About The International Society for Burn Injuries

The International Society for Burn Injuries (ISBI) was set up in Edinburgh in 1965 with the goal of reducing the incidence of Burns, as well as improving patient care, especially in developing countries.

Since the Society was founded, the total medical care of burn patients has improved considerably. This is not only because medical science has improved but also because there is also a better understanding of the need for a team of professionals of different specialties such as surgeons, anaesthetists, bacteriologists, critical care physicians, nurses, dieticians, physiotherapists, etc. Each and every one of these specialists plays a very important role. Our society acknowledges the importance of all of these specialists in burn care and has intelligently admitted those professionals as members since its foundation. We must mention there are very few, in fact almost no other medical societies like ours which bring together such a number of different specialists, including nurses. One of the main purposes and aims of our society is to disseminate knowledge and to stimulate prevention in the field of burns.

About Burns

Burns aims to foster the exchange of information among all engaged in preventing and treating the effects of thermal injury. The journal focuses on clinical, scientific and social aspects of these injuries and covers the prevention of thermal injury, the epidemiology of such injuries and all aspects of treatment. Regular features include clinical and scientific papers; state of the art reviews; case reports and descriptions of burn-care in practice; listings of current relevant literature and reviews of selected articles.

Topics covered by Burns include: the effects of fire 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 appropriate micro-organisms; the body's responses to inflammatory or anti-inflammatory agents and other compounds used to modify the physiological and cellular responses to the injury; experimental studies of burn injury and the outcomes of burn wound healing.
