ingested corrosive substances produce different injuries, ranging from minor gastro esophageal burns to death, depending on the agent type, amount, concentration, and duration of substance exposure. the purpose of this study was to investigate the outcomes and different causes of mortality in patients ingesting caustic substances. in a prospective study, between april 1999 and january 2006, a t...

The corrosion definition is not constrained to alloy and metals, but rather the term, corrosion, can likewise be stretched out to earthenware production and other nonmetallic materials. Corrosion can prompt to problems significant in furthest fields for man-factory [1]. Corrosion gets to be distinctly a standout amongst the most difficult points for researchers and the society for building. Fro...

Introduction: Potassium Permanganate (KMnO4) is an uncommon cause of caustic ingestion in teenagers and adults; only case reports are found the recent literature. At Ngwelezana Hospital South Africa, KMnO4 not indication for admission. readily available as used most households recommended medicinal purposes by traditional health practitioners. Aim: To ascertain reasons ingestion, extent severit...

This paper was aimed to address the modeling and optimization of factors affecting the corrosive wear of low alloy and high carbon chromium steel balls. Response surface methodology, central composite design (CCD) was employed to assess the main and interactive effects of the parameters and also to model and minimize the corrosive wear of the steels. The second-order polynomial regression model...

conclusions results of this study indicate that selective brain cooling is an effective method of decreasing icp in rats; however, the deeper hypothermia caused a greater decrease in icp three hours after hypothermia induction. background experimental approaches have been promising with the use of therapeutic hypothermia after traumatic brain injury (tbi) whereas clinical data have not supporte...

Disaster researchers have debated the utility of distinguishing “natural” from “technological” catastrophes. We suggest that litigation serves as a source of chronic stress for victims of human-caused disasters involved in court deliberations for damages. Data from the Exxon Valdez oil spill are used to evaluate a social structural model of disaster impacts three and one-half years after the ev...

Introduction: Corrosive ingestion is the major cause of esophageal stricture in our country. Mitomycin–C, an anthracycline derived from Streptomyces caespitosus, has both antineoplastic and antiproliferative properties. Use of mitomycin–C have been well documented in various ophthalmologic procedures and laryngo-tracheal conditions where it has been shown that mitomycin–C inhibited fibroblast p...
