Effects of water depth, burn duration, and diesel fuel concentration on the relationship between recovery of marsh vegetation, soil temperature, and oil remediation during in-situ burning of oiled mesocosms were investigated. The water depth over the soil surface during in-situ burning was a major factor controlling recovery of the salt marsh grass, Spartina alterniflora. Ten centimeters of wat...

BACKGROUND Nail adhesives are widely available beauty products that are used in the cosmetic industry and households to attach false nails. Nail adhesive burns are uncommon, and it is crucial that healthcare providers and the public are aware of its potential to cause chemical burn. CASE PRESENTATION Case series of accidental burns secondary to cyanoacrylate nail glue treated at the Welsh Cen...

background and purpose: vitamin c is administered orally or intravenously for the treatment of burn wounds. however, effects of the topical application of vitamin c remain unclear. this study aimed to evaluate the effects of topical vitamin c solution on the necrotic tissue volume of second-degree burn wounds. methods: this clinical trial was conducted on 30 patients with second-degree burns ad...

PURPOSE To report the results of one 60 degrees conjunctival limbal autograft (CLAU) combined with amniotic membrane (AM) transplantation for an eye with total limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). METHODS One eye of a patient with chronic total LSCD and symblepharon caused by chemical burn was subjected to symblepharon lysis, removal of pannus from corneal surface, AM transplantation to cover ...

So far the study of chemical burns has lacked techniques to define penetration kinetics and the effects of decontamination within biological structures. In this study, we aim to demonstrate that high-resolution optical coherence tomography (HR-OCT) can close this gap. Rabbit corneas were exposed ex vivo to 2.5% hydrofluoric acid (HF) solution, and microstructural changes were monitored in the t...

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the clinical findings, treatment modalities and long-term prognosis of chemical and thermal burns of the cornea. MATERIALS AND METHODS Twenty-one patients (27 eyes) who were followed at two centers for corneal chemical and thermal burns between 2001 and 2013 were included. Eyes were grouped into four grades according to the severity of burn using Roper-Hall classificati...

Environmental monitoring of actinides and evaluation of the contamination source (nuclear weapons tests, nuclear power plant and nuclear reprocessing plant accidents, etc.) requires precise and accurate isotopic analysis of actinides, especially uranium and plutonium. Double-focusing sector-field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-SFMS) using a low-flow microconcentric nebulizer ...

AIM The aim of this study was to assess the effect of continuous and intermittent electrical transcutaneous nerve stimulation on the perception of pain in patients with burns of different types. MATERIALS AND METHODS A pilot study was conducted in 14 patients (age 30.9±7.5 years) with second- and third-degree burns of different types. The burn types included electrical, fire/flame, and chemic...

Burn is a global public health problem associated with significant morbidity and mortality, mostly in low- and middle-income countries. Southeast-Asian countries share a big burden of burn injuries, and Nepal is not an exception. We performed a systemic review to examine the epidemiological characteristics of burn injures in Nepal. Relevant epidemiological studies were identified through system...
