The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of the REPRISE care bundle (CB) model for pressure ulcer (PU) prevention in intensive care patients and to determine the impact of the training provided to nurses on their knowledge base and attitudes. This study has an experimental design. The study was conducted in the anaesthesia and resuscitation intensive care unit on a total of 72 patients. The prevalence of PU was compared between the control group and the REPRISE-CB group. For the nurses, 50 nurses working in the ICU were included in the study. The nurses' knowledge and attitudes towards PU were compared before and after the training. The data were analysed using a statistical program. The incidence of IW was significantly lower in the intervention group (13.9%) compared to the control group (38.9%) (p < 0.05). The study showed that oedema, low albumin levels, low mean blood pressure and low Braden Scale scores were significant risk factors for the development of PU. In addition, the training provided to nurses was found to significantly improve their knowledge and attitudes (p < 0.05). It was concluded that REPRISE-CB was effective in the prevention of PU and that nurses' knowledge increased with training.

Severe burns lead to malformations and higher mortality and have long-term social consequences. We aimed to analyse the epidemiologic characteristics and clinical outcomes of severe burn patients hospitalized in a major burn centre in Eastern China. This study included severe burns patients hospitalized in our hospital from 2017 to 2022. We extracted all data from electronic medical records for retrospective analysis. Burn scoring systems were calculated for all patients. The median age of the patients was 49.00 years, with 62.13% of them aged between 30 and 59 years. Of the 375 adult patients, 256 were male and 119 were female. The major cause of burns was flame (46.1%), followed by explosion (35.2%). The median total body surface area was 40%. Sixty-three percent of patients suffered an inhalation injury and 125 patients (33.3%) developed complications during hospitalization. The average mortality was 5.3%. Higher mortality rates are associated with advanced age, flame burns, larger full-thickness burns area and total body surface area, inhalation injuries and combined burn complications. Severe burns often occur in middle-aged men. Governments and companies need to improve the safety of living and working environments. It is essential to develop treatment strategies based on risk factors for burn deaths and improve the quality of medical care.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a severe skin reaction caused by extensive epidermal and mucosal necrosis. This clinical phenomenon is known as an acute syndrome of apoptotic pan-epidermolysis (ASAP). The ASAP phenomenon is observed in conditions that mimic TEN, highlighting the challenge in distinguishing these conditions. While TEN is a well-recognized entity, distinguishing it from other TEN-like conditions presents significant diagnostic and treatment challenges. These conditions include drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), generalized bullous fixed drug eruption (GBFDE), acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), TEN-like methotrexate toxicity, mustard gas toxicity, pseudoporphyria, mycoplasma-induced rash and mucositis (MIRM), multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C), graft versus host disease (GVHD), and acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus. This review explores these ten separate entities and debates their clinical features, pathophysiology, diagnosis and management.
