Fracture Blisters After Primary Total Knee Arthroplasty.

Fracture blisters are tense vesicles that arise on markedly swollen skin overlying traumatized soft tissue. While this relatively uncommon complication has been well described in the trauma literature, this article reports for the first time a case of fracture blisters after primary total knee arthroplasty. The fracture blisters developed within 36 hours of surgery and were associated with prof...

Orange and Sunlight: A Recipe for Blisters

Interface-area-to-volume ratio of interstitial fluid in humans determined by pharmacokinetic analysis of netilmicin in small and large skin blisters.

Human pharmacokinetics of netilmicin during multiple dosing were studied in serum and in the fluid of skin blisters with two different ratios of interface area to fluid volume. The kinetics in the blisters followed the serum concentration-time curve with a delay but with a similar elimination half-life of 2.4 h. The kinetics in the 40-microliters blisters followed closely the theoretically calc...

Investigation of Surface Morphology of 6H-SiC Irradiated with He+ and H2+ Ions

Light ion implantation is one of the important procedures of smart cut for SiC-based semiconductor fabrication. This work investigated the surface morphologies and microstructures of single crystal 6H-SiC irradiated by one or both of H₂⁺ and He⁺ ions at room temperature and then annealed at specific temperatures. Blisters evolved from the coalescence of H nanocracks were formed in the H₂⁺ and H...

Coma Blisters in the Setting of Quetiapine Overdose: Case Report and Review of Literature

Background: Skin lesions and blistering in the overdose patient, most notably associated with barbiturate overdoses, are commonly referred to as coma blisters, ‘barb blisters’, or ‘barb burns’. We present a patient who was noted to have skin lesions including bullae and blistering following a prolonged coma after quetiapine overdose. Case report: A 27 year old male presented to our institution ...
