Burns are one of the most common household injuries, especially among children. The term “burn” means more than the burning sensation associated with this injury. Burns are characterized by severe skin damage that causes the affected skin cells to die.
Most people can recover from burns without serious health consequences, depending on the cause and degree of injury. More serious burns require immediate emergency medical care to prevent complications and death.
Significant advances in management have resulted in an increase in survival after burn injury in regions of the world with access to current medical and surgical resources. As a consequence, burn survivors with access to up-to-date care and who tend to be young adults have long-term sequelae that impair function and limit
return to preinjury function, including work and community
reintegration. Up to 1 million burns require treatment annually in North America, and over 10 times as many burns occur worldwide. In low-income and middle-income countries, mortality is significantly greater than in high-income countries.The future
of burn care will be challenged by the expense and complexity of treatment, a predicted shortage of qualified burn care providers, and an aging population.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Acetabularia Information For Class 9 .docxvaibhavrinwa19
Acetabularia acetabulum is a single-celled green alga that in its vegetative state is morphologically differentiated into a basal rhizoid and an axially elongated stalk, which bears whorls of branching hairs. The single diploid nucleus resides in the rhizoid.
2. Outline
•
•
•
•
What do superficial and deep burns look like?
What patients can be treated as inpatients?
Who will need skin grafting?
What is new in burn care?
3. Goals of Management
•
•
•
•
•
•
Patient safety
Patient comfort
Spontaneous healing without scars
Minimal cost to patient
Maintain patient independence
Early return to function
4. Initial Burn Evaluation
•
•
•
•
Burn size and depth
Mechanism
Time of injury
Circumstances of
accident
• Potential for inhalation
• Associated trauma
• Very young or elderly
• Other medical
conditions
• Tetanus status
• Substance abuse
• Living situation
• Work history
5. Burn Depth
• Old terminology
– First degree - never blisters
– Third degree - never heals
– Second degree - everything else
• Modern terminology
– Superficial - heals without hypertrophic scars
– Deep - prolonged healing, with marked scars
6. Skin Layers and

10. Scald Burn First Aid
• Immediately remove clothing
• Cool the burn, but don’t use ice
• Typically burns are superficial in
exposed areas, deeper where hot liquid
pools
• Immersion burns are of greatest concern
15. Full Thickness
Burns
• Burns are waxy white or hard and
leathery with no pain sensation
• Escharotomy is needed if third degree
burns are completely circumferential
• Small third degree burns - refer for
elective skin grafting
16. Skin Grafting Decisions
Superficial (first degree)
Partial thickness (second degree)
Superficial
Heal in
< 3 weeks
Deep
Full thickness (third degree)
Early
grafting
17. Estimating Burn Size
• Rule of the palm - the patient’s
palm with fingers equals one
percent TBSA
18. Estimating Burn Size
• Rule of 9’s – Head = 1 entire arm = 9%
– Ant. trunk or back = 18%
– Entire leg = 18%

20. Burn Admission - Physical Criteria
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Burns which require fluid resuscitation
Chemical burns like hydrofluoric acid
High voltage conduction injuries
Burns with associated trauma
Intoxication or clinical depression
Uncontrolled pain
Inhalation injury
21. Inhalation
Injury
• Occurs with closed space or clothing fires,
not flash injuries outdoors
• Hoarseness, stridor, carbonaceous sputum,
elevated CO, acute chest infiltrates, or
hypoxia suggest the diagnosis
• Burned nasal hair or facial hair is an
insignificant finding
22. Outpatient Selection Criteria
• Mechanism of injury
– Scalds
– Flash burns
– Small contact burns
• Consider outpatient referral
– Low voltage electrical injuries
– Some chemical burns
23. Electrical Burns
• Low voltage (<1,000 V)
– Minimal visible damage
– High incidence of PTSD and incapacitating
atypical pain of delayed onset
• High voltage (>1,000 V)
