Infections are the leading cause of mortality in burn patients who survive their initial resuscitation. Burn injury leads to immunosuppression and a dysregulated inflammatory response which can have a prolonged impact. Early surgical excision along with support of the multidisciplinary burn team has improved mortality in burn patients. The authors review diagnostic and therapeutic challenges as well as strategies for management of burn related infections.

A field resource for the glioma cerebrospinal fluid proteome: impacts of resection and location on biomarker discovery.
Neuro Oncol
December 2024
Department of Neurological Surgery, Mayo Clinic; Rochester, MN, USA.
Background: While serial sampling of glioma tissue is rarely performed prior to recurrence, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is an underutilized longitudinal source of candidate glioma biomarkers for understanding therapeutic impacts. However, the impact of key variables to consider in longitudinal CSF samples for monitoring biomarker discovery, including anatomical location and post-surgical changes, remains unknown.
Methods: Aptamer-based proteomics was performed on 147 CSF samples from 74 patients, 71 of whom had grade 2-4 astrocytomas or grade 2-3 oligodendrogliomas.
Surgically facilitated orthodontics with clear aligners for severe malocclusion and gingival recessions.
Clin Adv Periodontics
January 2025
Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Eastman Institute for Oral Health, University of Rochester, Rochester, New York, USA.
Background: Gingival recession defects (GRDs) pose functional and esthetic concerns and may be associated with unfavorable tooth positions. Surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment (SFOT) with clear aligners can be a valuable option for adults with severe malocclusion and GRDs.
Methods: A 28-year-old male presented with severe dental crowding, Class III dental malocclusion, localized tooth crossbites, and tapered maxillary arch.
Cervical Defect Reconstruction Using Preexpanded Neck Flaps Transferred in a Scarf-wrapping Manner.
J Craniofac Surg
January 2025
Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Plastic Surgery Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Peking Union Medical College, Shijingshan, Beijing, P.R. China.
Objective: Cervical burn scar contractures can be repaired using many modalities, including skin grafts, pedicled and free flaps. Although preexpanded cervical flaps can provide a like-with-like reconstruction, a simple advancement transfer of the flaps often fails to achieve ideal outcomes. The authors aimed to introduce a method using the preexpanded cervical flaps transferred in a scarf-wrapping manner to repair neck defects.
