Answer 1

An uncontrolled inflammatory response can trigger MODS.

MODS is the progressive dysfunction of two or more organ systems, resulting from uncontrolled inflammatory response, and may occur during sepsis. However, these two terms are not synonymous. The mortality rate for MODS is high.

Answer 2

Superficial partial-thickness

Superficial partial-thickness burns include erythema, blisters, and pain. First-degree burns involve only the epidermis without injury to the underlying dermal or subcutaneous tissues. Deep partial-thickness burns involve the entire dermis, sparing skin appendages such as hair, follicles, and sweat glands. Third-degree burns are full-thickness burns that involve the destruction of the entire epidermis, dermis, and often the underlying tissue.
