Burn Injuries

2.4K
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...

Clinical Applications of Epidermal Stem Cells

2.7K
Epidermal stem cells (EpiSCs) are mainly located at the basal layer of the epidermis. These cells repair minor injuries of the skin and replace dead skin cells. However, EpiSCs’ cannot heal severe wounds such as major burns or those from diabetes or hereditary disorders. In such cases, culturing the epidermal stem cells from the patient is possible and has yielded successful treatment options, such as laboratory-grown skin grafts. These grafts are synthesized using a patient’s own...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Devices
  • Burn Injuries
  • Lithium-ion Battery Technology

Background:

  • The proliferation of lithium-ion battery-powered devices has led to an increase in associated burn injuries.
  • Common sources of these injuries include e-cigarettes, e-scooters, e-bikes, and mobile phones.

Observation:

  • This report details the first known case of a burn injury caused by the lithium-ion battery pack of an electric sock.
  • The patient sustained a full-thickness burn with eschar and cellulitis shortly after the incident.

Findings:

  • The patient was treated with oral antibiotics, surgical excision, and local wound care.
  • Despite opting against surgical closure, the wound healed completely within three months with minimal scarring.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the diverse and sometimes unexpected sources of lithium-ion battery-related injuries.
  • Understanding the risks associated with these devices is crucial for ensuring user safety.
