It is occasionally difficult to distinguish between a self-inflicted bruise and true bruise. The important point of diagnosis is a good, thorough history taking and detailed examination of the affected area.

Currently, blueberry bruising is evaluated by either human visual/tactile inspection or firmness measurement instruments. These methods are destructive, time-consuming, and subjective. The goal of this paper was to develop a non-destructive approach for blueberry bruising detection and quantification. Experiments were conducted on 300 samples of southern highbush blueberry (Camellia, Rebel, and...

BACKGROUND Bone bruises are frequently associated with anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears as a result of trauma or direct shear stress of the bone. PURPOSE To review the evidence regarding the characteristics of the bone bruise associated with ACL tears, its relevance on clinical outcomes, and its progression over time. In particular, the long-term effects of the bone bruise on the knee o...

the case of a bruise on the side of the forehead, cheeks, or chin, even in at-risk infants.

In older children, by contrast, bruises, even those resembling finger tip bruises, are common and can be accepted as accidental, as shown by Keen' in his ca...

abstract- bruising degrades the quality of fresh apple fruits. reducing bruise damage is of utmost importance in designing and developing processing equipments. the main objective of the present study was to introduce an analytical method to predict the allowable static load applicable to apple fruits. to predict the strain energy absorbed by the fruit, a point load was applied on the solid sph...

Purpose Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) rupture has been associated with early occurrence of osteoarthritis (OA), which was originally believed to be due to instability derived from ACL insufficiency. However, recent studies showed more than half of the patients who had ACL reconstruction will develop OA changes within 10 years after an ACL rupture. These findings suggest that the initial inju...

gain of enough knowledge on how to reduce mechanical damages is indispensable in developing fresh fruit handling as well as post harvest systems. this research was performed to determine and compare the susceptibility of five apple varieties to impact loads in khorasan region. five apple varieties of khorasan region (aroos, abbasi, yellow lobnani, red lobnani and golshahi) were loaded by two im...

The age of a bruise may be of interest to forensic investigators. Previous research has demonstrated that an alternative light source may assist in the visualisation of faint or non-visible bruises. This project aimed to determine if an alternative light source could be utilised to assist investigators estimate the age of a bruise. Forty braises, sustained from blunt force trauma, were examined...
