Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of burns. The journal
focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of the injury, the epidemiology of such
injuries and all aspects of treatment including development of new techniques and technologies and verification of existing ones. Regular
features include clinical and scientific papers, state of the art reviews and descriptions of burn-care in practice.
Topics covered
by Burns include: the effects of smoke on man and animals, their tissues and cells; the responses to and treatment of patients
and animals with chemical injuries to the skin; the biological and clinical effects of cold injuries; surgical techniques which are,
or may be relevant to the treatment of burned patients during the acute or reconstructive phase following injury; well controlled laboratory
studies of the effectiveness of anti-microbial agents on infection and new materials on scarring and healing; inflammatory responses
to injury, effectiveness of related agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury;
experimental studies of burns and the outcome of burn wound healing; regenerative medicine concerning the skin.
Burns seeks
to publish suitable material submitted by all professions involved in the care, treatment and prevention of burn injuries.
