We report a case of ocular injury caused by a bombardier beetle in a young boy. Ocular injuries due to this coleoptera have not previously been reported. An 11-year-old boy experienced an eye injury while trying to place a bombardier beetle inside an anthill. The boy was diagnosed with a second-degree burn on the skin of the upper right eyelid and conjunctival and corneal erosion in the right eye. The condition resolved completely after 2 weeks of appropriate treatment. Education about the dangers of playing with insects is crucial to prevent this type of lesions.

To the Editor.— In our office we have recently seen two children with burns obtained while being placed in a car seat. The first child was a 2-year-old toddler with a mild first degree burn to the right thigh area requiring minimal further care. However, the second child was a 15-month-old infant who was seen in our office with a second degree burn requiring debridement as well as local antibiotic care. The burn healed well, but these occurrences suggest the possibility of severe burns.

BACKGROUND Artificial snow spray induced ocular injuries have become common in the past two decades throughout India. There is a paucity of studies in India as well as globally on such injuries. This study was undertaken to identify such types of ocular injuries and evaluate the awareness of artificial snow spray use in the present hospital settings. METHODS This hospital based longitudinal study was carried out among 68 patients having artificial snow spray induced ocular injuries. The study period was from 01. 01. 2019 to 30. 12. 2019. A detailed history of patients was taken pertaining to the injury. A thorough ocular examination was carried out on a slit lamp biomicroscope. Visual acuity was recorded using Snellen’s test type chart. Clinical grading was done by Roper Hall classification. RESULTS The present study included 68 patients i.e. 124 eyes of which 64.7 % (44) were males, 35.3 % (24) were females. The mean age was 26.029 years. All the patients suffered from chemical conjunctivitis (100 %), superficial punctate keratitis (SPK) 82.3 %, corneal erosion (8.8 %), and corneal erosion involving limbal area (3.2 %). Most ocular injuries due to artificial foam were bilateral (82.3 %). Maximum number of patients (94.4 %) had grade I ocular injuries. 93.5 % of patients had BCVA (best corrected visual acuity) 6 / 6 within 1 week of ocular injuries. So far, no patients had any irreversible ophthalmic sequelae. Awareness among the study group was very less. CONCLUSIONS Artificial snow spray used in parties, festival celebration can cause mild to severe ocular injuries. Public awareness will reduce the use of this chemical.

Abstract Introduction Burn is one of the most severe traumas that causes coagulative destruction of the skin. The use of various products that accelerate wound healing in patients with burn may affect the patient’s survival and reduce the complications that may be seen. In the present study we aimed effects of subcutaneous ozone injection on second degree burn wound. Methods A total of 72 Sprague-Dawley male rats included in the study were divided randomly into three groups (control group (CG), silver sulfadiazine group (SG), ozone group (OG)) and each group was divided randomly two subgroups (as sacrificed on d7 and on d14).A deep second degree scald burns were created on the lower back. In CG subcutaneous 0.9% serum saline was injected daily into the burn area. In SG, burns were dressed with silver sulfadiazine daily and in OG subcutaneous ozone was injected daily into the burn area. Tissue hydroxyproline level measurement and histopathological evaluation were done. Results When the groups were compared in terms of weight change, no significant difference was found on the 7th and 14th days. In the evaluation made in terms of tissue hydroxyproline, tissue hydroxyproline level in OG was found to be significantly higher on both the 7th and 14th days (p < 0.001). In histopathological evaluations, it was determined that wound healing in OG was significantly higher than in the other groups. Conclusions According to the results, subcutaneous ozone therapy is more effective than silver sulphadiazine in the healing process of second-degree burn wounds and it can be safely used in the treatment of burn wounds.

A postal survey was conducted to determine the use of eye protection and incidence of ocular trauma in orthodontic practice. One-hundred-and-fifty-nine NHS orthodontic consultants and 203 specialist orthodontic practitioners were surveyed. Two-hundred-and-forty-one(66·5 per cent) replies were received. Some form of eye protection was routinely worn by 66·8 per cent of orthodontists, 64·3 per cent of patients, but only 33·6 per cent of DSAs. Eye protection was not offered to DSAs in 31·9 per cent of practices or to patients in 22·1 per cent. Forty-three per cent of orthodontists reported instances of ocular injury in their practices. The majority of these injuries (n = 104) occurred during debonding or trimming acrylic. Other incidents involved ligating materials, intra-oral polishing, and acid etching. Most injuries (83·5 per cent) were treated in the surgery without any long-term effects. The routine use of goggles or spectacles with side-pieces and plastic lenses, which conform to British Standard BS 2092, is recommended for staff and patients during all operative procedures in orthodontic practice.

Background. Most of the current models for experimental burns pose difficulties in ensuring consistency and standardization.Aim of Study. We aimed to develop an automated, reproducible technique for experimental burns using steam-based heat transfer.Methods. The system developed for steam exposure was based on a novel, integrated, computer-controlled design. Three groups of rats were exposed to steam for 1, 3, and 7 seconds. The lesions were evaluated after 20 minutes, 48 hours, and 72 hours after burn induction.Results. One-second steam application produced a superficial second-degree burn; three-second application induced deep second-degree burn; and seven-second application led to a third-degree burn.Conclusion. The high level of automation of our integrated, computer-controlled system makes the difference between our system and other models, by ensuring the control of the duration of exposure, temperature, and pressure and eliminating as many potential human generated errors as possible. The automated system can accurately reproduce specific types of burns, according to histological assessment. This model could generate the reproducible data needed in the study of burn pathology and in order to assess new treatments.

Introduction. Biliary cystadenomas of the liver are rare benign tumors prone to malignant alteration so that a total excision is recommended. Objective. The aim of the paper is to present our experience in treatment and to evaluate whether a simple ablation represents the appropriate treatment. Methods. Over a 10?year period 25 patients (24 women) of the average age of 58 years suffering from cystadenomas of the liver, 18 in the right, 4 in the left and 3 in both lobes of the liver were operated. Twenty?three patients had a single lesion, while two patients had 3 and 6 lesions, respectively. Pain was present in 20, occasional vomiting in 4, discomfort in 2 and a sense of fullness in 2 patients. Three patients were jaundiced, 1 due to cystadenoma of the liver, 2 due to concomitant tumors of the head of the pancreas, while 5 patients had concomitant diseases. Results. A total ablation was performed in 22 patients, left lateral bisegmentectomy in 1 and partial excision in 2 patients. Six additional procedures were performed. Five cystadenomas of the liver had ?ovarian like? stroma, all in women. A focal malignant alteration was found in 2 patients aged 66 and 79 years, respectively. Recurrence was registered in 1 female patient in whom a partial excision had been done. Two patients with concomitant malignancy and 1 patient who developed malignant histiocytosis six months after surgery, died after 1, 2 and 3 years, respectively. Conclusion. Biliary cystadenomas of the liver may be misdiagnosed as simple liver cysts, so that ?frozen section? histology is highly recommended. In most cases the tumor may be successfully treated by ablation up to the healthy liver tissue. Major liver resections are rarely necessary.
