Evaluation of Minced Skin Grafts in the Treatment of Post Burn Leukoderma
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Post burn leukoderma had been characterizedby chalk white depigmented areas of variable sizes and shapes.Re-pigmentation of the hypopigmented lesion is still a bigchallenge, current treatment modalities for post burn leukodermainclude non-surgical techniques and many surgicalinterventions.Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of minced skin graftin the treatment of post burn leukoderma.Material and Methods: Twenty Patients (18 female & 2males) with post burn leukoderma were included. Patients'age ranging from 10 to 50 years. The minimum leukodermasurface area was 0.5% whereas the maximum was 3%. Patientswere assessmed one year post operatively using VancouverScar Scale and Patient Observer Scar Assessment Scale(POSAS).Results: Vancouver scar scale results were; Good pigmentationwere obtained in 75%, Hyperpigmentation in 20% andPartial pigmentation was in 5%. For POSAS The overallpatient opinion scale was 1 (which denote best skin colour)in 80%, score 2 in 10%, score 3 in 5%, score 4 in 5% ofpatients.Conclusion: Minced skin graft can be used safely for thetreatment of post burn leukoderma. It is a simple reliabletechnique that can be easily integrated in our daily practice,no need for special instruments or laboratory preparations,gives a satisfactory result for patients with minimal donormorbidity.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
