Awareness of residents' technical ability can affect margin status in breast conserving operations.

Purpose: The current study was performed to determine if awareness of the potential affect of residents could affect margin status.

Methods: Retrospective review of all patients who underwent lumpectomy from July 2006 to May 2017 was evaluated. The effect of surgical residents' participation and their technical ability was evaluated to determine the effect on margin status.

Lemons in the Arizona Sunshine: The Effects of Furocoumarins Leading to Phytophotodermatitis and Burn-like Injuries.

Introduction: Phytophototoxic dermatitis is a strong phototoxic reaction to ultraviolet A (UV-A) radiation exposure after cutaneous contact with citrus fruit containing furocoumarins, leading to skin injury. At the Arizona Burn Center (Phoenix, AZ), the majority of these injuries are managed in the outpatient setting.

Case Report: The authors present a pediatric admission for burn-like injuries following prolonged cutaneous exposure to lemons while playing in the Arizona sunshine.

Antenna coupling explains unintended thermal injury caused by common operating room monitoring devices.

Introduction: Unintended thermal injury from patient monitoring devices (eg, electrocardiogram pads, neuromonitoring leads) results in third-degree burns. A mechanism for these injuries is not clear. The monopolar "bovie" emits radiofrequency energy that transfers to nearby, nonelectrically active cables or wires without direct contact by capacitive and antenna coupling.
