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...

IntroductionThe management of Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) aims to minimize myocardial damage, preserve myocardial function, and prevent complications.Initial ManagementInpatient management involves continuous cardiac monitoring, preferably in an ICU, focusing on blood pressure, serum sodium, potassium, and creatinine levels, and urine output. Ongoing pharmacologic management is crucial for stabilizing the patient.Supplemental Oxygen: Administer supplemental oxygen if oxygen saturation is...

Cancer Therapies

9.1K
Cancer therapies are various modes of treatment, such as surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy that are administered to cancer patients.
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...

Depressive Disorders: Etiology01:27

Depressive Disorders: Etiology

278
Depressive disorders result from a complex interplay of biological, psychological, and sociocultural factors, each contributing uniquely to the development and persistence of the condition. Understanding these factors provides critical insight into the multifaceted nature of depression.
Biological Factors in Depression
Biological predispositions significantly influence the risk of developing depressive disorders. Genetic studies highlight the role of variations in the serotonin transporter...

Summary

Burn survivors face higher risks of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts compared to the general population. Targeted suicide risk screening is crucial for their care due to identified risk factors.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Trauma Surgery
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Burn injuries can lead to significant psychological distress.
  • Co-occurring psychiatric conditions are common in burn survivors.
  • The long-term mental health impact, including suicidality, requires thorough investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the prevalence of suicidal ideation and behaviors in burn survivors.
  • To identify risk and protective factors associated with suicidality post-burn.
  • To highlight gaps in current research on burn survivor suicidality.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of studies on suicide and burn survivors.
  • Searched multiple databases: PubMed, EMBASE, CINAHL, Cochrane, PsycINFO, Web Science.
  • Included 14 full-text manuscripts and 2 published abstracts.

Main Results:

  • Burn survivors exhibit increased suicidal ideation and lifetime suicide attempts.
  • Evidence on completed suicide rates post-burn is mixed but appears low.
  • Key risk factors include discharge pain, disfigurement perception, prior psychiatric issues, and previous attempts.

Conclusions:

  • Burn survivors demonstrate elevated suicidality risk.
  • Data on completed suicides is limited, necessitating further research.
  • Integrating suicide risk screening into burn care is recommended.
