“…The Lund and Browder chart was developed to efficiently assess the amount of skin damage in burn victims within the context of emergency hospital care [16]. The chart provides a tool that can be easily used by different evaluators with a high degree of reliability and consistency [17] and it is still commonly used in clinical settings [17], [18].…”

Virtually Naked: Virtual Environment Reveals Sex-Dependent Nature of Skin Disclosure

The human tendency to reveal or cover naked skin reflects a competition between the individual propensity for social interactions related to sexual appeal and interpersonal touch versus climatic, environmental, physical, and cultural constraints. However, due to the ubiquitous nature of these constraints, isolating on a large scale the spontaneous human tendency to reveal naked skin has remained impossible. Using the online 3-dimensional virtual world of Second Life, we examined spontaneous human skin-covering behavior unhindered by real-world climatic, environmental, and physical variables. Analysis of hundreds of avatars revealed that virtual females disclose substantially more naked skin than virtual males. This phenomenon was not related to avatar hypersexualization as evaluated by measurement of sexually dimorphic body proportions. Furthermore, analysis of skin-covering behavior of a population of culturally homogeneous avatars indicated that the propensity of female avatars to reveal naked skin persisted despite explicit cultural norms promoting less revealing attire. These findings have implications for further understanding how sex-specific aspects of skin disclosure influence human social interactions in both virtual and real settings.

“…However, the degree of scar formation is predominantly determined by burn depth, which is classified as superficial, superficial-partial thickness, deep-partial thickness, or full thickness burns [11,12]. Importantly, the assessment of TBSA% can be estimated relatively quickly and easily using the Lund and Browder chart, whereas the burn depth is often determined by clinical assessment [13].…”

“…Several methods assist this estimation. They include the rule of nines, 81 the rule of palms, 81 the Lund and Browder chart, 82 and other visual aids such as mobile apps. 83 The means of categorizing burn depth varies between centers, but a generally accepted convention is to separate burns into one of three general categories of superficial, partial, or deep burns, Figure 5.…”

Burns are debilitating, life threatening, and difficult to assess and manage. Recent advances in assessment and management have occurred since a comprehensive review of the care of patients with severe burns was last published, which may influence research and clinical practice. Recent Advances: Recent advances have occurred in the understanding of burn pathophysiology, which has led to the identification of potential biomarkers of burn severity, such as protein C. There is new evidence about the potential superiority of natural colloids over crystalloids during fluid resuscitation, and new evidence about components of initial and perioperative management, including an improved understanding of pain following burns. Critical Issues: The limitations of the clinical examination highlight the need for imaging and biomarkers to assist in estimations of burn severity. Fluid resuscitation reduces mortality, although there is conjecture over the ideal method. The subsequent perioperative period is associated with significant morbidity and the evidence for preventing and treating pain, infection, and fluid overload while maximizing wound healing potential is described. Future Directions: Promising developments are ongoing in imaging technology, histopathology, biomarkers, and wound healing adjuncts such as hyperbaric oxygen therapy, topical negative pressure therapy, stem cell treatments, and skin substitutes. The greatest benefit from further research on management of patients with burns would most likely be derived from the elucidation of optimal fluid resuscitation protocols, pain management protocols, and surgical techniques from randomized controlled trials.
