A 20-year-old male soldier was hit by the jellyfish. The ophthalmic examination revealed that epithelial keratitis and corneal oedema in the right eye. We prescribed 3% NaCl eyedrops and 0.3% Norfloxacin eyedrops in the treatment of the corneal jellyfish stings. Two weeks later, the cornea in the right eye healed. In this case report, 3% NaCl eyedrops was effective in the treatment of acute phase of jellyfish stings of the cornea.

Background: With increasing numbers of human-animal interactions, there has been an increase in animal-related injuries. While canine bites are the most commonly reported animal injury, little data exists in regard to the other classes of animals, particularly marine life. The last comprehensive report on injuries related to noncanine bites and stings seen in emergency departments (EDs) across the US was between 2011 and 2015.

The development of skin-protective materials that prevent the adhesion of cnidarian nematocysts and enhance the mechanical strength of these materials is crucial for addressing the issue of jellyfish stings. This study aimed to construct superhydrophobic nanomaterials capable of creating a surface that inhibits nematocyst adhesion, therefore preventing jellyfish stings. We investigated wettability and nematocyst adhesion on four different surfaces: gelatin, polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), dodecyl trichlorosilane (DTS)-modified SiO, and perfluorooctane triethoxysilane (PFOTS)-modified TiO.

Jellyfish stings can trigger abrupt heart failure via toxins, leading acute mortality rise. Proposed mechanisms involve oxidative stress and apoptosis, but evidence for effective treatments is lacking. To explore the concrete molecular mechanisms of jellyfish toxin-induced cardiotoxicity and to explore effective therapeutic approaches, we established tentacle extract (TE) of jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai induced cardiotoxicity models in vivo and in vitro based Intelligent Character Recognition (ICR) mice and H9C2 cells, respectively,.

Article Synopsis
- Biofouling communities were studied at two salmon farms in British Columbia, examining various organisms like mollusks, arthropods, and hydroids from April to October 2020.
- Water quality parameters and jellyfish numbers were also measured, revealing different correlations with biofouling counts and jellyfish at the two sites.
- Understanding these correlations can help in creating better strategies to manage biofouling and jellyfish populations in aquaculture settings.
Pulsed dye laser in jellyfish-induced keloids.
J Cosmet Laser Ther

Dermatology Department, IRCCS Istituto Giannina Gaslini, Genova, Italy.
Jellyfish stings can cause acute inflammatory skin lesions that may hesitate in keloids. Pulsed dye laser (PDL) represents one of the most effective treatments for newly developed keloids. Aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of PDL on newly developed keloids specifically induced by jellyfish stings in pediatric patients.
