“…Baina, baliteke, prozesu hori gehiegizkoa izatea eta, beraz, bai lesio gunean eta baita inguruko organoetan ere aldaketak antzeman daitezke eta ondorioz akats multiorganikoa eta heriotza eragin ditzake. Horri erreduren ondoriozko shock-a deritzo [17,18,19]. Bitartekari hauek kalte larriak eragingo dituzte; kasurik larrienean heriotza ere eragin dezakete.…”

Azala gizakion organorik handiena da, eta bertako lesioak, hala nola, erredurak, gizartean geroz eta garrantzia handiagoa hartzen ari dira. Erredurak hainbat kausaren ondorio izan daitezke, eta oro har, lesio hauetan azaleko geruzak—epidermisa, dermisa eta/edo hipodermisa— kaltetuko dira; zenbait kasutan baita bestelako organo batzuk ere. Lesioak arinak badira, tratamendu berezi gabe sendatuko dira. Baina, larriak diren kasuan —lan honetan aztertuko direnak— tratamendua eraginkorra izan dadin terapia berezietara jo beharra dago. Gaur egun, erredura larriak tratatu eta azalaren egitura berreskuratzeko, merkatuan hainbat terapia daude: injertoak, eta ordezko dermikoak, bai oinarri zelularrekoak zein oinarri zelularrik gabekoak. Guztiekin erreduren tratamendurako erabilgarritasuna frogatu den arren, oraindik guztiek hobekuntzarako tartea dutela ere ondorioztatu da. Hori horrela, terapia horietan oinarritutako berrikuntzak eta terapia edo teknologia berriak aztertzen ari dira, adibidez, ingeniaritza genetikoa, 3D bio-inprimaketa, nano-partikuletan oinarritutako teknologiak eta zelula ama-mesenkimaletan (MSC) oinarritutako terapiak. Hori dela-eta, lan honetan merkatuan dauden terapia desberdinen ekintza mekanismoak, bakoitza zein kasutan erabili daitekeen eta dituzten abantailak eta desabantailak azalduko dira. Desabantaila horiek —prezioa, eraginkortasuna eta produkzioa batez ere— hobetzeko jarraitutako pausoak eta ikerkuntzan dauden terapiak ere aztertu dira. Terapia berri hauen ikerketak urriak dira, eta erronkak ugariak dira. Hala ere, uste da ikerkuntza berriak erredura larriak tratatzeko eraginkorrak izango direla.

“…The growth in industrial development, consumption of electricity, and usage of electrical appliances in households are contributing variables to an increase in the number of burn cases due to electricity [ 2 ]. Skin cell proteins denature and coagulate in response to burns, prompting thrombosis to develop in the blood vessels [ 3 ]. In addition to the potentially difficult-to-manage effects of multiple organ failures, metabolic changes, an inflammatory and immunological response, and distributive shock, injuries caused by burns, especially severe ones, also have an immediate effect on the person's health as a whole and physical as well as mental health [ 4 ].…”

A considerable amount of mortality and morbidity has been attributed to burn injuries. Because of expanding industrial development, greater consumption of electricity, and electric appliances at home, the number of burns caused by electricity is expanding. When it pertains to addressing burn injuries, therapeutic pursuits are necessary. The 18-year-old female patient in this case reported a history of burns due to electrical shock to her left upper and lower limbs along with her right foot. She came to the hospital, and after necessary investigations and examination, she was suggested for below elbow amputation or transradial amputation with debridement of the wound over the left axilla, foot, and right foot. Following the surgical procedure, the patient had pain, reduced muscle strength, limited joint mobility, and edema. For further rehabilitation, community health physiotherapy was advised. Routine physiotherapy treatment was provided to the patient for fifteen days. We report that after surgery, the effects of physical therapy showed decreased pain intensity, enhanced range of motion (ROM) of the affected and peripheral joints, and improved strength in adjacent muscles.

“…A burn injury is classified as a trauma caused by direct or indirect thermal effects. Depending on the source, combustions can be etiologically categorized as scalding, contact, electrical, flame, radiation, chemical, or friction [ 1 ]. According to European data, burns mainly affect children under five years of age and are predominantly caused by scalding.…”

Deep partial and full-thickness burns require surgical treatment with autologous skin grafts after necrectomy, which is the generally accepted way to achieve permanent wound coverage. This study sought to examine the grafted and donor areas of children who underwent autologous skin transplantation, using two assessment scales to determine the severity of the scarring and the cosmetic outcome during long-term follow-up. At the Surgical Unit of the Department of Paediatrics of the University of Pécs, between 1 January 2015 and 31 December 2019, children who had been admitted consecutively and received autologous skin transplantation were analyzed. Twenty patients met the inclusion criteria in this retrospective cohort study. The authors assessed the results using the Patient and Observer Scar Assessment Scale (POSAS) and the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS). There was a significant difference in how parents and examiners perceived the children’s scars. In the evaluation of the observer scale, the most critical variables for the area of skin grafted were relief and thickness. Besides color, relief was the worst clinical characteristic on the patient scale. However, when medical professionals evaluated the donor site, significantly better results were obtained compared to the transplanted area (average observer scale score: 1.4 and 2.35, p = 0.001; VSS: 0.85 vs. 2.60, p < 0.001), yet it was similar to the graft site in the parents’ opinion (Patient Scale: 2.95 and 4.45, p = 0.181).
