Abstract
Previous studies have indicated an increased susceptibility to pneumonia in burn injury patients [1-5]. Despite numerous advances in understanding it, its incidence is still quite high and represents a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in this population. In the last few years numerous articles have been published on diagnosis, treatment and prevention. In this review, we have selected those articles that could potentially lead to changes in the clinical practice and handling of pneumonia in adult patients with burn injuries.

Exposure to PM2.5 components is associated with respiratory diseases
Through continuous research on the relationship between risk factors and health, it has been found that air pollution, especially atmospheric particulate matter pollution, has become one of the main sources of global disease burden. From 1990 to 2022, the concentration of atmospheric particulate matter pollution has increased by more than ...read more
