Detecting Skin Burns Induced by Surface Electrodes
The origin of electrical burns under gel-type surface electrodes is a controversial topic that is not well understood. To investigate the phenomenon, we have developed an excised porcine skin+gel model. In the present paper, we describe methods to detect these burns in the skin+gel model in an effort to understand the genesis of these burns. Burns were induced by severe electrical stimulation a...
متن کاملAirbag-Induced Thermal Skin Burns
Two new techniques for investigating the thermal skinburn potential of airbags are presented. A reduced-volume airbag test procedure has been developed to obtain airbag pressures that are representative of a dynamic ridedown event during a static deployment. Temperature and heat flux measurements made with this procedure can be used to predict airbag thermal burn potential. Measurements from th...
متن کاملAvoiding skin burns with transcranial direct current stimulation: preliminary considerations.
Interest is rapidly developing in transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) as an emerging tool in neurology and psychiatry. tDCS involves the application of weak, unidirectional currents through scalp electrodes to alter neuronal excitability, that may outlast the period of stimulation (Arul-Anandam & Loo, 2009). In addition to being a tool for neurophysiological investigations, tDCS has ...
متن کاملSkin Grafting of Burns
This book outlines the essential points of care which have proved of benefit in treating a large series of patients with full-thickness loss of skin and requiring skin grafting, at the Washington University Medical School Children's Hospital and Barnes Hospital, during the course of a long period. In the first chapter, the authors stato : ' In the extensive literature on burn's, there has been ...
متن کاملSkin lesions induced by transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS).
For several years, at the Institute Guttmann Neurorehabilitation Hospital (Barcelona, Spain), we have been applying Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) for the management of Neuropathic pain after spinal cord injury. TDCS has been established as useful therapeutic option for patients with neuropathic pain [1]. Several recent studies demonstrate its efficacy, good tolerance and minima...
