    A Case of Falling Into an Acid Tank From Height After High-Voltage Electrocution
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2024-12) Burak Özkan; Abdullah Kızmaz; Uğur Bak; Khalid Zeynalov; Süleyman Savran; Abbas Albayati; Çağrİ A. Uysal; Mehmet Haberal
    In this case report, we present the management of a dramatic and rare combination of injuries: high-voltage electrical injury, chemical burn, and open tibial and calcaneal fractures resulting from a fall from height. The patient underwent early fasciotomies. After treatments administered by a multidisciplinary team consisting of plastic surgeons, general surgeons, orthopedic specialists, anesthesiologists, and physiotherapists, the patient was discharged without extremity loss after a 135-day hospital stay. This case report discusses the importance of early fasciotomy and debridement in management of extensive burns and fall-related injuries, the potential for extended hospitalization for reconstruction, and the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach.

    A Case of Progressive Mortal Thrombosis: Phlegmasia Cerulea Dolens
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2023-03) Khalid Zeynalov; Burak Ozkan; Tankut Akay; A. Cagri Uysal; Mehmet Haberal
    ABSTRACT Phlegmasia cerulea dolens is a very rare set of conditions associated with acute, massive venous thromboembolism. Medical and surgical options can be combined in treatment. Patients may experience sudden onset and severe leg pain, edema, cyanosis, compartment syndrome, and post-venous gangrene amputation and death. Medical and surgical treatments can be combined in treatment. Anticoagulants, thrombectomy, percutaneous procedures and amputations are among the treatment options. We present a 60-year-old female patient with a diagnosis of diabetes mellitus with swelling, pain, and discoloration in the left lower extremity who died due to progressive venous thrombosis despite various treatment modalities. Wound debridement and thrombectomy were performed. On day 10 of hospitalization, the patient was intubated to treat resistant low saturation. Despite the interventions, the patient died on day 10 of hospitalization due to cardiopulmonary arrest. Early diagnosis and treatment are vitally important. As in the case we presented, sometimes patients die as a result of rapid clinical progression and side effects, despite the use of different medical and surgical treatments.

    Beyond Breastfeeding:Prolactin's Powers in Burn Wounds
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2023-03) Arnaldo Acosta; Matthew Araujo; Santiago J. Santelis
    ABSTRACT Burn injuries represent a significant health care challenge worldwide that requires effective interventions to optimize patient outcomes. Prolactin, a versatile hormone traditionally associated with lactation, has emerged as a promising factor with potential implications beyond its classical role. In this review article, we aim to synthesize and analyze the existing literature on the role of prolactin in burn injuries, focusing on its impact on inflammation, immune response, tissue repair, and potential neuroprotective effects. By exploring the mechanisms underlying prolactin's actions, this article provides insights into the therapeutic potential of prolactin in burn injury management.

    Bioelectrical Impedance Analysis: Advanced Technique To Obtain Nutritional Risk in a Patient With Major Burns
    (Başkent Üniversitesi, 2022-09) Pratibha Sharma; Rajpal Singh; Shree Prakash Jaiswal; Sunil Chandiwal
    ABSTRACT Patients with major burns are similar to critically ill patients; knowing their premorbid nutritional status at the time of hospitalization is important for further interventions. Bioelectrical impedance analysis is an advanced technique that helps to assess the detailed information on body composition, including basal metabolic rate, fat percentage, muscle mass, total body protein, bone health, segmental distribution of muscles and fat, and extra- and intracellular water. Patients with burns and high percentage of total burn surface area are known to be in a hypermetabolic state; a prolonged period of hypermetabolism with insufficient nutrient supply can lead to catabolism and cachexia. Finding the patient's nutritional status at the beginning of hospitalization helps to prevent further complications and to support faster recovery. Here, we present a nutritional risk analysis by using bioelectrical impedance in a patient with catabolic symptoms and major burns for management of nutrition with successful outcome.
