Decreased Body Temperature01:29

Decreased Body Temperature

917
A decreased body temperature can occur in patients with hypothermia and frostbite. Heat loss with extended cold exposure overpowers the body's ability to create heat, resulting in hypothermia. Core temperature readings help classify hypothermia. Mild hypothermia is temperatures between 32 °C (89.6 °F) and 35°C (95 °F) and is caused by impaired thermoregulation. Moderate hypothermia is temperatures between 28 C (82.4 °F) and 32 °C (89.6 °F) caused by...

Frost Action on Concrete01:27

Frost Action on Concrete

344
Concrete structures in cold climates, such as those along roadsides, can retain moisture. This moisture makes them susceptible to frost-related damage when temperatures fall below freezing. Adding moisture worsens the damage during temperature fluctuations, leading to repeated freezing and thawing. De-icing salts, spread over these structures to melt ice, add to the freeze-thaw cycle, and draw even more moisture into the concrete.
This freeze-thaw cycle primarily causes surface scaling, where...

Frost Resistant Concrete01:29

Frost Resistant Concrete

329
Concrete's susceptibility to frost damage during freeze-thaw cycles demands strategic measures to enhance its frost resistance. Employing techniques like air entrainment, adjusting the water-cement ratio, proper curing, and selecting appropriate aggregates are essential.
Introducing microscopic air bubbles into the concrete mix through air entrainment creates small voids that accommodate ice expansion, thereby reducing internal pressures and preventing cracking. The optimal amount of...

Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

4.0K
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...

Skin Diseases and Disorders01:23

Skin Diseases and Disorders

5.1K
Skin is the first line of defense and encounters a variety of microbes. Some pathogenic strains are often the cause of a broad range of infections of the skin and other body systems. These conditions can affect people of all ages and may have different causes, including genetic factors, infections, autoimmune reactions, environmental factors, and lifestyle choices.
Gram-positive Staphylococcus spp. and Streptococcus spp. are responsible for many of the most common skin infections. However, many...

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Medicine
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Retrospective analysis of two occupational frostbite cases at Shandong Academy of Occupational Healthy Occupational Medicine.
  • Focus on patients working in low-temperature environments.

Observation:

  • Inadequate attention to initial frostbite symptoms in both cases.
  • One patient lacked timely diagnosis and treatment; the other received prompt but improper medical care.

Findings:

  • Delayed or incorrect treatment of occupational frostbite resulted in adverse outcomes, including finger amputation.
  • Highlights the critical need for timely and appropriate medical intervention.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of strict adherence to low-temperature operation protection standards.
  • Stresses the necessity for enhanced self-protection awareness among workers in cold environments.
  • Underscores that prompt medical treatment can significantly reduce disability rates from frostbite.
