    Modeling Skin Injury from Hot Rice Porridge Spills.
    Int J Environ Res Public Health 2018 Apr 20;15(4). Epub 2018 Apr 20.
    Department of Engineering, Western Norway University of Applied Sciences, 5528 Haugesund, Norway.
    The present work analyzes skin burns from spills of hot rice and milk products. The traditional Norwegian rice porridge serves as an example. By testing spills on objects emulating an arm, it was concluded that spills were seldom thinner than 3 mm, and stayed in place due to the viscosity of the porridge for more than one minute. Read More

    Curr Pediatr Rev 2018 Apr 11. Epub 2018 Apr 11.
    Department of Pediatrics, Schulich School of Medicine, Western University. Canada.
    It is important for physicians treating children to be aware of unique presentation that require expertise and knowledge. Two areas of importance when caring for traumatized children are Thermal Burn Injuries, and Hypothermia. Burns commonly result in morbidity in children; as such, the appropriate identification of the severity of the burn and appropriate management are integral to minimize the complications of burns during the acute phase.

    Potential Point of Care Testing for Dengue Virus in the Field.
    J Clin Microbiol 2018 Mar 7. Epub 2018 Mar 7.
    Program on Emerging Infectious Diseases, Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School, Singapore.
    The four serotypes of dengue virus (DENV) cause one of the most important and rapidly emerging mosquito-borne viral diseases in humans. Of the currently available diagnostic tests for dengue, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay is the most sensitive and specific, and so it is commonly used as the gold standard test. However, the requirement of a sophisticated and expensive thermal cycler makes it very difficult to be a point-of-care diagnostic test in resource-limited regions where dengue is endemic. Read More

    Viable placental allograft as a biological dressing in the clinical management of full-thickness thermal occupational burns: Two case reports.
    Medicine (Baltimore) 2017 Dec;96(49):e9045
