چکیده
The case is reported of a man shot with a distress flare from a range of about 3 m. The flare caused a large cavity deep in the pectoral muscles. There should be a high index of suspicion about the extent of the injury in all types of penetrating trauma.

High-nitrogen-based pyrotechnics: longer- and brighter-burning, perchlorate-free, red-light illuminants for military and civilian applications.
The full-up prototype testing of perchlorate-free, hand-held, signal illuminants for the US Army's M126A1 red star parachute hand-held signal is described. Compared to the perchlorate-containing control, the disclosed illuminants yielded excellent stabilities toward various ignition stimuli while offering superior pyrotechnic performance. Militarily, the illuminants provided further evidence th...
متن کاملEnvironmentally Benign Pyrotechnic Delays
Pyrotechnic delays are used in commercial and military items requiring a time delay between two energetic events. For example, US Army hand-held signals (HHS) use a delay element to properly sequence the expulsion of illuminating rounds at the rockets’ apex. Many military delay formulations contain barium, lead, chromates, and perchlorates. The US Army is reformulating pyrotechnic items to remo...

Preaxial polydactyly is the most common duplication pattern in white and Asian populations (1). It is a congenital anomaly with a wide range of manifestations .Current classification do not have the capacity to classify all different types of radial polydactyly. We describe here a very rare and unusual case of bilateral preaxial polydactyly (triplication) in a woman and report the operations re...
