Thermal or burn injuries cause coagulative necrosis of the epidermis and underlying tissues and the resultant wounds can be long lasting and highly painful. Depending on the depth of a burn, management ranges from local wound care to surgical intervention. When presented with deep-partial thickness and full-thickness burns, autologous skin grafting has been the mainstay of management to prevent scarring and promote healing.

Airbags have significantly reduced the severity of injuries sustained in vehicular crashes. The most common injuries are minor abrasions, contusions, etc., but severe and fatal thermal burns and craniofacial fractures may occur nonetheless.

Introduction: Fibromyalgia has a high female predominance and research work has been focussing mainly on women.
Objectives: We aimed to answer (1) gender differences in pain scores and quality of life, (2) any gender-specific subgroups defined by quantitative sensory testing (QST), and (3) correlations of QST parameters with pain intensity and questionnaire scores.
Methods: We evaluated clinical presentations and QST profiles from 38 male and 38 age-matched female patients.

Severe burn injuries are among the most traumatic and physically debilitating conditions, impacting nearly every organ system and resulting in considerable morbidity and mortality. Given their complexity and the involvement of multiple organs, various animal models have been created to replicate different facets of burn injury. Methods used to produce burned surfaces vary among experimental animal models.

In wildland firefighting, the air gap (AG) between clothing and the human body can effectively decrease heat transferred to skin but has a negative impact on thermal aging of clothing. Heat transfer to skin from a fire source can led to burn injuries and heat is transmitted between adjacent AGs parallel to the skin surface. An open AG simulator was developed to explore the dual effects of the AG on fabric thermal aging and skin thermal protection.
