Continuous Invariant-Based Maps of the Cambridge Structural Database.

The Cambridge Structural Database (CSD) played a key role in the recently established crystal isometry principle (CRISP). The CRISP says that any real periodic crystal is uniquely determined as a rigid structure by the geometry of its atomic centers without atomic types. Ignoring atomic types allows us to study all periodic crystals in a common space whose continuous nature is justified by the continuity of real-valued coordinates of atoms.

Bromelain-based enzymatic debridement of e-cigarette burns: a single unit experience.

Objective: It is widely accepted that the early debridement of burns improves outcome. There is increasing evidence that enzymatic debridement is an effective technique for removal of full-thickness and deep-dermal burns, reducing blood loss and often the need for autologous skin grafting by avoiding over excision of the burn. We aim to highlight the potential use of this form of debridement as an alternative to surgical management in patients with electronic cigarette (e-cigarette)-associated flame burn injuries.

E-cigarette burn injuries: Comprehensive review and management guidelines proposal.

Introduction: Electronic cigarettes (EC) have been reported to be associated with burns secondary to explosions of the device or battery, or contact from overheating, resulting in flame, contact or chemical burns. In addition to this, there have also been reported cases of soft tissue and bony trauma with or without associated burns. Using collective evidence, this review aims to summarise all reported burns associated with ECs, and its implications on immediate management with a particular focus on surgical treatment.
