Burn medicine

A burn from hot liquid or steam

In burn medicine, a scald is a thermal injury to the skin caused by hot liquid or steam rather than flame, and it is the most common burn mechanism in young children, where hot drinks and tap water are frequent sources. Ramanathan, Ekpenyong, and Stevenson's 1994 Scald burns in children caused by hot drinks examined how the vessel involved shapes the injury. The referent is a tissue burn, unrelated to a plant disease or a fruit-storage disorder beyond the meaning of heat damage, though in plumbing the same hazard drives anti-scald tempering of hot-water systems.[1]

Unit
Depth and body-surface area of a moist-heat skin burn
Recovery means
Superficial scalds heal with wound care; deeper scalds may need grafting and leave scarring
Measured by
Assessed by burn depth, total body surface area involved, and the temperature and contact time of the liquid

Postharvest science

Skin browning on stored apples and pears

In postharvest science, superficial scald is a physiological storage disorder of apples and pears in which patches of skin brown and die after weeks in cold storage, lowering market value, and it is linked to the oxidation of α-farnesene to conjugated trienes in the peel. Barden and Bramlage's 1994 study related peel antioxidants and these oxidation products to scald development after storage. The referent is a non-infectious browning disorder of fruit, distinct from a skin burn or an infectious crop disease.[2]

Unit
Incidence and severity of skin browning on stored fruit
Recovery means
Reduced by controlled-atmosphere storage and antioxidant treatment of the peel; affected tissue does not recover
Measured by
Scored by the area and severity of browning, alongside peel α-farnesene and conjugated-triene levels

Plant pathology

An infectious leaf disease of crops

In plant pathology, leaf scald is an infectious disease in which a pathogen bleaches, blights, and kills leaf tissue in a scorched-looking pattern; in barley it is caused by the fungus Rhynchosporium secalis and reduces yield. Wallwork and Grcic's 2011 study used differential pathogen isolates to identify host resistance to barley leaf scald. The referent is a crop disease driven by a living pathogen, unlike a skin burn or a non-infectious fruit disorder that borrow the same scorched-appearance word.[3]

Unit
Severity and spread of pathogen-induced leaf lesions
Recovery means
Managed by resistant cultivars, fungicides, and crop rotation; infected tissue is not restored
Measured by
Rated by lesion coverage and disease severity on inoculated differential host lines
