    Title translation Electrical burns in adults.
    Abstract Introduction: Electrical burns account for up to 10% of burns admissions worldwide and are a potentially serious mechanism of injury. The aim of this study is to describe the epidemiology, presentation, management and complications of electrical burn injuries in adults.
    Material and methods: A retrospective study of all adult patients with electrical burns admitted to a tertiary burns centre.
    Results: Eighty-two cases were identified. The mean age was 40 ± 2 years, 92.7% were males. The most common activities causing the injuries were work (39%) and do-it yourself activities (32%). A low voltage (< 1,000 W) power source was involved in 78% of cases. The mean total body surface area involved was 3 ± 0.3%. The head, hands, and other upper extremities were the body parts most frequently injured. The mean hospital stay was 2 ± 1days.
    Conclusion: Electrical injury was an infrequent but potentially serious cause of injury in adults. Minor injuries were successfully managed non-operatively. Electrical burns in adults are mainly low voltage burns contracted by manual workers resulting in a flesh burn. Although rare, the loss of digits, neurological sequelae, cardiac arrhythmias and renal failure remain serious complications in a significant number of cases.

    Abstract The pathogenesis of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) involves a prominent innate immune response to SARS-CoV-2 infection, including inflammatory cytokines, chemokines, the complement system and acute phase proteins. This hyperinflammatory response predisposes patients to thromboembolic disease, acute lung injury, acute respiratory distress syndrome and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. In burn injuries, damaged tissues induce a local and systemic inflammatory response through pathways associated to COVID-19. As such, a COVID-19 positive patient sustaining burn injuries may have an amplified response to the burn insult due to their baseline hyperinflammatory and hypercoagulable states. Burn patients may have compromised physiological reserve to withstand the insult of surgical intervention before reaching clinical instability. The concurrent pathogenesis of COVID-19 and the inflammatory response in burn injury have serious implications on the management of burn patients.

    Abstract Toxic epidermal necrolysis syndrome (TENS) is a rare medical emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. At present, there is no agreement regarding specific treatments for this disease. The aim of this study is to determine the outcome of patients with TENS using a treatment protocol that did not include the use of intravenous immunoglobulin or systemic steroids. This is a retrospective study of all patients diagnosed with TENS admitted to a tertiary burns centre from 2015-2017. Twelve cases were identified with a mean age of 46±8 years. Mean total body surface area affected was 51±9%. The SCORTEN index was 3.4±0.3 (range 2-5) and predicted 3 deaths in this cohort. Overall mortality was 25%. This study casts no doubt on the prognostic validity of SCORTEN. No specific TENS treatment has been unequivocally proven to be effective.

    Abstract Background: Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection occurs through binding and internalization of the viral spike protein to the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor on the host cell membrane. Pathological changes are caused by damage and failure of vital organs that express high levels of ACE2, including the lungs, the heart and the kidneys. The aim of this study was to investigate ACE2 gene expression in the human male urogenital tract using a public database.
    Methods: A search of transcriptomic datasets from a database to investigate ACE2 gene expression in human urogenital tract tissue.
    Results: The gene expression profile demonstrated that ACE2 gene expression was higher in human kidney cortex and testis than human lung tissue. The gene expression profile demonstrated that ACE2 gene expression in the human bladder and prostate was comparable to human lung tissue.
    Conclusions: Male urogenital tissues are directly susceptible to SARS-CoV-2 infection through the expression of ACE2. Moreover, the SARS-Cov-2/ACE2 interaction may disturb the male genital and reproductive functions.

    Abstract Objective: Binding to angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor is a critical step for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARSCoV- 2) to mediate its entry into target cells. ACE2 is expressed in many human tissues, including the lungs. However, no research has demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 can infect human breast tissue. This study aimed to investigate

    Conclusion: Our knowledge about coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) is expanding rapidly. Clinicians are eager for vetted information regarding all aspects of this new illness, and this study demonstrates that the level of ACE2 expression in human breast tissue is higher than that in the lung tissue, a major target tissue affected by SARS-CoV-2 infection. This finding strongly suggests that SARS-CoV-2 infection causes breast pathology.
