چکیده

A case is reported of a patient who developed full thickness chemical burns of the skin after a prolonged contact while working with wet cement. The history, course of disease, and therapy are described. Cement is an alkaline substance (pH >12) leading to colliquative necrosis. Tissue damage is due to the exothermic reaction of calcium oxide and water forming calcium hydroxide. Patch test was performed to test sensitization to chromium, chromate and cobalt, the usual cement ingredients. In our opinion, such lesions may not be rare because cement is widely used in construction, but are rarely described or under-recognized.

Cgi 2008 Conference Proceedings Caustic Triangles on the Gpu

This paper proposes a robust algorithm to compute caustics caused by multiple reflections and refractions on the GPU. The proposed algorithm solves two problems of previous methods, caustic light leaks and caustic undersampling. In order to eliminate caustic light leaks, terminal photon hits are stored and caustic patterns are reconstructed on the faces of a layered distance map attached to the...

Caustic Crossing Microlensing Event by binary MACHOs and Time Scale Bias

Caustic crossing microlensing events provide us a unique opportunity to measure the relative proper motion of the lens to the source, and so those caused by binary MACHOs are of great importance for understanding the structure of the Galactic halo and the nature of MACHOs. The microlensing event 98-SMC-01, occurred in June 1998, is the first event for which the proper motion is ever measured th...

Allergic Reaction Following Insertion of Vancomycin Loaded in Bone Cement

Vancomycin bead is an important ancillary treatment for osteomyelitis caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). However, red-man syndrome, which can be a life-threatening complication of vancomycin, may occur from the use of vancomycin beads albeit rarely. We report our first case of red-man syndrome caused by vancomycin bead's insertion for chronic osteomyelitis. Symptomati...
