Everyone has used homemade pimple drainage at some point in their lives, particularly in their adolescent and early adult years. However, pimple drainage should always be considered a mild medical procedure, especially in cases where the patient has serious skin diseases. We present the case of a 22-year-old female patient who, in the course of her routine, made a home pimple drainage that resulted in periorbital cellulitis and a septic embolism, despite the fact that these types of clinical cases are uncommon in routine medical practice. This case emphasizes how crucial it is to identify periorbital cellulitis early and treat it appropriately in order to stop a septic embolism from developing.

There is concern about positive feedbacks between climate change and methane (CH4) emission from rice paddies. However, appropriate water management may mitigate the problem. We tested this hypothesis at six field sites in central Thailand, where the irrigated area is rapidly increasing.

A 45-year-old man complained of pain and swelling on his right wrist after receiving a scratch while playing paintball in a swampy area of eastern Virginia. Two weeks later, he noticed a pimple-like lesion developing, which quickly grew in size and then ulcerated. Because of the severity of his condition, the patient was taken to the emergency room where surgical drainage of the abscess was carried out and the pus was sent for culture and sensitivity testing.

This work presents a generalized lubrication approximation of the drainage and relaxation of thin liquid films with tangentially mobile surfaces. The proposed model accounts for the dynamic effects and the role of surface forces of intermolecular origin. The van der Waals and hydrophobic attractive and the electrostatic and steric repulsive components of the disjoining pressure are included in the numerical calculations of the dynamics and relaxation of one-dimensional films.
