A rare but life−threatening complication of self− bougienage: iatrogenic esophageal foreign body

for benign esophageal stricture for pa− tients in whom surgery is not feasible [1]. Repeated bougienage by the patients themselves, “self−dilation,” has been proven safe and effective [2]. The major complication of bougienage is esophageal perforation, although the incidence is only 0.04 %±0.2 % [3]. Case. A 74−year−old man, diagnosed as achalasia 7 years ago, underwent routine Maloney esophage...

A case of squamous cell carcinoma of the skin subsequent to a subcutaneous foreign body

Squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the skin is one of the mostcommon non melanoma skin cancers (NMSC), along withbasal cell carcinoma (BCC). Besides ultraviolet radiation,exposure to industrial agents, ionizing radiation, and areas ofchronic inflammation are associated with the development ofSCC. Squamous cell carcinoma may also be associated withforeign bodies. We report a rare case of cutaneous...

Removal of a Non-magnetic Foreign Body from the Vitreous.

War Injuries of the Eye

In these days of war, both from the battle areas and from accidents in war industries, injuries to the eye are common. Many of these injuries are perforating in nature ; a foreign body has entered some part of the globe and may be lodged inside or outside the eyeball. In war injuries, the foreign bodies include splinters from glass, bombs, shells, handgrenades and booby-traps, whereas in indust...

Mathematical Modeling of Micropolar Blood Flow in a Stenosed Artery Under the Body Acceleration and Magnetic Field

Blood flow is modeled as non-Newtonian micropolar fluid. The non-linear governing equations of continuum and momentum in the cylindrical coordinate are being discretized using a finite difference approach and have been solved iteratively ,through Crank-Nicolson method. The blood velocity distribution, volumetric flow rate and Resistance to blood flow at the stenosis throat are computed for vari...
