“…In our study, it shows similarity with the literature by drawing a more intense profile in men. Considering the age distribution in these studies, it was seen that the most affected group was in the 20-50 age range (8)(9)(10)(11). In our study, we found the mean age to be 35±18 years and it was similar to the literature.…”

Background: Skin protects the body against external factors, helps maintain physiological body temperature, and has sensory and immune functions. Burns can occur with electricity, radiation, chemicals, hot and cold factors. Since this is a very important public health problem, we aimed to analyze the epidemiological data of third-degree burns with high risk of mortality and morbidity in our emergency department.Methods: Retrospectively, 73 patients with third-degree burns between January 2011 and December 2012 were included in the study. Demographic data of the patients, location and percentage of burn, cause, and mortality were recorded. Data between genders analyzed statistically.Results: 79.5% of the patients were male. The mean age was 35±18 years. Flame burns were most common. It was determined that male patients had longer hospital stays. There was no statistically significant difference between age and gender in terms of mortality. It was observed that mortality increased as the percentage of burns increased. Conclusion:Third-degree burns are the most common cause of burns with flame, as in young adult males. While there is no difference in mortality between age and gender, the death rate increases as the burn area increases. The frequency of burns can be reduced if the society is educated about protective measures against flammable and combustible materials. Thus, the bad results that may occur due to burns can be reduced. Therefore, regional epidemiological studies are needed.

“…In the hypodermis layer, the thickness is less than 1 mm and decreased with age [6,10,11]. In skin, burn injuries are primarily caused by open flame cooking, stoves, accidents, and cylinder explosions [10,12]. Burns that are severe, need a skin graft during the healing process, which is produced by surgically removing a small section of healthy donor skin and expanding it mechanically to cover the larger affected area [13].…”

Skin graft designs play an essential role in healing severe burn injuries. Split-thickness skin grafting (STSG) is one of the commonly used techniques for treating large burn injuries. In STSG, parallel cuts are projected onto a small portion of excised healthy skin for expansion and covering a larger burn area. To date, expansions reported for STSG are very low and insufficient to cover large burn areas. In this work, novel traditional and auxetic hierarchical cuts were designed on skin graft simulants, which were mechanically tested to study their expansion potential. Additive manufacturing and a two-part polymeric material were employed to fabricate the skin graft simulants. The nonlinear mechanical behavior of the hierarchical skin graft simulants was characterized using hyperelastic models. The effective Poisson's ratio, meshing ratios, and induced stresses in first and second-order hierarchical cut patterns were estimated across all skin graft simulants for up to 300% strain. Also, Statistical analysis was performed to calculate the significance among the groups. From the analysis, the skin graft simulants with second-order auxetic incision patterns were found to exhibit the lowest induced stresses and maximum expansion of approximately four times, at 300% strain. To date, traditional skin grafts have only been able to achieve up to three times expansion. Therefore, the expansions realized with the novel hierarchical skin graft simulants is unprecedented, with the potential to generate ground-breaking advances in burn injury treatment.

Introduction: Burns are a major burden to the society in terms of lives lost, treatment costs, and postburn deformities. This study aims to identify the incidence, causes of burns, associated risk factors, and mortality in a tertiary care center in Uttarakhand. Patients and Methods: This study was an observational study conducted from October 2018 to April 2021 at a tertiary care center in Uttarakhand. It includes the patients with thermal burns who were admitted in the burns unit of the hospital. The interrelationship between various risk factors and mortality was studied. Results: A total of 247 patients were included in the study. Males outnumbered females constituting 55.47% of the population. Most of the patients were of age group 21–40 years and were from rural backgrounds, belonging to lower socioeconomic class. The literacy rate was 76.52%. Farming was the predominant occupation. Major cause of burns was flame burns with second-degree burns being the most common. Accidental burns were common, and mostly (39.68%) patients sustained burns with total burn surface area (TBSA) <25%. The mortality rate was 11.34%. Majority (56.68%) of the patients belonged to Class IV socioeconomic class (modified BG Prasad classification). Conclusions: Young males of rural background and low socioeconomic strata were the most common victim of burn injuries. The majority of cases were accidental thermal burns. The mortality rate was high in patients with TBSA >60%, third-degree burns and housewives. Appropriate measures need to be taken regarding the education of the public for prevention of burns and improvement in healthcare to decrease the incidence and improve the outcome of burn patients.
