Negative g-Force Ocular Trauma Caused by a Rapidly Spinning Carousel
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a case of a 10-year-old boy who presented with bilateral diffuse subconjunctival hemorrhages after spinning rapidly on a carousel attached to an electrical scooter. We present his clinical course and discuss the physics and pathophysiology of this unique mechanism of ocular trauma.

Incidental Ocular Trauma by Pencil and Pen in Children
Purpose: To determine features of eye trauma associated with self-trauma by pens and pencils among children. Methods: Thirty-six children suffering from self-inflicted eye trauma with pens or pencils were included in this prospective cross-sectional study. Results: The age range of the participants was 2-14 years with an average of 5.6 years and a standard deviation of 2.7, with a male: female ...
متن کاملتاثیر پروپوفول در جلوگیری از افزایش فشار چشم بدنبال تزریق سوکسینیل کولین و لوله گذاری نای
Background and purpose: Penetrating eye injury is one of the most frequent trauma admitted in ophtalmological emergency rooms. The major concern when treating such a trauma is increased intra-ocular pressure and vitreous loss as a side effect of Succinylcholine and endotracheal intubation with no appropriate substitute drug available yet. This study is aimed to determine whether the use of...
متن کاملUse of centrifugal force in the study of xylem cavitation
Two methods were evaluated for using centrifugal force to measure the occurrence of cavitation as a function of negative pressures in xylem. The general protocol was to measure the hydraulic conductivity of xylem segments (stem or root pieces) before and after centring them on a centrifuge rotor and spinning them about their long axis to generate negative xylem pressure. The percentage decrease...
متن کاملFabrication of Biodegradable PCL Particles as well as PA66 Nanofibers via Air-Sealed Centrifuge Electrospinning (ASCES)
This study presents a method for fabrication of ultrafine polymeric nanofibers as well as nano/micro particles utilizing centrifugal and electrostatic forces simultaneously. To reduce the diameter and variety of nanofibers produced from solid state polymerized PA66, a unique electrocentrifuge spinning device was utilized with a rotating nozzle and collector, while the fabrication process (spinn...
متن کاملTEM INVESTIGATION OF RAPIDLY SOLIDIFIED NDFEB HARD MAGNETIC MATERIAL
The surface condition and microstructure of near stoichiometric (Fe823Ndll.8B5.9) Nd-Fe-B alloy ribbons and the effect of melt spinning parameters were investigated using optical, scanning and transmission electron microscopes (SEM, TEM). The formation of gas pockets on the roll surface of the ribbons during melt spinning can prevent heat transform and result in local coarse grains. The local t...
