Closed Digital Artery Injury in Children: A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Pediatr Emerg Care

From the Division of Plastic Surgery, McGill University Health Centre, Montreal Children's Hospital, Montreal, Canada.

Published: April 2020

Closed digital artery injury is a very rare phenomenon, even more so in children, with only 5 cases reported in the literature. We report a case of closed digital arterial interruption in a child after crush injury to the left hand. We further discuss possible etiologies and describe adequate management as found in the pertinent literature. Digital arterial injury should be suspected even in closed hand trauma because a delay in recognition may lead to devastating consequences.

A Spiropyran-Based Hydrogel Composite for Wearable Detectors to Monitor Visible Light Intensity to Prevent Myopia.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

January 2025

Key Laboratory of Advanced Textile Materials & Manufacturing Technology, Ministry of Education, Zhejiang Sci-Tech University, 928 Second Avenue, 310018 Hangzhou, China.

A wearable detector to monitor visible light intensity is realized by the restrained photochromism of a hydrogel composite containing light-responsive spiropyran with hydroxyl groups (SPOH). When exposed to visible light, the SPOH experiences a ring-opening to a ring-closed transition accompanied by discoloration from red to yellow. Unlike in the solution, the photochromism/discoloration rate is strongly correlated to the cross-linking points.
