Loxoscelism: Proposal of a New Protocol for Treatment
نویسنده
چکیده
Loxoscelism is a rare but often underestimated cause of dermonecrosis in emergency departments. Different kinds of treatment are proposed in literature, but a shared management protocol is not yet available. We propose a therapeutic protocol considering a case which occurred in our emergency department, managed with the support of the Poison Control Center (PCC) and the Hyperbaric Unit. In particular, focusing on the risk of bacterial superinfection and necrotizing fasciitis, we suggest to consider the use of hyperbaric therapy.

متن کاملA New Proposal for 4-to-2 Optical Encoder Using Nonlinear Photonic Crystal Ring Resonators
In this paper, we proposed an all optical 4-to-2 encoder that has 4 input and 3 output ports. This device generates a 2 bit binary code based on which input port is active. We used nonlinear photonic crystal ring resonators along with optical power splitter for realizing the proposed encoder. In this device the switching rate and area are obtained about 333 GHz and 612µm2 respectively.
