Mafenide
Mafenide (INN; usually as mafenide acetate, trade name Sulfamylon) is a sulfonamide-type medication used as an antibiotic. It was approved by the FDA in 1948.
Uses
Mafenide is used to treat severe burns. It is used topically as an adjunctive therapy for second- and third-degree burns. It is bacteriostatic against many gram-positive and gram-negative organisms, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Some sources state that mafenide is more appropriate for non-facial burns, while chloramphenicol/prednisolone or bacitracin are more appropriate for facial burns.
Mechanism of action
Mafenide works by reducing the bacterial population present in the avascular tissues of burns and permits spontaneous healing of deep partial-thickness burns.
Adverse reactions
Adverse reactions can include superinfection, pain or burning upon application, rash, pruritus, tachypnea, or hyperventilation. Mafenide is metabolized to a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor, which could potentially result in metabolic acidosis.

Movie Night
by: Lemon DemonIt's movie movie movie night, down at the theater,
Let's get some soda, I'd like a liter.
I dun- I dun- I dunno what we should see,
The Osbournes Movie or Scooby Doo 3?
Let's see... Let's see...
Let's just see any old thing.
I like to throw popcorn at people's heads.
So, let's just see any old thing.
There's lotsa lotsa lotsa films making lotsa revenue,
“The Sixth Sense 2” got a pretty good review.
Looking at the posters, and feeling kinda manic,
I wanna see the preview for “Return of Titanic”.
Let's see... Let's see...
Let's just see any old thing.
I like to throw popcorn at people's heads.
So, let's just see any old thing.
Big budget action movies for guys,
Chick flicks and dramadies for the ladies.
Hollywood's rich and getting richer,
But movies were better in the 80s.
So what, what, what do we do with our money?
Should we see something scary?
Should we see something funny?
We could see Adam Sandler team up with Jackie Chan,
But there is no way that I will pay
For any film that does not cater
To my miniscule attention span.
So, let's just see any old thing.
