Four children who incurred perianal injuries as a result of a sexual assault were followed on a longitudinal basis to document the anatomical changes that ensued. The subjects, whose ages ranged from 4 to 8 years, were followed from 1 week to 14 months. They were examined in both supine and prone knee-chest positions and a 35-mm camera mounted on a colposcope was used to record their injuries. At the time of the initial examination, there were a variety of findings including erythema of the tissues, edema of the skin folds, localized venous engorgement, dilation of the external anal sphincter, and lacerations of different depths. Superficial lacerations reepithelized within 1 to 11 days. The second-degree wounds in two of the children were healed by the 1- and 5-week return visits, leaving narrow bands of scar tissue. In the two subjects who were followed the longest, signs of both a second-degree laceration and a surgically repaired third-degree injury had virtually disappeared by 12 to 14 months after the assaults. The wounds in one subject, infected with a herpes simplex type 2 virus, remained erythematous for a longer period of time than did similar injuries in the other children. A skin tag created by the avulsion of the tissues in one subject persisted, although it became less obvious as it retracted into the redundant folds of the perianal tissues over time.

Breath Monitoring

Wearable electrical sensors based on zeolites can be used for breath monitoring. The high silicon content of clinoptilolite makes this type of zeolite very adequate for fabricating sensitive water sensors. In addition to sensitivity, response fastness also represents a sensor characteristic of fundamental importance for breath monitoring. Here, the response fastness of a clinoptilolite-based water sensor has been evaluated by measuring the current intensity behavior upon exposition to a constant humidity atmosphere (75%). In particular, the clinoptilolite surface has been biased with a sinusoidal signal (20 Vpp, 5 kHz), and the true-RMS current intensity value has been recorded during exposition to the constant humidity atmosphere. Since current intensity is proportional to the adsorbed water concentration (only hydrated cations are charge carriers) a kinetic analysis has been possible. The clinoptilolite dehydration kinetics in a dry atmosphere have been evaluated too. According to this kinetic analysis, water adsorption is described by a Lagergren pseudo-first-order model with a rate constant of (58.6 ± 0.9)·10−4 min−1, while desorption in dry air follows a first-order kinetic model with a specific rate of (202.7 ± 0.3)·10−4 min−1 at 25 °C.

Midline Cervical Cleft

Objectives. Congenital midline cervical cleft (CMCC) is a very uncommon congenital anomaly of the midline anterior neck, and although it has very pathognomonic features (including nipple-like protuberance), it could be mistaken for other congenital neck lesions, such as thyroglossal duct cyst and branchial apparatus anomalies. Thus, it represents a challenging diagnosis. In this 21-patient series, we discuss the clinical features of CMCC, its pathophysiology characteristics, and its modalities management. Material and Methods. We conducted a retrospective chart review of children presenting with CMCC at our institution, between January 1998 and January 2016. Results. Twenty-one patients were identified with CMCC. Ages ranged between 1 day and 14 years. The length of the lesion varied from 0.5 to 5 cm, and the size of the skin tag varied from 0.2 to 1.5cm. No other significant associated anomalies were found. Surgery was the mainstay treatment, and no recurrence was found. W-plasty was used in most patients to close the defect. Conclusion. With a little more than 200 published cases, our series represents the largest series worldwide. The lesion is usually isolated, and no further investigation is required. Surgery is the mainstay of treatment, with complete excision being usually curative. It should be treated at an early age to prevent complications. In our experience, W-plasty was a good alternative to the most commonly used Z-plasty, in skin closure, with respect to both aesthetic and functional results.
