Article Synopsis
- Pruritus, particularly chronic post-burn pruritus (CPBP), is an itch that lasts for over six weeks due to skin damage and abnormal healing, with unknown brain mechanisms contributing to the condition.
- A study involving 20 CPBP patients and 20 healthy controls used resting-state fMRI to analyze brain activity through various measures while accounting for factors like age.
- Results indicated significant brain activity differences in CPBP patients, including higher regional homogeneity (ReHo) in various areas such as the middle frontal gyrus, and increased amplitude of low-frequency fluctuations (ALFF), suggesting altered brain function related to ongoing itch sensation.
A comprehensive nurse-led aftercare programme addressing post-burn sexual well-being of adult burn survivors: a randomised controlled trial.

Evidence-Based Center for Nursing, Lanzhou University, Lanzhou, China.
Background: Sexual well-being is a key part of being human yet often remains shrouded in secrecy and poorly addressed in the clinical setting. The impact of burns and its long-term sequelae often lead to concerns regarding body image disturbance, self-esteem issues, and interpersonal challenges which can impact on an individual's sexual well-being. However, existing post-burn rehabilitation programmes usually lack components addressing concerns regarding sexual well-being.

Department of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, St. Vincent's Hospital, College of Medicine, The Catholic University of Korea, Seoul, Korea.
Background: Autologous skin grafting has been the popular method for reconstructing post-burn defects. However, this technique has limitations such as high contracture rates and inadequate volume coverage. This report aims to propose the principles and advantages of utilizing microsurgically linked perforator flaps for the reconstruction of extensive burn defects and associated post-burn scar contracture in the lower and upper extremities and trunk.

December 2024
Department of Plastic Surgery, Faculty of Medicine, Sohag University, Sohag, Egypt.
Article Synopsis
- There is no universal best surgical method for treating post-burn axillary contractures, but measuring scar elongation is crucial in deciding the optimal approach.
- The study compared the square flap and five flap z-plasty techniques, focusing on their effectiveness in increasing scar length and shoulder joint functionality.
- Results showed that while both techniques released contractures completely, the square flap significantly outperformed the five flap Z-plasty in terms of scar elongation, making it a preferable treatment option.
Effects of a nurse-led aftercare telehealth programme on sleep and psychological outcomes of adult burn survivors: A randomized controlled trial.

Evidence-based Centre for Nursing, Lanzhou University, China.
Introduction: Burn survivors often experience a plethora of post-burn residual needs following their discharge including psychological issues and poor sleep. These needs are often overlooked with a significant focus on resolving physical issues. Aftercare support is particularly limited.
