In 1970s a Professor Xu Rong Xiang from china independently established a new theory upon burn physiology which he called the” burns regenerative therapy”. This innovation, which integrates moist-exposed burns treatment (MEBT) and moist-exposed burns ointment (MEBO). The therapeutic essence of MEBT/MEBO is to maintain the burns wound in an optimum physiologically moist environment through the use of a specially designed ointment – MEBO. Now the goal was to heal the burnt tissue rather than removal of it through surgical methods. Our interview with Dr Ganesh Pande gave us an idea about the advancement in burn treatment methodologies.

Hence burn treatment in our country is confined to some parts of the society and not in reach of the economically weaker sections. We lack infrastructure to accommodate all the treatment facilities. Taking about the methodologies of burn treatment (as per the information we got from the AFMC students) used today, it is clear that there has been a gradient of changes in the burn treatment methods starting from World War II. The treatment of burns as it is done now days in hospitals involves three major phases Assessment, Management of burns and Rehabilitation. Assessment involves analysing the burn characteristics such as its severity, type, depth and other such features. This phase helps the doctor understand the burn type and decide the treatment mode accordingly. The management phase involves aspects such as prevention of loss of body fluids (which usually accompanies burns), thermoregulation and prevention of infections, apart from the actual treatment. Dressing of wounds is very essential to prevent infections and fluid loss. …show more content…

It is not something which takes place following healing of skin grafts or discharge from hospital; instead it is a process that starts from day one of admission and continues for months and sometimes years after the initial event. Rehabilitation involves the physical, psychological and the social aspects of burn treatment. Burns can leave a patient with severely debilitating and deforming contractures, which can lead to significant disability when left untreated. The aims of burn rehabilitation are to minimise the adverse effects caused by the injury in terms of maintaining range of movement, minimising contracture development and impact of scarring, maximising functional ability, maximising psychological wellbeing, maximising social integration

The Fire Stick, utilised by Indigenous Australians has been an essential tool in the practice of traditional land management across Australia since their arrival 50,000+ thousand years ago. Fire Stick Farming (as it is now known) shaped the Australian landscape in ways that benefited both land and Aboriginal people. A practice that increases biodiversity of plant species, offered an abundance of food, both for Aboriginal people and wildlife such as the Kangaroo and Emu, and, in turn, increased populations of these species, which were also a desired food source. Additionally, the practice of burning both small and large areas of land ensured the prevention of larger uncontrollable fires which can devastate landscapes, as evidenced by the common

In Fahrenheit 451, a dystopian fiction novel written by Ray Bradbury, the concept of book burning is manifested to a great extent.

Van Gogh painted “Skull of a skeleton with a burning cigarette” in 1886, while still studying art. It is highly likely that the skeleton was painted while he was studying anatomy at the royal academy of fine arts. The painting itself is bold, displaying a slightly turned head and shoulders of a rather earthily coloured skeleton, gripping between its teeth what appears to be a burning cigarette. In stark contrast to the bright skeleton is the very dark background which is relatively plain, perhaps painted this way in order to make the skeleton the main article.
