  • laboratory acquired skin infections in a clinical microbiologist is wearing only gloves really safe
    American Journal of Infection Control, 2016
    Co-Authors: Yucel Duman, Yusuf Yakupogullari, Baris Otlu, Mehmet Sait Tekerekoglu
    Abstract:

    Laboratory-acquired infection is one of the leading occupational health hazards. On a laboratory worker's hands, Carbuncles occurred. Staphylococcus aureus was isolated from pus samples of the Carbuncles, with the same pulsed field gel electrophoresis band pattern with one of the recently studied strains in the laboratory. Incorrect or inadequate application of infection control measures may result in pathogen acquisition from the clinical samples, and wearing only gloves is not sufficient for the biosafety of laboratory workers in clinical diagnostic laboratories.

  • anatomy histology and systematic implications of the head ornamentation in the males of four species of limnonectes anura dicroglossidae
    Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, 2014
    Co-Authors: Markus Lambertz, Timo Hartmann, Shannon Drysdale Walsh, Peter Geissler, David S Mcleod
    Abstract:

    The males of four species of the Asian frog genus Limnonectes [Limnonectes dabanus (Smith, 1922a), Limnonectes gyldenstolpei (Andersson, 1916), Limnonectes macrognathus (Boulenger, 1917), and Limnonectes plicatellus (Stoliczka, 1873)] exhibit remarkable ornamentation in the form of a swollen, or cap-like, structure (caruncle) on the top of their heads. These caruncles vary in their appearance among species, and neither their function nor their actual systematic value is known. We compared their anatomy via dissections, morphometrics, radiography, and histology, and analysed the available mitochondrial DNA sequences as well as new data to place these species within the context of a larger phylogenetic hypothesis for Limnonectes. Despite the externally different morphology, the underlying histological structure is virtually identical. Beneath skin that is densely packed with mucous glands lies a pad of connective tissue overlaying the parietal bone. The actual function of the caruncle, however, remains enigmatic. In addition to the presence of the caruncle, independent evidence from osteological characters and molecular data support the monophyly of a clade comprising of L. dabanus, L. gyldenstolpei, L. macrognathus, and L. plicatellus. The caruncles are therefore interpreted as a robust autapomorphy for this clade, and suggest that the subgenus Elachyglossa should be restricted to the four species in question. © 2014 The Linnean Society of London

  • location of the accessory infraorbital foramen with reference to external landmarks and its clinical implications
    Scientific Reports, 2020
    Co-Authors: Kang-jae Shin, Shin-hyo Lee, Hyun Jin Shin, Min Gyu Park, Andrew G Lee
    Abstract:

    The aim of this study was to define the location of the accessory infraorbital foramen (AIOF) with reference to accessible external landmarks in order to facilitate orbital and oculoplastic surgical procedures in the maxillofacial region. Forty-four hemifaces from 25 cadavers were dissected. The lateral canthus, subnasal point, and lacrimal caruncle were used as anatomic reference points. The AIOF was observed in 8 of the 44 hemifaces (18.2%) and was situated at a mean distance of 7.2 mm superomedial to the IOF. The horizontal distance from the lacrimal caruncle to the AIOF was 0.3 mm. In all cases the AIOF was situated at a point that was no more than 8 mm from the intersection point of a vertical line passing through the lacrimal caruncle and an oblique line joining the lateral canthus and the subnasal point. Surgeons anesthetizing or performing surgical procedures in the maxillofacial region should be aware of the frequency of the AIOF (18.2%) and its location (on the superomedial side of the IOF). We propose that injecting at the intersection point of a vertical line passing through the lacrimal caruncle and an oblique line joining the lateral canthus and the subnasal point would successfully block the accessory branch of the infraorbital nerve. Likewise, surgeons operating in this region should be aware of the location of the AIOF in order to avoid inadvertent iatrogenic injury to a duplicated infraorbital nerve.

  • Three-Dimensional Topography of the Supratrochlear Nerve With Reference to the Lacrimal Caruncle, and Its Danger Zone in Asians.
    Dermatologic surgery : official publication for American Society for Dermatologic Surgery [et al.], 2017
    Co-Authors: Young-chun Gil, Kang-jae Shin, Shin-hyo Lee, Wu-chul Song, Ki-seok Koh, Hyun Jin Shin
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND The supratrochlear nerve (STN) is relatively superficial and therefore vulnerable to iatrogenic injury. OBJECTIVE To elucidate the course of STN with reference to the lacrimal caruncle, with the aim of preventing nerve injury during surgery in the forehead region. MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-four hemifaces from 18 Korean cadavers were dissected. The vertical line through the apex of lacrimal caruncle and the horizontal line through the supraorbital margin were used as horizontal and vertical reference lines, respectively. The course of STN in the frontal view and the point at which it pierced the overlaying musculature were examined. RESULTS After exiting the corrugator muscle cushion, the STN enters the subcutaneous plane by piercing the frontalis muscle. These piercing points occurred at mean horizontal and vertical distances relative to the medial branch of the STN of 9.2 and 9.6 mm, respectively; the corresponding distances for the lateral branch of the STN were 1.1 and 15.3 mm, respectively. CONCLUSION When performing surgery in the medial forehead region, the surgeon must ensure that the dissection plane of forehead tissue is more superficial: superiorly within 1.5 cm from the supraorbital margin and medially within 1.0 cm from the vertical line through the apex of lacrimal caruncle.

