A histological analysis of burn wound progression

This thesis investigates the pathological mechanisms occurring in burn wounds responsible for burn wound progression. It utilises histological analyses of porcine burn wound models to identify multiple burn damage markers and their role in causing further tissue damage. A novel method of burn assessment was developed to measure burn intensity, advancing current burn assessment research. The examination of burn wounds at various times post-burn demonstrated that the blockage of blood vessels played a significant role in the progression and intensity of burn depth over time.
