics, as well as predictors of mortality, were analyzed.

Flammability and smoke generation of glass-fiber-reinforced polyester laminates (GFRPs) modified with L-arginine phosphate (ArgPA) have been investigated. The composition, structure, and thermal degradation processes of ArgPA were assessed by the elemental, FTIR, and thermogravimetric analyses. Flammability and smoke emission of GFRPs varying by different amounts (5-15 wt.

The development of bio-based flame retardants has garnered significant attention, however, significant challenges remain in achieving efficient flame retardancy and eco-friendly preparation methods. Herein, we propose a facile, atomic-efficient, and eco-friendly strategy for synthesizing a trinity chitosan-based flame retardant, phosphite-protonated chitosan (PCS). The chemical structure was systematically analyzed and the impact of varying degrees of protonation on the dissolution behavior and rheological properties were investigated.

Following severe burns, the predominant concern is significant fluid loss, for which balanced crystalloid solutions are widely recommended as the primary intravenous resuscitation fluids. However, current literature lacks a clear distinction among various buffered crystalloid types that might be most effective in the early resuscitation of burn patients. This retrospective study was conducted to identify the optimal resuscitation fluid for major burns and to assess the clinical outcomes associated with isotonic crystalloid solutions compared to hypotonic crystalloids, specifically in terms of urinary output, acid-base balance, and electrolyte stability.
