AIMS To develop a non-invasive method to demonstrate the presence of haemoglobin and its degradation products in bruises in live human subjects for the purposes of objectively assisting in the determination of the age of a bruise. METHODS The cuvette holder unit of a Cary 100 Bio UV-Visible Spectrophotometer was replaced with the manufacture's fibre optic cable and optical reflectance probe. ...

Knowledge of model parameters in bruise modeling is a prerequisite for accurate simulation of temporal bruise behavior, e.g. to obtain reliable age determination. So far 3 tissue specific model parameters (diffusivity of hemoglobin, concentration of the hemoglobin converting enzyme, and clearance time of bilirubin into the lymphatic system) were determined from area measurements of hemoglobin a...

in the present research, susceptibility of two strawberry cultivars (selva and gavita) to bruising was studied. individual fruits were subjected to impact and compressive forces. impact forces were applied through dropping the fruits from predetermined heights as well as pendulum. bruising volume was considered as damage index. in both methods bruising severity was increased as a function of im...

The detection and aging of bruises is important within clinical and forensic environments. Traditionally, visual and photographic assessment of bruise color is used to determine age, but this substantially subjective technique has been shown to be inaccurate and unreliable. The purpose of this study was to develop a technique to spectrally-age bruises using a reflective multi-spectral imaging s...

We assessed the effect of long-term treatment with inhaled budesonide (BUD) on the occurrence of posterior subcapsular cataracts (PSC), bruises and hoarseness in children with asthma. Slit lamp examinations were performed in 157 asthmatic children treated with inhaled BUD at a mean daily dose of 504 microg (range 189-1,322 microg) for 3-6 yrs (mean 4.4 yrs). Measurements were compared with 111 ...

In this issue of the Journal, Essebag et al. (4) examine data from the BRUISE CONTROL (BRidge or continUe coumadIn for device SurgEry randomized CONTROLled trial extended follow-up for INFECTION) trial connecting 2 of the more frequent complications of CIED procedures. Study strengths include strict definitions of both clinically significant hematoma (CSH) and significant infections, and the fo...
