Insights

Ocular glue injuries in children can cause eyelid matting and redness. Prompt lash trimming and glue removal, followed by standard care, led to uneventful recovery in two pediatric cases.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Pediatric Emergency Medicine

Background:

  • Ocular glue injuries are uncommon but can cause significant eyelid and ocular surface issues in children.
  • Prompt management is crucial to prevent long-term complications.

Observation:

  • Two pediatric patients presented with complete eyelid closure due to eyelash matting from cyanoacrylate glue.
  • Periocular erythema and glue retention at the lash roots were noted in both cases.

Findings:

  • Immediate lash trimming and removal of crystallized glue under local anesthesia were performed.
  • Ocular surface examination revealed only conjunctival congestion, with no corneal complications.
  • Follow-up over 5 months showed an uneventful clinical course with standard chemical injury protocols.

Implications:

  • This case series highlights a simple and effective management strategy for pediatric ocular glue injuries.
  • Early intervention can prevent serious ocular surface damage and ensure favorable outcomes.
  • Ophthalmologists and emergency physicians should be aware of this specific injury pattern and its management.

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy01:37

Super-resolution Fluorescence Microscopy

Super-resolution fluorescence microscopy (SRFM) provides a better resolution than conventional fluorescence microscopy by reducing the point spread function (PSF). PSF is the light intensity distribution from a point that causes it to appear blurred. Due to PSF, each fluorescing point appears bigger than its actual size, and it is the PSF interference of nearby fluorophores that causes the blurred image. Various approaches to achieving higher resolution through SRFM have recently been...

Burn Injuries

Burn injuries occur when the skin and underlying tissues are damaged due to exposure to heat, electricity, chemicals, radiation, or friction. They can vary in severity, from minor superficial burns to severe deep burns that can be life-threatening.
The damage results in the death of skin cells, which can lead to a massive loss of fluid. Dehydration, electrolyte imbalance, and renal and circulatory failure follow, which can be fatal. Burn patients are treated with intravenous fluids to offset...

Acute Kidney Injury I: Introduction

Introduction:Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) describes a swift decrease in kidney function occurring over hours to days, characterized by the kidneys' failure to remove waste products from the bloodstream. This leads to dangerous complications like metabolic acidosis, fluid overload, and electrolyte imbalances, such as hyperkalemia, which can cause life-threatening arrhythmias. AKI is common in both hospital and outpatient settings, often triggered by dehydration, sepsis, or exposure to nephrotoxic...

Acute Kidney Injury II: Pathophysiology

Acute kidney injury (AKI) causes are categorized into three primary categories based on the location of the injury: prerenal, intrarenal (or intrinsic), and postrenal causes. This classification guides clinical management and illustrates how different pathways can impair kidney function.Etiology and Pathophysiology of Acute Kidney Injury1. Prerenal causesEtiology: Prerenal Acute Kidney Injury, the most common type, occurs when reduced blood flow to the kidneys decreases filtration capacity...

Acute Kidney Injury V: Interprofessional Care

Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) requires a collaborative healthcare approach to restore renal function and prevent complications. Essential management strategies involve monitoring fluid and electrolyte balance, adjusting medications, initiating dialysis when necessary, and providing nutritional support.Fluid and Electrolyte ManagementFluid Monitoring: Regularly monitoring body weight, central venous pressure, and urine output helps detect fluid imbalances early. Patient intake and output are...
