Penile strangulation due to plastic bottle neck: a surgical emergency

Penile incarceration is a rare but serious problem. Rapid treatment is necessary to prevent penile infarction. Glass bottles, metal rings, steel nuts and bull rings have been reported as constricting agents. Depending on the type of material, various tools such as diamond drills, bolt cutters and glass saws have been used to remove the objects. Penile strangulation by metal ring is a rare surgical emergency situation which requires urgent intervention to avoid vascular and urethral injury. It is usually associated with an attempt to improve sexual act and/or to prolong erection, psychosexual disorder. It is difficult to cut a metal ring as the edema was out of proportion and metal ring had made pressure ulcer at pen scrotal junction. The treatment of penile strangulation is decompression of the constricted penis to facilitate free blood flow and micturition. It requires no particular skill but does require resourcefulness to perform the removal simply and effectively, and with as little discomfort for the patient as possible. Here, author presented a case of penile strangulation in which metal ring was removed by silk thread.

Partial Penectomy

Penile strangulation is a very rare but most serious clinical condition. It usually results from positioning of any foreign object at base of penis for sexual stimulation. If urgent intervention is not done this may lead to serious complications even death? In this study usual common method were unsuccessful therefore partial penectomy was done.

Introduction Oral foreign bodies and perioral injuries are common occurrence among paediatric population. These may range from benign occurrences to those that may threaten the airway. One such injury is tongue entrapment into objects like plastic bottle neck. Tongue entrapment in bottle neck is rare with very few cases reported in literature. Case Report A case of a 9-year old mentally retarded male child with tongue haemangioma who got his tongue tightly entrapped inside a plastic bottle neck is presented. Since such cases are very rare, treatment often requires creative and novel approach to ensure safe removal of constricting object without causing any injury to surrounding structures. When conventional methods using Mayo’s scissors failed to cut open the bottle neck, we used Gigli saw wire in a safe manner to cut it open. It took a few minutes to relieve the entrapment of tongue without traumatising the surrounding structure. Discussion This case highlights the result of careless and often dangerous play and misadventures of children and the challenge of management. It calls for vigilance and close supervision of children by caregivers at home and at school. Early presentation, immediate intervention and treatment can prevent grave consequences.

Diffusion Problems

AbstractWe consider the numerical approximation of the spectral fractional diffusion problem based on the so called Balakrishnan representation. The latter consists of an improper integral approximated via quadratures. At each quadrature point, a reaction–diffusion problem must be approximated and is the method bottle neck. In this work, we propose to reduce the computational cost using a reduced basis strategy allowing for a fast evaluation of the reaction–diffusion problems. The reduced basis does not depend on the fractional power s for 0 < smin ⩽ s ⩽ smax < 1. It is built offline once for all and used online irrespectively of the fractional power. We analyze the reduced basis strategy and show its exponential convergence. The analytical results are illustrated with insightful numerical experiments.

Small Colony

Floating marine debris and litter act as a vector transporting various species across long distances. The present study reports possible transoceanic rafting of a small colony of barnacles on an unopened plastic bottle of Chinese origin found washed ashore on the Ninety Mile Beach in Victoria, Australia. The crustaceans attached were identified to be the goose barnacle Lepas pectinata. Based on the number and size of the colony the marine pollutant was estimated to adrift for several months. We hypothesised the origin of the flotsam, especially the barnacles and how it made its way from the Pacific to be washed ashore in Australia. Furthermore, we identified two types of microbes, Vibrio alginolyticus and Vibrio parahaemolyticus, associated with the Lepas pectinata growing on the bottle. This study appears to be the first report of possible transoceanic rafting on unused plastic pollutants and highlights the potential environmental threats caused by plastic.
