Background: Sepsis remains a leading cause of late mortality in critically ill burn patients. The optimal hemodynamic strategy, including vasopressor combinations, corticosteroids, and landiolol therapy, remains incompletely defined in this populatio...
Background: Resistance exercise is a cornerstone of rehabilitation after burn; however prescription of resistance-based exercise during acute adult burn recovery remains empiric and experience-based, varying widely between centres. To understand the...
Objectives: Microneedling is a promising treatment for hypertrophic scars (HSc); however, documentation of its effects remains limited. The purpose of this study was to objectively quantify scar changes and patient-reported outcomes following microne...
Background: Early recognition and management of burns are essential, yet access to technologically complex simulation may be limited in resource-constrained educational settings. Methods: We developed a resource-conscious simulation scenario for the...
Introduction: Burn severity alone may not explain differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) after burn injury. We examined whether emotional reactivity and emotion-regulation strategies were associated with HRQoL beyond burn severity. Met...
Background: Blue-light photobiomodulation (PBM) may support burn wound repair through modulation of early inflammatory responses, but comparative evidence in children remains limited. We examined associations between adjunctive PBM, early local infla...
