Aim: The study aim was to investigate if Suprathel® can be an adequate alternative to Mepilex® Ag for the treatment of partial-thickness scalds in children.
Methods: A retrospective study including 58 children admitted to The Burn Centre in Linköping, Sweden between year 2015 and 2022. Of the 58 children, 30 were dressed with Suprathel ® and 28 with Mepilex ® Ag. Outcomes investigated were healing time, burn wound infection (BWI), need for operations and number of dressing changes.
Results: We found no significant differences in any of the outcomes. In the Suprathel ® group 17 children and in the Mepilex ® Ag group 15 children were healed within 14 days. Ten children from each group received antibiotics for suspected BWI and two from each group underwent an operation with skin grafting. Each group had on median four dressing changes.
Conclusions: Two different treatments were compared for children with partial-thickness scalds, and the data indicates that similar results are received with both dressings.

Background: Among cardiovascular diseases, adult patients with congenital heart disease represent a population that has been continuously increasing, which is mainly due to improvement of the pathophysiological framing, including the development of surgical and reanimation techniques. However, approximately 20% of these patients will require surgery in adulthood and 40% of these cases will necessitate reintervention for residual defects or sequelae of childhood surgery. In this field, cardiac rehabilitation (CR) in the postsurgical phase has an important impact on the patient by improving psychophysical and clinical recovery in reducing fatigue and dyspnea to ultimately increase survival.

Importance: Patients deciding between advanced therapies for overactive bladder syndrome may be interested to know the likelihood of treatment crossover after sacral neuromodulation, intradetrusor OnabotulinumtoxinA, or percutaneous tibial nerve stimulation. Treatment crossover was defined as a switch from one advanced therapy to another.
Objectives: The aim of this study was to estimate the rate of treatment crossover after each advanced therapy for nonneurogenic overactive bladder syndrome.
