AbstractObjective: The aim of present statistical study resumption to appear extent prevalence of burn in children under 15 years in Mosul city.Methodology: The sample was collecting from review the register for burn unit in AL-Jaumhory Teaching Hospital through 2 years (2009, 2010). It registry (580) burn case. Where (163) male, and (162) female with ages ranged between (1 - 15) years old for period from 1/11/2009 to 15/12/2010.Results: Resulting appearance high burn percentage at patient aged between (1-5) years, its percentage were (69%), while in male is more than female with percentage (53%). Scalding the main causes of burn with percentage (67%), while flame with percentage (32%). Lower limbs more than another part of the body were (32%), while duration of stay in burn unit (1 – 5) day were (59%). Death of children of them (10%). Recommendation: The study recommended that health education in schools, as a compulsory subject, concerning burn.

Aim:The aim ofpresent descriptive study resumption to appear extent prevalence of burn in female in Mosul city.Methodology: The sample was collecting from review the register for burn unit in AL-Jaumhory Teaching Hospital during one year (2012). It registry (244) burn case. Where (115) male, and (129) female with ages ranged between (1 - 80) years old for period from(1st January 2012 to 31st December 2012). Data was analyzedthrough inferential statistical approach were used. This approach is employed through (Percentage, Mean and Standard deviation).Results:The present study found high burn percentage at patient aged between (21 – 30) year (34%), its percentage were (21-30%. Flame the main causes of burn with percentage (53%), while scald with percentage (46%). Face and chest more than another part of the body were (33% and 23) respectively ,the duration of staying in burn unit (1 – 5) day were (31%). Death of children from the femaleincluding (21%).Conclusion: The study showed that the maximum incidence of burn injury seen in females. Most of the patient were in the agegroup of (21-30)years. Most burns were domestic, in low socio-economic class and in house – wives.Most of the burn injury caused by flam.Recommendation:The study recommended guidance to community to preventable, educational programs might to reduce the incidence of burn injury. Guidance to family to put directories of gas service station should be maintain at home so as to ensure immediate repair of any fault in the cooking appliances.

A total of (170) Skin swabs were taken after 72 and 144 hours of burn injury and (45) blood specimens for culture from (85) patients with burn size (10-90%). This study showed that cases of infection are increased with the increasing of stay period in Hospital and burn size. It has been found that Gram negative bacteria are more frequent than Gram positive type and yeast. Pseudomonas aeruginosa is the most frequent species among microbial isolates. Besides, it has been shown through this study that the antibiotics: Ciprofloxacin, Amikacin, Norfloxacin, and Imipenem are the most influential on Gram negative bacterial isolates and Chloramphenicol, Vangomycin and Nitrofurantion on Gram positive bacterial isolates. Furthermore, Amphotericin B and Clotrimazole on yeast.

The objective of the study was to test the hypothesis that human umbilical cord blood crude serum applied topically may promote an early healing for animal models with burn injury. Human umbilical cord serum HUCS was collected and screened for transmitted diseases such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV. The HUCS was subjected to microbial testing to demonstrate the presence or absence of viable contaminating microorganisms. Mice (no=45) and rabbits (n=16) were scalded by boiling water then treated with HUCS in comparison to untreated animals. Another group of rabbits (n=24) were subjected to hot water (70°C) and 1N NaOH and treated with HUCS in comparison to cetrimide 0.5% cream treated group and control group (without treatment). Topical application of HUCS promoted the healing process; complete healing was seen after 10 days in the mice group and 7 days in the rabbit group. Cetrimide group applied to the second rabbit group showed slow healing and needed 10 days for hair regrowth. Control group in both mice and the two rabbits’ group, showed very slow response and the burn area diameter remained the same for over 10 days, and no hair regrowth was observed after 10 days. In conclusion the results of the current study indicated that HUCS is a promising therapy for healing of burns caused by boiling water alone or by alkali with hot water. More clinical trials are needed to explore the long-term effects after UCS use and incorporation of HUCS in suitable dosage form.
