Burn Injuries01:22

Burn Injuries

3.1K
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...

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones01:29

Blood and Nerve Supply to the Bones

12.2K
Bones are dynamic organs that require a rich supply of oxygen and nutrients. Around 5% to 10% of the cardiac output supplies blood to the bones. A typical long bone has three main sources: the nutrient artery, the metaphyseal and epiphyseal arteries, and the periosteal arteries.
Nutrient Artery
The nutrient artery is the main blood vessel that enters the diaphysis via the nutrient foramen. While most long bones have only one nutrient foramen, large bones, such as the femur, may have two. This...

Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers01:24

Local Anesthetics: Differential Sensitivity of Nerve Fibers

988
Local anesthetics (LAs) block the sodium channels of nerve trunks, sensory nerve endings, and neuromuscular junctions. Although LAs can block all kinds of nerves, the sensitivity of nerve fibers differs according to nerve types and structures. LAs are known to block myelinated fibers faster than unmyelinated ones. Also, they block pain or sensory neurons at low concentrations without affecting the motor neurons involved in muscle contractions. This helps relieve labor pain without affecting the...

Local Anesthetics: Adverse Effects01:12

Local Anesthetics: Adverse Effects

516
While local anesthetics are generally safe and well-tolerated, they can occasionally cause adverse effects that vary in severity. Local anesthetics can induce toxicity at two distinct levels. They can either produce local effects through direct contact with the neural elements or be absorbed into the bloodstream from the injection site, leading to systemic effects.
Once absorbed into the systemic circulation, local anesthetics can affect the organs that depend on the functioning of sodium...

Ankle Joint01:10

Ankle Joint

2.0K
The ankle is formed by the talocrural joint (crural = leg). It consists of the articulations between the talus bone of the foot and the distal ends of the tibia and fibula of the leg. The superior aspect of the talus bone is square-shaped and has three areas of articulation. The top of the talus articulates with the inferior tibia. This is the portion of the ankle joint that carries the body weight between the leg and foot. The sides of the talus are firmly held in position by the articulations...

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Podiatry
  • Chemical Injury

Background:

  • Nail procedures, including partial nail extraction and phenolization, are common in podiatry and dermatology.
  • Phenol is a chemical agent used for its cauterizing properties in nail bed ablation.

Observation:

  • A 59-year-old patient presented with a burning sensation on the ankle.
  • The symptoms appeared a few hours post-procedure for partial nail extraction with phenolization.
  • The patient reported a history of a chemical burn during the procedure.

Findings:

  • The burning sensation was diagnosed as a chemical burn.
  • The cause of the burn was identified as a drop of phenol spilt during the nail procedure.
  • The chemical burn affected the ankle area surrounding the treated nail bed.

Implications:

  • Highlights the importance of meticulous technique and safety protocols when using phenol in clinical practice.
  • Underscores the need for prompt recognition and management of chemical burns following minor surgical procedures.
  • Suggests that patient education regarding potential post-procedural complications, such as chemical burns, is crucial.
