Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Burn injuries, classified into varying degrees of severity, can result from a multitude of sources, such as thermal, chemical, electrical, or even radiation exposure. These injuries not only inflict physical harm but can also have profound psychological and social repercussions.
Effective burn rehabilitation is essential to address the multifaceted nature of these injuries. It involves a dedicated team of healthcare professionals, including burn surgeons, therapists, and psychologists, working together through different phases of rehabilitation. The goal is to help survivors regain physical function, manage emotional trauma, and successfully reintegrate into society. Advances in burn care, such as innovative skin graft alternatives and telemedicine, continue to enhance the prospects for burn survivors, but the challenges, including high healthcare costs and the enduring impact of burns, persist.
Therefore, this Special Issue aims to update the information on burn injuries and burn rehabilitation and provide new insights into innovative approaches for burn injuries and burn rehabilitation. This Special Issue welcomes all submissions related to the diagnosis and treatment of burn injuries and burn rehabilitation, including original research articles, reviews, and opinion papers.
