Burn Injuries

3.1K
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...

Healthcare Associated Infections I: Iatrogenic, Exogenic and Endogenic

4.7K
Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) occur in a healthcare facility while a person receives care for another ailment. This category also includes work-related infections among healthcare staff.
HAIs significantly increase the cost of health care. Extended stays in healthcare institutions, increased disability, increased costs of medications, including specialized antibiotics, and prolonged recovery times add to the patient's expenses and the healthcare institution and funding bodies.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis I

375
Tuberculosis, often called TB, is a contagious illness primarily caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. It mainly affects the lung parenchyma but can also impact other body parts.
Causative Organism
The primary infectious agent causing tuberculosis is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a slow-growing, acid-fast, aerobic rod that exhibits sensitivity to heat and ultraviolet light. Instances of Mycobacterium bovis and Mycobacterium avium contributing to the development of TB infection are rare.

Skin Diseases and Disorders

4.4K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Infectious diseases
  • Burn care

Background:

  • Invasive candidiasis (IC) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in hospitalized patients with major burns.
  • Understanding the incidence and risk factors of IC in this population is critical for improving patient outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incidence of invasive candidiasis (IC) in patients hospitalized with major burns.
  • To identify and analyze potential risk factors associated with IC in this patient group.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of data from Taiwan's National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD).
  • Inclusion of 3582 patients hospitalized with major burns affecting over 20% of total body surface area (TBSA) between 2000 and 2013.
  • Multivariate analysis to identify risk factors for IC.

Main Results:

  • Invasive candidiasis (IC) was diagnosed in 452 patients (12.6%) with major burns.
  • Key risk factors identified include age over 50 years (OR=1.96), female sex (OR=1.33), burns on the head (OR=1.33), and greater TBSA affected by burns.
  • These factors were statistically significant in multivariate analysis.

Conclusions:

  • Effective treatment of invasive candidiasis (IC) is essential in the management of major burn injuries.
  • The identified risk factors provide valuable insights for clinical decision-making and targeted interventions in high-risk burn patients.
