The quantitative assessment of the results of burn management is notoriously difficult. With the focus changing from survival to cosmetic and functional outcome, the scar assessments are increasingly important. The scar is a sum of the injury and all subsequent interventions on the way to healing. As such it is a complex structure, abnormal in its colour, depth, contour and pliability. To develop a quantitative system we believe it is vital to be able to track accurately an area of injury through time. Further, that physiological data acquired by a number of measurement tools be fused accurately to the morphologically correct information.

Acute myeloid leukemia is the expansion of leukemic stem cells which might originate from a stem cell or a progenitor which has acquired self-renewal capacity. An aggregation of leukemic blasts in bone marrow, peripheral blood, and extramedullary tissue will result in acute myeloid leukemia. The main difficulty in treating acute myeloid leukemia is multidrug resistance, leading to treatment failure.

Background: Telehealth services are becoming increasingly popular at primary healthcare centres. Some examples include text-based digital triage and health guidance using chats, emails, images and pre-filled forms. Telephone-based communication has until recent years been the predominant means for triage and health guidance, but now includes written communication via computer or smartphone.

Background: Innovative health technologies have increasingly emerged as a promising solution for patients with untreatable or challenging conditions. However, these technologies often come with expensive costs and limited evidence at the time of launch. This study assessed how these high-priced drugs with limited evidence were appraised and introduced in South Korea, England, Australia, and Canada, where cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) generally plays a central role in pricing and reimbursement decisions.
