The use of high-resolution optical coherence tomography (OCT) to visualize penetration kinetics during the initial phase of chemical eye burns is evaluated. The changes in scattering properties and thickness of rabbit cornea ex vivo were monitored after topical application of different corrosives by time-resolved OCT imaging. Eye burn causes changes in the corneal microstructure due to chemical...

Surgery in ancient India was highly advanced, much more than in any other country at that time. Its proof is available in Susruta Samhita, one of the main treatises of Ayurveda, which is presented here.

This paper presents a case in which a chemical burn resulted from the use of garlic as a naturopathic medicine for knee pain.

introduction: endoscopy is an invasive procedure and finding noninvasive alternative tools in detection of probable upper gastrointestinal (gi) tract injuries following caustic ingestion is an area of interest. the present study aimed to evaluate the screening performance characteristics of thoraco-abdominal computed tomography (ct) scan in this regard. methods: this prospective cross sectional...
