After a burn injury, pre-hospital care, which includes first aid measures before transfer to a burns center, is considered to be a significantly important step in the process of burn treatment. Individuals who receive medical care at a hospital following initial first aid administered at home experience a better outcome. This letter aimed to discuss about the importance and obstacles of prehospital management of burn injuries.

Weddell seal (Leptonychotes weddellii) females lose substantial body mass across an intensive, nutritionally restricted lactation period and then must rapidly recover mass during the short Antarctic summer. In this study, we examined endocrine dynamics associated with mass loss across lactation and subsequent realimentation in Weddell seals, comparing patterns between seals that recently gave birth and demographically similar non-reproductive females (skip females) in McMurdo Sound, Antarctica. Postpartum seals near weaning (∼35 days postpartum, n = 64) and skip females (n = 32) were handled during early austral summer (November/December) and rehandled in late summer (January/February).

Background: Platelets and fresh frozen plasma (FFP) are frequently administered to critically ill patients. Considering the variability in indications and thresholds guiding these transfusions, a comprehensive review of current evidence was conducted to provide guidance to critical care practitioners. This CHEST guideline examined the literature on platelet transfusions in critically ill patients with thrombocytopenia, with and without active bleeding, as well as data on prophylactic platelet and FFP transfusions for common procedures in the critical care setting.

The erythroblastic island (EBI) functions as a niche in which erythroblastic island macrophages (EBIMφs) are positioned within rings of erythroblasts, providing support and signals that orchestrate efficient erythropoiesis. We postulated burn injury impacts the EBI niche, given the nearly universal presence of anemia and inflammation in burn patients, and a divergent myeloid transcriptional signature that we observed in murine bone marrow following burn injury, in which granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (G-CSF) secretion broadly attenuated the expression of EBIMφ marker genes. Notably, we identified the heme-induced transcription factor Spi-C as a robust marker of EBIMφs in Spicigfp/igfp mice.

The organization of microtubules into a mitotic spindle is critical for animal cell proliferation and involves the cooperation of hundreds of proteins whose molecular roles and regulation are not fully understood. The protein product of the Drosophila gene abnormal spindle, Asp, is a microtubule-associated protein required for correct mitotic spindle formation. To better understand the contribution of Asp to microtubule organization during spindle formation, we reverse-engineered flies to express a version of Asp (Asp), predicted to have lost its ability to bind the phosphatase trimer PP2A-B56.

Introduction: Traditionally, alveolar bone grafting (ABG) uses bone from the iliac crest for repair. Harvesting this graft has been associated with significant donor site pain. Local anesthetic is a useful adjunct to alleviate postoperative opioid requirements.
