Epidemiological Characteristics of Hospitalized Burn Patients-A 10-Year Retrospective Study in a Major Burn Center in Serbia.
Life (Basel)
January 2025
Faculty of Medicine, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia.
Background: Many European countries' epidemiological data on burns were analyzed. This research aimed to analyze the key epidemiological characteristics of hospitalized burn patients in Serbia's major burn unit over 10 years, as well as to create the very first national epidemiological dataset with the basic requirements for future epidemiological studies.
Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted, and demographic, clinical, and burn characteristics, as well as predictors of mortality, were analyzed.
Strategies for Optimizing Acute Burn Wound Therapy: A Comprehensive Review.

Recent advancements in acute burn wound therapy are transforming the management of burn injuries, with a focus on improving healing times, graft integration, and minimizing complications. However, current clinical treatments face significant challenges, including the difficulty of accurately assessing wound depth and tissue viability, which can lead to suboptimal treatment planning. Traditional closure methods often struggle with issues such as delayed wound closure, limited graft survival, inadequate tissue regeneration, and insufficient vascularization.

Native Hawaiians (NHs) are a historically oppressed population disproportionately burdened by diabetes and related complications. The Kilolani Project, a patient navigator-centered, chronic disease management program, targets upstream drivers of health among vulnerable NH adult patients with diabetes within an urban academic safety-net clinic. To investigate the impact of the Kilolani Project, we performed a qualitative study to examine patient perspectives.

Antioxidants (Basel)
December 2024
College of Public Health Sciences, Chulalongkorn University, Bangkok 10330, Thailand.
Particulate matter (PM), particularly fine (PM) and ultrafine (PM) particles, originates from both natural and anthropogenic sources, such as biomass burning and vehicle emissions. These particles contain harmful compounds that pose significant health risks. Upon inhalation, ingestion, or dermal contact, PM can penetrate biological systems, inducing oxidative stress, inflammation, and DNA damage, which contribute to a range of health complications.

Burns
January 2025
Institute of Burn Research, Southwest Hospital, the Army Medical University (the Third Military Medical University), Chongqing 400038, China; State Key Laboratory of Trauma, Burn and Combined Injury, China. Electronic address:
Objective: To investigate coagulation disorders and thrombotic complications in the early stage after burn, and to evaluate the predictive reliability of D-dimer for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) diagnosis in major burn patients.
Methods: This retrospective study was performed in the Department of Burns, Southwest Hospital, and included 288 adult major burn patients (≥40 % TBSA) without prophylactic anticoagulant therapy. All patients received routine screening assays of coagulation indicators and Doppler ultrasound scan (DUS) during the 28 days post-burn regardless of the clinical symptoms of DVT.
