Unusual complications after occupational exposure to giant hogweed (Heracleum mantegazzianum): A case report

Exposure to giant hogweed brings about the risk of serious skin damage, usually in the form of phytophotodermatitis. Initially, skin changes are signaled by a burning sensation, followed by a vesiculobullous rash and long-term hyperpigmentation. Usually, skin disorders improve after the application of topical and oral corticosteroids. In extremely rare instances, full skin thickness burns or epidermal necrosis occur. The study presents a case of occupational exposure to hogweed, which resulted in extensive skin lesions leading to the disablement of a 27-year-old man. The principles of procedure to be followed when contact with giant hogweed is an occupational hazard are also outlined

Acetabular measurements in normal children and Perthes' disease at the onset of the affection and during the course of the illness

A simple radiological procedure to evaluate the acetabular depth in the growing hip, is proposed. These measurements were applied to 600 normal hip radiographies, and a standard curve, reflecting the deepening of the acetabulum in normal boys and girls is established. The same parameter was studied in 91 cases of unilateral Perthes' disease, in the affected and the non-affected hip, at the onset and during disease, and its significance is discussed.SCOPUS: ar.jinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishe
