Quantitative characterization of paediatric burn blister fluid

(2018) Quantitative characterization of paediatric burn blister fluid. PhD by Publication, Queensland University of Technology.

Description

Burn injury is a highly traumatic event for any infant or child. The degree of burn severity often determine the treatment operations and the extent of later scar formation, which may require long-term surgical remediation or skin grafting. This investigation quantitatively characterises the biochemical composition of burn blister fluid from paediatric patients using advanced analytical techniques. The correlation of the abundance of proteins and metabolic molecules were explored by statistical and bioinformatics methods. Thus, this study is able to provide a timely and objective measurement that may reflect the burn wound microenvironment and assist clinical diagnosis.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
