Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

3.4K
Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Bacterial Flora of the Large Intestine01:29

Bacterial Flora of the Large Intestine

989
The gut microbiome is formed by a vast and diverse community of bacteria that colonizes our large intestine. These bacteria start residing in the gut from birth and continue diversifying throughout life, influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, and stress. The gut bacterial community also includes bacteria from food and those that enter the colon through the anus.
The normal gut flora of the colon plays a critical role in generating essential vitamins such as vitamins K, B5, and B7.

What is Monogastric Digestion?01:50

What is Monogastric Digestion?

74.1K
The human body contains a monogastric digestive system. In a monogastric digestive system, the stomach only contains one chamber in which it digests food. Several other animal species also have monogastric digestive systems, including pigs, horses, dogs, and birds. This chapter, however, focuses on the human digestive system.

Anatomy of the Intestines

85.6K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology01:17

Gastritis-II: Pathophysiology

870
Gastritis is marked by disruption of the mucosal barrier that usually protects the stomach tissue from digestive juices and manifests in acute and chronic forms.
In acute gastritis, the gastric mucosa becomes swollen and red and undergoes superficial erosion. Superficial ulceration may lead to bleeding.
In chronic gastritis, persistent or repeated insults lead to chronic inflammatory changes and, eventually, thinning or atrophy of the gastric tissue.
Gastritis can stem from various causes, each...

Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology01:28

Peptic Ulcer Disease II: Pathophysiology

1.4K
Peptic Ulcer Disease (PUD) is characterized by the development of ulcers in the stomach or duodenal mucosa. Its pathophysiology is complex, involving a balance between damaging and protective elements.
Damaging agents such as Helicobacter pylori, gastric acid, pepsin, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) can weaken the mucosal defense, allowing hydrogen ions to infiltrate back and harm epithelial cells.

Summary

Burn injuries disrupt the gut microbiome, impacting immune response and recovery. Understanding these changes is crucial for preventing complications like sepsis after severe burns.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Microbiology
  • Trauma Surgery

Background:

  • Burn injuries are a significant global health issue, causing widespread morbidity and mortality.
  • Inflammation and organ dysfunction are hallmarks of burn injuries.
  • The gastrointestinal microbiome plays a critical role in immune regulation and post-injury recovery.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review existing literature on intestinal microbiome alterations following burn injuries.
  • To assess the role of microbial dysbiosis in post-burn pathogenesis.
  • To identify areas for future research in burn injury and the microbiome.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies investigating the gut microbiome after burn injury.
  • Analysis of the implications of these changes in burn pathogenesis.
  • Synthesis of current knowledge and identification of research gaps.

Main Results:

  • Burn injuries induce significant changes in the composition and function of the gastrointestinal microbiome.
  • Microbial dysbiosis post-burn is linked to detrimental outcomes, including sepsis and multiple organ failure.
  • The precise mechanisms by which the microbiome influences burn severity are still being elucidated.

Conclusions:

  • The gut microbiome is a critical factor in the body's response to burn injury.
  • Targeting the microbiome may offer novel therapeutic strategies for improving outcomes after burns.
  • Further research is needed to fully understand and exploit the microbiome's role in burn care.
