Abstract:

Firecrackers are still popular among the general public of various populations worldwide. This study investigated inner ear damage in patients with firecracker trauma and analyzed noise levels in 6 kinds of commercially available firecrackers. During the past 20 years, we have experienced 30 patients with firecracker trauma. An inner ear test battery comprising audiometry, cervical and ocular vestibular-evoked myogenic potential (cVEMP and oVEMP) tests and a caloric test was performed. The real-time noise levels were measured outdoors at a distance of 2, 4 and 6 m away from a lighting firecrac

Abstract:

Evisceration of abdominal viscus following “Flowerpot firecracker” (tubri) blast injury to the abdomen is a rare but dangerous form of domestic accident. Lack of knowledge and non-compliance of safety measures is the major reason for firecracker eventualities. A 10-year male child presented three hours post-injury with a wound over the upper abdomen. On examination there was evisceration of part of stomach along with colon through supraumbilical abdominal wound. Resuscitation and repair following exploratory laparotomy performed. Patient recovered well postoperatively. Public awareness and saf

Abstract:

Background: Firecracker burn injuries are one of the common causes of thermal burns during festival time. Second-degree burn is common followed by first-degree burns. Burn wound management is challenging since healing is a complex slow-going process that needs timely care and timely management, which otherwise advances to the infectious stage especially in diabetic patients who are always at a high risk for delayed wound healing due to impaired immune response, neuropathy, infections etc. Ayurveda correlates burn wounds as Dagdha Vruna and is classified based on the degree of burns.

Firework-related injuries remain a serious public health issue in Germany, especially during New Year’s Eve. While many injuries are minor, the misuse of illegal or homemade fireworks can cause severe trauma resembling military combat injuries and can heavily burden emergency services.

Abstract:

Introduction: Firework-related ocular injuries are an important cause of preventable ocular injuries and are common during the festival season. Despite the strict legislation in Nepal, the use of a firework is still commonly used during Tihar and Chaath festivals. Objective: To evaluate demographic distribution, mode, causative firework, type of fireworks-related ocular injuries, and visual outcome at a tertiary eye hospital in Eastern Nepal. Methods: This is a hospital-based prospective interventional study. All the patients with firework-related injuries who attended the emergency and outpat

Introduction/Objective. The objective of the study was to determinate which groups in the population of children are most prone to hand injuries and to identify the causes of the injuries with the aim of further developing better means of severe injuries prevention that can lead to invalidity. Methods. A retrospective epidemiological study was carried out, and included all children with hand injuries admitted to our hospital between January 1, 2010 and December 31, 2017; The data were collected and analyzed statistically using SPSSR.

Purpose: To study and compare the demographic and clinical profile of acute ocular burns (AOB) in children and adults. Methods: This retrospective case series included 271 children (338 eyes) and 1300 adults (1809 eyes) who presented to two tertiary eye care centers within one month of sustaining AOB. Data regarding demographics, causative agents, severity of injury, visual acuity (VA), and treatment were collected and analyzed. Results: Males were more commonly affected particularly among adults (81% versus 64%, P < 0.00001). Among children, 79% sustained domestic injuries, whereas 59% of

Abstract Introduction Despite existing restrictions and laws related to sale and use of fireworks, prevention of firework injuries has not reached its goal line. The purpose of this project is to identify impact of firework injuries and to seek for any trends or patterns. Methods We conducted a retrospective chart review of 2019 firework related injuries treated at our burn center and obtained 2017–2019 firework data from the County Firework Authority. All patients treated in the month of July 2019 at emergency department, clinic, and inpatient service were included. Data extracted include pat

Abstract:

This study analyzed the pattern of firecracker-related injuries during and after the COVID-19 lockdown by examining data from patients treated during Diwali in 2020, 2021, and 2022 at five tertiary eye care centres in South India. A total of 1005 cases were reviewed, revealing a significant male preponderance (p<0.001) and a majority of victims under 20 years of age. There was a statistically significant increase in the number of firecracker ocular injuries from 2020 to 2022 (p<0.001). Epithelial defects were the most common injury caused by firecrackers in the study group, while the num

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Firecracker thoracic injuries are rare but critical, often requiring multidisciplinary management. We report a case of a teenage male patient who presented with hemothorax and empyema due to a firecracker-related chest wall injury. Initial management involved tube thoracostomy; however, the patient subsequently required thoracoscopic intervention for the removal of intrathoracic firecracker residue and decortication. This case emphasizes the significance of early intervention, tailored antibiotics, residue removal for recovery, and preventive measures for such injuries.

Abstract:

Purpose: To clarify the origin of a metallic intraocular foreign body (IOFB) due to a firecracker injury and to show the utility of X-ray diffraction analysis in the identification process. Methods: Interventional case report using X-ray diffraction technique. Results: We report a mechanism of firecracker ocular injury not previously described in the published literature. It involved penetration into the eye by a ground particle of calamine (originated from the area of detonation) and not, as it could be suspected, by a firecracker fragment. Conclusion: X-ray diffraction analysis showed enviro

Abstract:

Introduction: Eye injuries caused by firework are often severe and can cause permanently reduced visual acuity or blindness. Most are unintentional injuries. This leads to development of traumatic cataract after weeks, months or years. Case History: A 7-year-old girl presented with a history of firecracker injury to her eye before 20 days. On examination, she had a traumatic cataract with vision reduced to light perception. Surgical intervention was performed, and an intraocular lens was implanted. Management: Cataract irrigation and aspiration done under general anaeshthesia. Results: Post-op

Firecracker induced open globe injury is a big challenge for ophthalmic surgeons. Its associationwith the intraocular foreign body makes the diagnosis and treatment even more difficult resultingin poor anatomical and visual outcomes. We report a case of a 35-year-old male who presented withbilateral, multiple corneal and intraocular foreign body due to firecracker explosion. His vision waslimited to hand movement in both eyes. Combined penetrating keratoplasty and cataract surgerywere done in both eyes followed by pars plana vitrectomy for intraocular foreign body removal.The final best-correc

Purpose: This study describes the technique of simple limbal epithelial transplantation (SLET) without amniotic membrane grafting (AMG) in limbal stem cell deficiency (LSCD). Methods: Retrospective, interventional case series of 6 patients who underwent SLET without AMG were included. The procedure followed the standard technique, involving limbal biopsy from the healthy eye, resection of symblephera, and pannus dissection in the affected eye. Following host bed preparation, limbal explants were placed on the bare cornea and secured with fibrin glue. A large-diameter bandage contact lens was a
