            Poster Round Objectives:

1. Discuss the results of cutting-edge scientific clinical management, basic research, and other burn issues.
2. Identify opportunities to improve care of the burn injured patient.

CCHHS and Rush University researchers in attendance were Dr. Stathis Poulakidas, Dr. Thomas Xu, and selected members of the Cook County Burn Team.  Two abstracts were submitted in the Wounds Category:
