Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a known complication of burns. The incidence of this complication is low. The etiology is unclear, but experiment conducted about HO can be significant. Currently, there are still no targeted, effective preventive and therapeutic measures against it. In this study, the relevant literature is summarized to demonstrate the potential pathogenic mechanisms, diagnosis, prophylaxis, and treatment measures of HO in burn patients. Early diagnosis and treatment can be effective in improving the prognosis of patients.
Research Interests:
Two cases of cesarean delivery in the management of burn injuries in 2 pregnant patients are presented to illustrate current utilization of cesarean delivery for infant rescue in maternal burn care.

Background Multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs) pose a significant threat to severe burn victims and represents a clear epidemic hazard in burn units. Several infection control measures have been implemented to control and manage the outbreaks of MDRO. The efficiency of those measures, however, remains controversial and an area of debate. A systematic review was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of infection control measures and the necessity of closing burn units in dealing with MDRO outbreaks. Methods Peer-reviewed articles were identified using PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials databases, focusing on infection control measures to manage MDRO outbreaks in burn units. Results Twenty-one studies that reported MDRO outbreaks in burn units met the inclusion criteria. The outbreaks were successfully controlled with interventions in 17 units (81%), partially controlled in 1 unit (4.7%), and uncontrolled in 3 units (14.3%). Infection control measures we...

Objectives The aims of this study were to review recent fungal infection case reports published, evaluate the treatment regimens and clinical outcomes, and provide recommendations for future management. Methods A review of case reports published over the last decade was conducted. PubMed was searched to collect the relevant citations using a combination of the key words (“burn,” “burned,” “burns,” “fungal,” “fungi,” and “fungus”) in title or abstract. Case series, reviews, guidelines, and experimental and non-English studies were excluded. Statistical analyses were performed using Microsoft Excel 2019. Results A total of 36 case reports encompassing a total of 44 burn patients with fungal infection were included in the final analysis. Ablative surgeries, including surgical excision, debridement, skin graft, vitrectomy, teeth extraction, valve replacement, or amputation, were performed in 38 cases after the suspicion or identification of fungal infection. Twenty-nine of them were eve...