  • Topography of the supraorbital nerve with reference to the lacrimal caruncle: danger zone for direct browplasty
    The British journal of ophthalmology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Young-chun Gil, Kang-jae Shin, Shin-hyo Lee, Wu-chul Song, Ki-seok Koh, Hyun Jin Shin
    Abstract:

    Purpose To elucidate the course of the supraorbital nerve (SON) with reference to the lacrimal caruncle in order to facilitate safer direct browplasty by preventing nerve injury. Methods Thirty-four hemifaces from 18 embalmed Korean cadavers were dissected. A vertical line through the upmost point of the lacrimal caruncle and a horizontal line through the supraorbital margin were used as the horizontal and vertical reference positions, respectively. The course of the SON in the frontal view and the point at which it pierced the overlaying musculature were examined. Results The SON divides into a superficial branch and a deep branch just after exiting the orbit. In all cases, the deep SON remains in the subgaleal plane deep to the corrugator and frontalis muscles. The superficial SON travels under the corrugator muscle dividing into three branches (medial, intermediate and lateral) and pierced the frontalis muscle at 19–32 mm above the supraorbital margin. However, in 11 cases (32%) the medial branch of the superficial SON pierced the lower portion of the corrugator muscle at 3.6 mm above the supraorbital margin and ran in front of the muscle along with the vertical line through the upmost point of the lacrimal caruncle. Conclusions One-third of the medial branch of the superficial SON without corrugator muscle protection is vulnerable to iatrogenic injury during direct browplasty. Therefore, the oculofacial surgeon must bring the dissection plane of the forehead tissue more superficially around the vertical line through the upmost point of the lacrimal caruncle in order to avoid nerve injury.

  • emerging points of the supraorbital and supratrochlear nerves in the supraorbital margin with reference to the lacrimal caruncle implications for regional nerve block in upper eyelid and dermatologic surgery
    Dermatologic Surgery, 2016
    Co-Authors: Kang-jae Shin, Shin-hyo Lee, Wu-chul Song, Ki-seok Koh, Hyun Jin Shin, Young-chun Gil
    Abstract:

    BACKGROUND Blocking the supraorbital nerve (SON) and supratrochlear nerve (STN) by injecting anesthetic distal to the surgical site has the advantage in upper eyelid surgery that avoids obscuring the surgical landmarks and compromising the levator function. OBJECTIVE To identify the emerging points of the SON and STN in the supraorbital margin with reference to the lacrimal caruncle. METHODS Forty-nine orbits from 27 embalmed Korean cadavers were dissected. The lacrimal caruncle and facial midline were used as landmarks. The emerging points of the SON and STN in the supraorbital margin were determined. RESULTS The emerging points of the SON and STN were, respectively, located at 3.0 mm lateral and 3.3 mm medial to the vertical line through the apex of the lacrimal caruncle along the supraorbital margin. The horizontal distances from the facial midline to the emerging points of the SON and STN were 22.8 and 15.2 mm, respectively. CONCLUSION The optimum sites for achieving SON and STN block are, respectively, located approximately 3 mm lateral and 3 mm medial to the vertical line through the apex of lacrimal caruncle along the supraorbital margin. This knowledge will help the surgeon achieve an easy and accurate approach for regional nerve block.

  • mitomycin c in sebaceous gland carcinoma with pagetoid spread
    British Journal of Ophthalmology, 2004
    Co-Authors: Krishna Tumuluri, Georgina Kourt, P Martin
    Abstract:

    Sebaceous gland carcinoma is a rare eyelid tumour comprising less than 1% of all eyelid malignancies.1 It commonly arises from the meibomian glands of the tarsus, but may also arise from the glands of Zeis or from the sebaceous glands of caruncle.2 It can present in a nodular or diffuse infiltrative form. The latter form with intraepithelial (pagetoid) invasion has poor prognosis as a result of delay in diagnosis as well as more extensive involvement of ocular tissues. Topical application of mitomycin C, a non-cell cycle specific alkylating agent, has been advocated for pagetoid spread of sebaceous gland carcinoma.3 We report the use of mitomycin C as adjuvant therapy in a patient with completely excised sebaceous gland carcinoma and pagetoid …
