A STUDY OF EPIDEMIOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF BURN INJURIES.

ABSTRACT: A study was conducted of the epidemiological aspects of 500 fresh cases of burns during the period February to August 1989. Women in the reproductive age group from the lower socioeconomic strata were the most frequently victims (52.8%). Four hundred and thirteen (82.5%) patients sustained accidental burns, 62 (12.4%) were suicidal and 25 (5%) homicidal. Majority (72%) of the accidents occurred as a consequence of garments catching fire. Though most of the subjects wore cotton garments, mortality was higher among those wearing synthetic fabric. Low socioeconomic conditions, overcrowding in the house, floor-level cooking, unsafe cooking appliances and the prevalent clothing pattern stand out prominently as risk factors for burn injury.

Gene response to major burn injuries

Project description:Blood was sampled from severe burns patients over time as well as healthy subjects. Genome-wide expression analyses were conducted using the Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 GeneChip™. The Inflammation and the Host Response to Injury Large-Scale Collaborative Research Program Blood was sampled from 244 severe burns patients over time as well as 35 healthy subjects who consented to blood sampling. Study subjects were treated under standard operating procedures to minimize treatment variations. Patients had burns covering >20% of the total body surface area and were admitted within 96 hours of injury. Genome-wide expression analyses were conducted using the Affymetrix U133 plus 2.0 GeneChip™.

Identifying Non-Invasive Molecular Correlates relevant to Irradiation-Skin Burn Combined Injuries

Project description:Currently there is growing concern with respect to scenarios where people are likely to be presented with radiation exposure along with many kinds of other injuries such as trauma and infection. The potential for such scenarios was brought to reality with the events and aftermath of the Fukushima nuclear disaster in Japan. As such medical complications arising from such exposures would be poorly dealt with as no evidence-based guidelines exist for their rehabilitation or recovery. Our research intends to differentially characterize combined radiation and burn injuries and identify novel pathways and biomarkers. Such findings will lead to better medical practices in the diagnosis, care and rehabilitation of affected individuals. The study includes four groups of mice: 1) Control sham mice group (n=4), 2) Skin burn injury mice group (n=6), 3) Radiation injury mice group (n=6), 4) Combined radiation and burn injury mice group (n=6). We propose to characterize the effects of combined radiation and burn injuries using microRNA microarray analysis. Our primary aim is to identify novel molecular pathways and biomarkers specific to whole blood samples (serum) from mice exposed to combined radiation and burn injuries. B6D2F1/J female mice will be used. 30 days following combined radiation and burn injuries arterial blood will be harvested from euthanized mice. 200ul of serum from whole blood samples will be used for microRNA microarray experiments (Affymetrix).
