Burns- chemical and pediatric by Dr. Sunil Keswani, National Burns Centre, Ai...NationalBurnsCentre2000
The document discusses chemical burns, including:
- Alkalis like sodium hydroxide cause liquefactive necrosis and promote deeper burns, while acids like sulfuric acid cause coagulative necrosis and limit depth except for hydrofluoric acid.
- Organic compounds like phenol cause coagulation necrosis of dermal proteins and systemic toxicity.
- Treatment involves removing the chemical, copious irrigation, and supportive care. Special attention must be given to hydrofluoric acid burns which require calcium supplementation.
- Chemical warfare agents like mustard gas, lewisite, nerve agents, and white phosphorus can also cause chemical burns and may require specific antidotes and treatments.Intussusception
A 30-year-old female presented with acute left abdominal pain and nausea. Imaging showed an intussusception, which is when a segment of bowel invaginates into another segment, often causing obstruction. Intussusception is most common in children under 2 years old and is frequently idiopathic, while in adults it is often due to an underlying cause like tumors. Computed tomography is the most accurate way to diagnose intussusception based on its characteristic appearance.

Cancellation of the Constellation Program and Future of NASA
The document discusses the cancellation of NASA's Constellation program by President Obama and the future of American human spaceflight. It outlines the history and goals of the Constellation program, the reasons for its cancellation due to budget cuts, and arguments from supporters of its continuation regarding national defense, jobs, and scientific discovery. Alternatives like privatizing spaceflight are mentioned but seen as insufficient to replace NASA's role. The summary concludes the cancellation leaves NASA without direction and could end America's leadership in space.
Senses of Taste
The document discusses an experiment to determine how visual and olfactory cues influence a person's ability to identify the flavor of beverages. It describes the five basic taste receptors and how taste is interpreted in the brain. The experiment tested subjects with sample beverages that had normal, altered, or no visual and olfactory clues. As visual and olfactory clues were removed, subjects took longer to identify flavors and were less accurate. The results supported the hypothesis that multiple senses contribute to taste perception.
