This paper is a review of the hand injuries occurring in the Yorkshire Wool Industry and referred to the Regional Plastic Surgery Unit for skin replacement, or other treatment, during the years 1965–1984. A total of forty-one cases has been seen, and although the number employed in the industry has fallen about fivefold, the injuries referred yearly have remained approximately constant. An analysis of the types of injury has been made and the improvement in the results is shown with changes in the method of acute treatment. The case for early referral, active initial treatment and early mobilisation is very obvious from the results.

Abstract Aims To outline the demographic profile and outcome of hand injuries in a tertiary institution Methods This study was done over a period of 4 years in a tertiary institution in patients presenting with open hand injuries and management protocols will be discussed based on presentation in emergency and opd of burn and plastic surgery. Results Majority of patients were labourers or skilled artisans who sustained injury during operation of machines and right hand was predominantly affected. Maximum injuries occurred in night time. Traumatic amputations were commonly seen along with involvement of thumb in some patients. Various reconstructive options will be discussed based on the involvement of hand injury. Conclusion Proper knowledge of mechanism of injury can guide in the management of patients. Exposure to machines and hazard prevention should be taught in factory establishments or threshers for reducing this menace.

This retrospective study reviews the demographics, morphology and management of paediatric hand fractures. Notes of all children with hand injuries attending a plastic surgery paediatric trauma clinic over a one-year period were reviewed. Non-bony injuries were excluded. A total of 303 fractures in 283 patients were included. Fracture incidence rose after the age of seven, peaking at 14 years of age; 76% of fractures occurred in males. Sporting injuries accounted for 47% of fractures. Physeal fractures were present in 39% of cases. Open fractures accounted for only 4% of all fractures. Management was primarily conservative. Only 5% of cases required surgical fixation; 6% of patients experienced complications.

Abstract Background Deep sternal wound infections (DSWI) following median sternotomy are initially treated by the cardiothoracic surgeons and are referred to a plastic surgical unit late in the course of time. Methods This is a retrospective review done in a tertiary care teaching institute from January 2005 to June 2018 and the data of 72 patients who had DSWI out of 4,214 patients who underwent median sternotomy for coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) was collected with respect to the duration between CABG and presentation of DSWI as well as time of referral to a plastic surgery unit. We defined early referral as < or equal to 15 days from presentation and late referral as > 15 days. Both groups were compared with respect to multiple parameters as well as early and late postoperative course, postoperative complications, and mortality. Results The early group had 33 patients, while the late group had 39 patients. The number of procedures done by the cardiothoracic team before referral to the plastic surgery unit is significant (p = 0.002). The average duration from the presentation of DSWI to definitive surgery was found to be 16.58 days in the early group and 89.36 days in the late group. The rest of the variables that were compared in both the groups did not have significant differences. Conclusion There is no statistical difference between early and late referral to plastic surgery in terms of mortality and morbidity. Yet, early referrals could lead to highly significant reduction in total duration of hospital stay, wound healing, and costs. Early referral of post-CABG DSWIs to Plastic surgeons by the cardiothoracic surgeons is highly recommended.

Feature extraction is a key step in animal fiber microscopic images recognition that plays an important role in the wool industry and textile industry. To improve the accuracy of wool and cashmere microscopic images classification, a hybrid model based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) and Random Forest (RF) is proposed for automatic feature extraction and classification of animal fiber microscopic images. First, use CNN to learn the representative high-level features from animal fiber images, then add dropout layers to avoid over-fitting. And the backward propagation algorithm are used to optimize the CNN structure. Random forest, which is robust and has strong generalization ability, is introduced for the classification of animal fiber microscopic images to obtain the final results. The study shows that, the proposed method has better generalization performance and higher classification accuracy than other classification methods.

Whiplash Associated Disorder

The article looks at how for severe trauma, the outcome of treatment depends on the initial medical care. This has now also been accepted for whiplash associated disorders, underlining the importance of a proper initial assessment. Once major injury has been excluded and the diagnosis of whiplash associated disorder has been established, the initial treatment of whiplash in the emergency room can be started. The four key points to remember are described, including reassuring the patient about evolution, no soft collar, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and early mobilisation.
