Tap water scald prevention: it's time for a worldwide effort.

Rate of pediatric tap water scald injuries in eastern Ontario.

BACKGROUND Tap water scalds can be devastating and are entirely preventable. This topic has received notable attention in Canada in recent years, with a national campaign in 2001 directed at parents recommending that they lower the water temperature of their home water heater. This campaign has been evaluated and reported as a successful population-based intervention. OBJECTIVES The present s...

Physically-based Animation of Water Pollutant Diffusion

We present a physically-based animation method for simulating the diffusion of water pollutant in this paper. Our method allows animating the dynamic evolution of biological pollutants (e.g., water hyacinth, algae) on largescale water surface effectively. To enable the simulation of such a phenomenon in large scale virtual environment, we simplify the problem by considering the water pollutants...

Burn and scald injuries.

Burns are one of the most harmful physical and psychological traumas. Infection is the major cause of morbidity and mortality in burns. Infections acquired from hospital or from the patient's own endogenous flora have a significant prevalence after burns. Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Staphylococcus aureus are the most frequent colonizing agents whereas group A beta-haemolytic streptococci are the...
