An unusual case of gardening ocular injury during Covid-19 lockdown

NTRODUCTION: Facial trauma are an important cause of serious ocular morbidity. In particular domestic trauma are a small part of total. COVID-19 pandemic has been influencing our life in a way never seen before, people need to remain at home due to lockdown restrictions. In this scenario we are seeing an increase in the percentage of domestic facial trauma. In other hand pandemic has influenced the possibility of hospitalization, so daily based procedures increased their importance in global treatment planning. CASE PRESENTATION: A 58 yo man presented to our ward with a foreign body in left eyebrow. Trauma happened during gardening. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: The importance of imaging to perform the right procedure has become more important during pandemic to reduce time of hospitalization. CONCLUSION: CT scan and ophtalmology consult have been the guideline to avoid a more invasive treat- ment which was performed in an outpatient regimen with local anesthesia

Complications and management after a nonsurgical rhinoplasty: A literature review

Nonsurgical rhinoplasty with injectable fillers has become an increasingly popular option in recent years. Their rise in popularity has been driven by a number of factors, including their minimally invasive nature and the cost lower than surgical option. Physicians should keep in mind that there are many possible complications, especially in the hands of a novice injector. Fortunately, most complications are minor and transient in nature, although the patient may consider them aesthetically displeasing and unacceptable. Major complications are rare; however, an inadequate treatment can produce transient to permanent damage for the patient. A review of the medical literature from 2002 was performed to gather information on main complications after nasal injections using the databases of the National Library of Medicine, Ovid MEDLINE, and Cochrane Library. Understanding the basic anatomical knowledge of the midface, especially the vascular system, is fundamental to prevent the appearance of complications. However, recognize immediately the symptoms and know the correct treatment in case of complications is the only way to minimize permanent bad outcome

The skin rejuvenation associated treatment-Fraxel laser, Microbotox, and low G prime hyaluronic acid: preliminary results

Minimally invasive facial rejuvenation procedures reached an all-time high in the 2016. This reveals a growing interest in a smoother, younger, and tighter look accessible using the esthetic medicine tools like botulinum toxin and dermal filler injections, laser, and microdermabrasion. Forty-five patients from 35 to 52 years old (medium age 43.8), 38 women and 7 men underwent 5 sessions of Fraxel laser, 1 session of very low G prime HA, and Microbotox injection treatments from January 2016 and January 2017, were included in this study. In this study, we demonstrated that the usage of three treatments together, like mBTX, Volite, and Fractional laser, have a better result despite every single technique alone. The clinical result showed 98% (44 patients, 6 males, 38 females) of the patients had a smoother skin surface, brighter, more hydrated, and elastic skin; 68% of our patients (31 patients, 5 males, 26 females) showed less skin defects and staining as well as less small wrinkles, thanks to Fraxel laser treatment; 98% (44 patients, 6 males, 38 females) showed tighter skin with less sebaceous gland secretion. The aim of this study was to demonstrate that the combination of three techniques acts better and faster than single treatment to contrast facial aging and to improve skin texture and quality

Nonsurgical genioplasty

Chin contributes to facial balance and harmony. Appropriate treatment of aesthetic deformities of the will often improves the appearance of the mouth, lips, and nose. Augmentation of the chin can be performed with injectable fillers or autologous fat, placement of an alloplastic chin implant, or with chin's bony osteotomy. Determining the best procedure for a patient requires careful consideration of his anatomy, as well as the risks and benefits of each treatment. Fillers offer a nonsurgical, nonpermanent method of correction of chin retrusion in the appropriate patient

The James Webb Space Telescope Mission

Twenty-six years ago a small committee report, building on earlier studies, expounded a compelling and poetic vision for the future of astronomy, calling for an infrared-optimized space telescope with an aperture of at least $4m$. With the support of their governments in the US, Europe, and Canada, 20,000 people realized that vision as the $6.5m$ James Webb Space Telescope. A generation of astronomers will celebrate their accomplishments for the life of the mission, potentially as long as 20 years, and beyond. This report and the scientific discoveries that follow are extended thank-you notes to the 20,000 team members. The telescope is working perfectly, with much better image quality than expected. In this and accompanying papers, we give a brief history, describe the observatory, outline its objectives and current observing program, and discuss the inventions and people who made it possible. We cite detailed reports on the design and the measured performance on orbit.Comment: Accepted by PASP for the special issue on The James Webb Space Telescope Overview, 29 pages, 4 figure

Frontal bone hyperostotic mass associated with fibrous dysplasia in a male patient with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)

: We present a rare clinical report of a 45-year-old man affected by Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) with a unilateral mass of the left frontal bone, diagnosed as a possible recurrence of fibrous dysplasia. This patient was evaluated with computed tomography (CT scan) and was treated with resection of the mass and reconstruction with splitting a calvarian bone graft. The pathological evidence was suggestive for a bone cavernous haemangioma. No previously described cases of bone dysplasia associated with this systemic syndrome were reported so far. Patient's disease was under stringent control at the time of hospitalization, and the outcome has been successful, even though a mild increase of inflammatory indexes was reported after surgery. This laboratory evidence was transient and not related to further clinical complications

Safety of sports facilities and training of graduates in physical education

Post-industrial societies have to face the problem of physical inactivity and inappropriate lifestyles. Programs to promote physical activity are strongly supported by supranational, national and local institutions and organizations. These programs can be developed in sport facilities but also in places that are not institutionally dedicated to sport. The use of urban and working sites has the advantage of better reach the various segments of the population, but at the same time requires coordination between various professionals in structuring an effective intervention

Red Beetroot’s NMR-Based Metabolomics: Phytochemical Profile Related to Development Time and Production Year

Red beetroot (RB) is a well-known health-promoting food consumed worldwide. RB is commonly used in food processing and manufacturing thanks to the high content of components that can also be employed as natural coloring agents. These bioactive molecules vary their concentration depending on beetroot seasonality, harvest time and climate conditions. The first objective of this study was to evaluate the variation of the RB phytochemical profile related to the root development during three different harvest times, using an 1H-NMR-based metabolomic approach. Changes of carbohydrates and secondary metabolite concentrations were observed from July to September. Secondly, we compared the metabolic profiles of the final processed beet juices in three different production years to observe the effect of climate conditions on the RB’s final product metabotype. A PCA analysis performed on juice extracts showed that production years 2016 and 2017 were characterized by a high content of choline and betaine, while 2018 by a high content of amino acids and dopamine and a low content of inorganic nitrates. This study suggests that the harvest time and roots growth conditions could be used to modulate the RB phytochemical profile, according to the final requirements of use, food or coloring agent source
