Closed craniocerebral injury was observed in 75% of victims with mass affection of locomotor apparatus, mine and explosion trauma, gunshot wounds, burn shock and burn disease.
Among infectious complications in patients with serious heat injury, the most dangerous is sepsis developing in the early stages of burn disease.
The development of both local and generalized infection in an acute period of burn disease occurs against the background of DIC syndrome induced by a serious heat injury.
Examined patients were divided into two groups: in the first group an acute period of burn disease was complicated by progress of sepsis (33 patients), and in the second group complications in the form of sepsis were not observed.
The aim of the study is to reveal the most relevant hemostasis system changes in sepsis and pneumonia in patients with serious heat injury in an acute period of burn disease.
The analysis of findings showed both sepsis and pneumonia development in an acute period of burn disease to be accompanied by disorders of anticoagulant, fibrinolytic and procoagulant parts of the hemostasis system typical for DIC syndrome.
Comparative analysis of hemostasis system disorders in severe burn patients with early sepsis and those without similar complication showed that the progress of generalized infection in the acute period of burn disease is accompanied by reliable decreased activity of antithrombin III, XIIa-dependent fibrinolysis, blood plate count, and prothrombin time prolongation.
Providing the latest information on these slow-burn diseases is the Neuromuscular Disease Center, a Web site packed with descriptions of the epidemiology, diagnosis, and treatment of several hundred conditions, from ALS to zoster.
The medicinal applications of H. perforatum, including skin wounds, eczema, burns, diseases of the alimentary tract, and psychological disorders, have been related to the phenolic composition of the plant, particularly to hypericins, hyperforins, and flavonoids [3,4].
The need for skin substitutes is thus significant, particularly for large defects from burns, congenital diseases, trauma, and infections.
The letters say Iplex might be useful in treating not only growth deficiency, but also Lou Gehrig's disease, burns, eye diseases, adult muscular dystrophy and the side effects of H.I.V. medications.