– Deep injury from muscle heating
– Often require fasciotomies
24. Chemical Burns
• Acids crosslink dermis
– Tannic acid makes leather from rawhide
• Alkalis cause liquefaction necrosis
• Wash at scene while removing all clothing
• Document agent, concentration, area
affected, initial temperature of liquid and
duration of contact
25. Chemical Burns
• Wash massively with water
• Check skin pH for acid/alkali injuries
• Topical calcium gel for HydroFloric burns
– No pain medication - marker for inactivation
– Persistent pain after 2 hours of topical calcium
- refer for intra-arterial calcium
– Large area or high concentration of HF
- calcium gluconate drip is life-saving
26. Time to Burn Mortality
First hour
First Day
Hypovolemic shock, neck swelling and occlusion of
airway
First week
Incineration, anoxia, carbon monoxide poisoning
Renal failure, inhalation injury
Delayed
Sepsis, extreme malnutrition, rare complications
28. Indications for Early Escharotomy
• Circumferential third degree burns of digit
or extremity
• Loss of pulse or capillary refill distal to
deep burn
• Third degree burns of the chest which limit
chest wall motion and ability to ventilate the
patient
29. How Do We Calculate the Fluid Volume?
• Obtain the weight of the patient
• Calculate the burn size as % total burn
surface area (%TBSA)
• For resuscitation only calculate the second
and third degree burns
• Generally resuscitation is not needed for
burns less than 15-20%TBSA
30. Parkland Resuscitation
Example:
4 ml x Wt (Kg) x %TBSA
100 Kg man, 40% TBSA
4 X 100 X 40 = 16,000 mL
total
1,000 mL / hr in 1st 8 hrs
500 mL / hr in next 16 hrs
31. How Much is Enough Fluid?
• Goal is to give best tissue
perfusion
• Urine flow of 0.5-1 ml/Kg/Hr
• Adequate blood pressure
–MAP >60 mmHg
• Decreasing tachycardia
32. How Long is Resuscitation Given?
• Goal is to reduce IV fluid rate
to maintenance rate
• Minimize fluid overload
• Maintain good vital signs and
urine flow
• Begin nutritional intake
34. Blister Management Options
• Leave intact - will limit motion, become
messy when leaking
• Completely debride - increased pain,
must not allow to desiccate
• Deflate blisters - minimal pain,
excellent ROM, limited quantity of
topical agent needed, remove at 2 weeks
35. Acute Pain Control
• Intravenous morphine sulfate
– Repeat doses until pain breaks
– May require large amount
• Cool burns for a limited time
• Dress wounds early to alleviate pain
39. Local Wound Care
• Wash daily, remove loose dead skin, and
apply occlusive dressings to unhealed areas
• For face burns, shave beard daily, apply
bacitracin to keep wounds moist
• Moderate fevers are expected
• Observe for redness beyond burned areas
• Apply hand lotion to pink healed skin
40. Traditional Topical Agents
• None - appropriate for first degree burns
• Silver sulfadiazine
Covered dressing
• Bacitractin
Open
42. Bacitracin
• Adheres even without occlusive
dressings - easy to use on face burns
• Cheap, readily available
• Prolonged use often causes a papular
rash
43. What’s New for Burns
•
•
•
•
•
Acticoat
Aquacel Ag
Mepelex Silver
MEBO
etc., etc.
44. Acticoat
• Rather expensive
• Two silver impregnated non-stick sheets
with center absorbent pad (like Telfa)
• Water releases elemental sliver
• Usually changed every three days
• Can dry out a wound unless moistened
t.i.d. or covered with an Unna dressing
45.
46.
47.
48. Aquacel-AG
•
•
•
•
•
Silver impregnated alginate pad
Rather expensive
Can be left for > 7 days
Cannot be applied over dead tissue
Contracts as it absorbs fluid, must
overlap wound 2 cm
• Inflexible, do not use across joints
49.
50. Mepelex Silver
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Silver impregnated open cell foam pad
Rather expensive
Can be left for > 7 days
Cannot be applied over dead tissue
Does not contract as it absorbs fluid
Flexible, easy to use across joints
Easily removed
51.
52. Temporary Skin Indications
• Biobrane or other synthetic materials
– Coverage of clean superficial wounds
– Superficial second degree burns
– Donor sites
53. Temporary Skin Indications
• Fresh or frozen cadaver skin
– Temporary wound closure in unstable or ill
burn patients or those with only small
donor sites
– Coverage of face burn bed before
autografting
– Protection for widely meshed autograft
56. The Perfect Autograft
•
•
•
•
•
Thick enough to be durable
Thin enough to heal without donor site scars
Donor near wound for good color match
Large enough to avoid seams or meshing
Small enough so donor minimally increases
burn size
57.
58. Autograft Challenges
• Graft too thin - not durable
• Graft too thick - poor donor healing and site donor
scars
• Distant donor - poor color match
• Meshed grafts - permanent mesh pattern
• Donor too large - increases total wound size
• Massive burns - donor skin inadequate to permit
patient survival
59. Future Options
• Cultured split thickness autografts
•
A living bilayer skin of cultured
fibroblasts and patient’s epidermis, a
cultured composite skin
60. Future Options
• Fetal epidermal stem cells
•
Researchers have used cells extracted
from amniotic fluid to make epithelial stem
cells
61. Future Options
• Adult stem cells
•
Advanced Cell Technology Inc. has
engineered stem cells from adult human
skin
62. Future Options
• Cultured composite skin
•
A living bilayer skin of cultured
fibroblasts and cultured autogenous
epidermis
63. Future Options
• Fetal epidermal stem cells
•
cultured fetal cells grown in collagen
sponges were applied to full thickness
wounds of newborns, which healed without
scars
64. Future Options
• Cultured fetal tissue constructs
•
cultured human mesenchymal stem cells
are grown in collagen sponges and applied
to full thickness wounds
•
The fetal cells engraft and close the
wounds with heterologous skin
