“…First-degree, superficial second-degree, and deep second-degree burns generally take about 5–7 days, 2–3 weeks, and 3–4 weeks to heal, respectively. However, some of the more serious deep second-degree burn and third-degree burns require a longer time to repair, and some cannot even heal naturally, and require surgical skin grafting ( 4 ).…”

Background: The skin morphological characteristics of the Bama miniature pig are very similar to those of humans; thus, the Bama miniature pig is an ideal choice for establishing a skin burn model. Methods:In this study, 6 ordinary, male, Bama miniature pigs (weight: 23-28 kg and length: 71-75 cm) were used to establish burn models. A mixture of 1 mg of Ketamine and Sumianxin II was used for Bama miniature pigs anesthetizing, and 1 mg of Pentobarbital sodium was added as necessary. The different burn depths were made using a continuous pressure of 1 kg and contact times of 0 s, 10 s, 15 s, 20 s, 25 s, 30 s, 35 s, 40 s, and 45 s by the newly invented electronic burn instrument. The burned tissues were collected and examined with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) and Masson staining.Results: Burning for 10-15 s caused a first-degree burn; the blood vessels in the superficial dermis were dilated and congested, and necrosis occurred above the basal layer of the epidermis. Burning for 20-25 s caused a superficial partial-thickness burn; the whole epidermal layer was necrotic, and the collagen fibers were slightly deformed. Burning for 30-35 s caused a deep partial-thickness burn; the whole epidermal layer and dermal layers were necrotic with leukocyte infiltration zones, and the collagen fibers were disordered, degenerated, and necrotized. Burning for 40-45 s caused a third-degree burn; the skin layers and adipose tissues were necrotic, and the thick blood vessels in the skin adipose tissues were full of disintegrated and agglutinated red blood cells.Conclusions: Stable burn depth models of Bama miniature pigs were constructed using a new and innovative electronic burn instrument. Our findings provide a basis for further research on the burn mechanism and evaluations of therapeutic drugs.

Burn injuries, especially severe burns, triggers immune and inflammation response, disturbances of metabolism and distributive type of shock, all of this can be said as hard to treat and may lead to cause multiple organ failure. The fact that the injury not only effects physical health but also mental health his mental health and quality of life is critical. As a result, people with burn injuries cannot be deemed recovered if wounds have healed; rather, burn injuries cause long-term fundamental changes that must be focused in order to improve quality of life. As a result, burn care providers encounter a variety of issues, including managing acute and critical care, long-term care, and rehabilitation. Hand is the most commonly injured body part out of all accidents that are work related , ranks third of all workplace injuries and necessitating surgical and lengthy recovery. Hand burns make it difficult to function. The rehabilitation process has benefited from the usage of virtual reality (VR). LMC is a form of virtual reality game that uses new technology to provide biofeedback and training for fine motor function and functional skills. According to this review paper, leap motion training will enable hand burns patient to enhance finger mobility, reduce scar thickness, and improve hand function along with enhancing quality of life of patient. Although improvement in condition depends on severity of burn but this gadget proved to be a boon for hand rehab. on burn population. . Finally in conclusion of review it can be said that leap motion training may aid patients with hand burns in increasing finger range of motion, reducing scar thickness, and improving hand function.

Due to high prevalence in the south, understanding the injury pattern, healthcare burden, and cost of burn injuries associated with burning yard and trash debris are important for effective prevention. This five-year retrospective, single-center study included patients sustaining an open flame burn injury due to burning brush or trash. Based on primary residence of the 136-patients, 56% had access to free municipal waste disposal, 25% could have had access with additional payment, and 18% did not have access. The median (Q1, Q3) age and total body surface area (TBSA) burned was 50 (32, 66.5) years and 5% (2.5, 12), respectively, with 36% having some portion of full-thickness injury. One-third had some form of substance use. There were 151 total operations with a median of 1 (0, 1.5) per patient. There were 1,620 hospital days utilized (~6.6% of available bed-days per study period). Twenty-five percent were discharged with a paired functional status worse than pre-injury. Patients with some degree of pre-injury function limitations had a three-fold higher length of stay (10 vs 3 days; p = 0.023). Patients with lower pre-injury functionality had almost 4 times higher mortality (23.7% vs 6.3%; p = 0.085). There were 9 (6.7%) deaths with an average (± SD) 74.3 ± 13.1 years of age, median 33% (31, 43) TBSA, and median full-thickness TBSA of 32% (21, 44). Total hospital charges exceeded $32.6 million with a median $32,952.26 ($8,790.48, $103,113.95) per patient. Focusing future outreach efforts on education and resource availability may prevent future waste burning injuries.
