Ultrasonic probes were placed around dog femoral arteries to record blood flow. Hind paw scalding with boiling water (5 s) caused a marked increase in ipsilateral femoral blood flow that persisted for the 2-h observation period. Contralateral femoral blood flow and systemic and pulmonary vascular resistances were unchanged. Compared to scald only animals, methysergide pretreatment diminished an...

The mechanisms underlying the effects of severe burn trauma are not well understood. We previously demonstrated the ability of nephrilin peptide (an iron-binding peptide believed to enter cells through iron-uptake pathways) to suppress aspects of the neuroinflammatory response in a rat scald model, as well as sepsis mortality in a mouse model. This study explores the effect of nephrilin on othe...

Some apple cultivars are highly susceptible to soft scald, a physiological disorder that can lead large losses. The effect of harvest time, gradual cooling regimes and storage conditions on scald fungal decay was investigated in two common cultivars, ‘Aroma’ ‘Frida’ three year trial 2018–2020. Further, possible relationships between weather during the growing season 28 d before incidence along ...

M oday, Sptem er 6, 2016 ConCluSionS: Xenografting appears to be a reasonable option for patients with partial-thickness scald injuries. The cost, LOS, HAIs, and ICU days for the Xenografting cohort fell in-between the Non-Op and Autografting cohorts, as would be expected. While non-operative management may be appropriate for small/superficial burns, and Autografting may be required for large/d...

The incidence and geographic distribution of leaf scald (Xanthomonas albilineans (Ashby) Dowson) in the Moreton district between 1951 and 1975 is described. Most of the infection has been in 471. Increase in incidence of the disease appears to be favoured by periods of high rainfall followed by dry weather. A survey was made, at monthly intervals from January to June 1975, to try to determine l...

Superfi cial scald of apples and pears, which manifests as brown or black patches on the fruit skin, results from necrosis of the hypodermal cortical tissue (Bain and Mercer, 1963) and is thought to be induced by oxidation products of the sesquiterpene (E,E)-α-farnesene (Anet, 1972a; Huelin and Coggiola, 1970a, 1970b; Huelin and Murray, 1966). Synthesis of sesquiterpenes in plant tissues occurs...

A study has been undertaken of burn and scald accidents to children in Bradford. In the first part, 1577 accidents treated in the Bradford Royal Infirmary between 1969 and 1973 were analysed by city ward of residence of the patient and these were correlated with 14 social and demographic characteristics of the wards. A correlation was found between burn and scald accidents and New Commonwealth ...
