Randomized Controlled Trial
Use of a topical mix of lidocaine and prilocaine during split-thickness skin graft harvest improves postoperative recovery-A prospective randomized controlled trial.
To provide evidence of efficacy and postoperative benefit of topical anesthesia (TA) for harvesting split-thickness skin graft (STSG) in an Asian population. ⋯ Harvesting STSG under TA with EMLA is an effective and efficient approach for most Asian patients with less early postoperative donor site pain and fewer adverse effects.

Randomized Controlled Trial
Biosynthetic cellulose compared to porcine xenograft in the treatment of partial-thickness burns: A randomised clinical trial.
The aim was to compare two dressing treatments for partial-thickness burns: biosynthetic cellulose dressing (BsC) (Epiprotect® S2Medical AB, Linköping, Sweden) and porcine xenograft (EZ Derm®, Mölnlycke Health Care, Gothenburg, Sweden). ⋯ The results showed the dressings performed similarly when used in adults with burns evaluated as partial thickness.

The effect of training program based on health belief model on burn prevention knowledge in mothers of children aged to 1-3 years: A randomized controlled.
One of the effective models in health education is the health belief model that considers a person's behavior as a under the influence of knowledge and attitude. In the present study, we investigated the efficacy of a training program based on the health belief model in burn prevention knowledge in mothers of children aged between 1 and 3 years old. ⋯ The health belief model was shown to have a good effect on educating mothers regarding child burn's prevention. So, due to this reason, it is recommended to use this model for burn's prevention training programs.

The use of propranolol in adult burn patients: Safety and outcome influence.
This study investigated safety and effect of propranolol on adult patients with severe burn. ⋯ For severely burned adults, propranolol was safe and effective on reducing energy expenditure, limited hepatomegaly, and accelerated partial burn wound and donor site closure, but does not affect length of stay in ICU, hospitalization, complication ormortality rate.
