Fatal exsanguination following complete transection of femoral vessels due to angle grinder injury in an industrial accident.

Angle grinders are one of the most dangerous and frequently used tools in industrial settings. Angle grinder injuries range from superficial cuts to deep penetrating injuries with underlying fracture-dislocation and vascular trauma. The injuries caused by angle grinders mostly involve the head, face, or upper limbs, while the lower limb is an unusual site.

Geochemical characterisation and geostatistical evaluation of groundwater suitability: a case study in Perambalur District, Tamil Nadu, India.

Groundwater is a naturally occurring potential source for drinking, irrigation, agricultural and industrial purposes. The population growth and accelerated development of industries and agriculture activity degrade groundwater quality. The groundwater quality of an area was determined by the physical and chemical parameters, influenced by geology, soil, land use, land cover and anthropogenic activities.

Clinical utility of ultrasonography, pulse oximetry and arterial line derived hemodynamic parameters for predicting post-induction hypotension in patients undergoing elective craniotomy for excision of brain tumors - A prospective observational study.

Background: Hypotension, which is a common adverse effect of induction of anesthesia, may be especially detrimental in neurosurgical patients. Hence, it is important to investigate hemodynamic parameters which may be useful in identifying patients at risk of hypotension, following induction. Our study was designed to assess the utility of parameters derived from ultrasonography, pulse oximeter and arterial line for predicting post-induction hypotension.
