“Birdman.” While Ryan Parrott’s nickname is certainly interesting, the story behind it is quite traumatic. In 2005, the Navy SEAL’s Humvee was hit by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Parrott was in the gunner’s turret, and the explosion sent him flying up into the air.
While he suffered first- and second-degree burns, an encounter with a gravely burned Army Ranger after his service would lead him to become a burn-care advocate for veterans, first responders, civilians, and their families.

Jellyfish may soon help improve how people heal their wounds. Researchers in Mexico discovered that the animals could help create a new scaffold for repairing human skin. The findings, published in the journal Materials Science and Engineering, suggest that abundant jellyfish species called Cassiopea andromeda, which is part of the “upside-down jellyfish” family, have special tissues that can also be used on humans. The jellyfish appeared to have structures similar to that found in human skin tissue.

 A new study on COVID-19, led by researchers at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, estimates 5.1 days for incubation period and suggests that about 97.5% of people who develop symptoms of infection will do so within 11.5 days of exposure. The researchers estimated that for every 10,000 individuals quarantined for 14 days, only about 101 would develop symptoms after being released from quarantine. These estimates imply that in 101 out of every 10,000 cases, people will develop symptoms after 14 days of active monitoring or quarantine.

Tracheocutaneous fistula (TCF) is a common complication that occurs after decannulation of a long-term tracheostomy. Numerous studies have demonstrated the incidence of TCF formation to positively correlate with an increasing duration of cannulation, specifically in children. Treatment of a persistent TCF in a child has been well described in the literature, with good response to local measures such as curettage and silver nitrate.

In line with other researchers in the field of burns’ care, we think that research investigating the long-term outcome of scars is largely lacking. As scarring is of the utmost importance to the patient, clinicians who treat burns must aim to find treatments that lead to a good end result. The aim of this study was to study scar outcomes at six and 12 months after injury.

Although many researches have explored the prognostic factors associated with length of hospital stay (LOS) of adult burn patients, fewer reports concerning pediatric burn patients have been conducted. The present study employed pediatric burn data to identify factors related to LOS and developed a novel model to assess the possibility of requiring surgery.
