  • Transtympanic facial nerve injury in welders
    Occupational Medicine, 1994
    Co-Authors: M. S. Panosian, P. O. Dutcher
    Abstract:

    The risk for Ear injury from molten metal or hot sparks produced during welding procedures is small, but the effects can be significant. Burns, tympanic membrane perforations and chronic otorrhoea are the most common results. Rare cases of inner Ear injury and facial nerve paralysis have also been reported. Two cases recently encountered at our institution highlight the risk that exists for facial nerve injury. One patient suffered a significant facial nerve injury and deafness, while the other had a transient facial paresis. The injuries occurred when molten metal (slag) and a hot spark fell into the Ear canal while welding. Neither subject was using Ear Protection at the time. These two cases are presented to highlight the rare but significant hazard of transtympanic facial nerve injury that exists during welding procedures. The use of Ear Protection is strongly advocated during welding operations that place the Ear at risk. Language: en

  • facial nerve paralysis from slag injury to the Ear
    Archives of Otolaryngology-head & Neck Surgery, 1993
    Co-Authors: M. S. Panosian, John W Wayman, P. O. Dutcher
    Abstract:

    • Transtympanic facial nerve paralysis resulting from a penetrating injury through the external auditory canal is a rare occurrence. The common mechanism of paralysis is direct fracture or penetration of the fallopian canal. Slag injuries of the Ear caused by hot sparks or molten metal are well known to otolaryngologists because they often result in chronic tympanic membrane perforations and chronic otorrhea. We have encountered two unusual cases of transtympanic slag injury to the Ear that resulted in facial nerve injury. In one patient, a significant inner Ear injury also occurred. A pathophysiologic mechanism of thermal injury is proposed, and the use of Ear Protection in welders is discussed. ( Arch Otolaryngol Head Neck Surg. 1993;119:548-550)

  • instance segmentation of personal protective equipment using a multi stage transfer lEarning process
    Systems Man and Cybernetics, 2020
    Co-Authors: Thomas Truong, Aakash Bhatt, Leonardo Queiroz, Kenneth Lai, Svetlana Yanushkevich
    Abstract:

    This paper focuses on the instance segmentation of soft attributes on humans such as clothing and personal protective equipment at a hazardous workplace. We propose the use of soft biometric object classes from the Open Images V5 and DeepFashion2 datasets to pre-train a mask segmentation network to detect and segment personal protective equipment in the workplace. Preliminary results of our proposed model achieves a mean average precision, mAP 50 , of 61.7% with minimal optimization, resulting in very good segmentation of construction helmets, high visibility vests, welding masks, and Ear Protection in the workplace. Applications of the results from this paper include improving workplace safety in hazardous industries by providing a tool to ensure proper personal protective equipment usage while maintaining worker anonymity.
