We made an in vitro model of a wooden foreign body using both fresh and dry pine wood in both fat and soft-tissue background mediums. Air/wood/background medium interfaces were studied with MR and CT to determine which method provided the best image contrast for detecting a wooden foreign body. CT was demonstrated to be superior to MR in the evaluation of the orbit in the in vitro model.

Intra-orbital organic foreign body injuries occur within the eye but without the involvement of the orbit itself. A 39-year-old man self-presented to the emergency department complaining of sudden onset of pain surrounding his left eye and of reduced vision. The initial examination was unremarkable except for two healing lesion marks above his left upper eyelid.

Alginate biopolymer is widely employed in many industrial fields thanks to its pleasing features of biodegradability, biocompatibility, low toxicity, and relatively low cost. The gelling process of alginate with divalent cations is fairly simple and thus it is used as a versatile biomaterial to tailor the desired mechanical and moisture properties. This study focused on developing new gel formulations to enhance the properties of calcium-alginate hydrogel (CA).

Background: Penetrating orbital trauma from a wooden foreign object is rare and challenging to identify, as it cannot be detected with a computed tomography (CT) scan. This report highlights the clinical presentation, diagnosis, and management of such a case.
Case Description: A 19-year-old female experienced penetrating orbital trauma from a wooden object following a traffic accident.

Background: Microsurgery is crucial in neurosurgery, requiring precise skills for interventions on delicate structures. Effective training is essential for developing these skills. In Peru and Latin America, however, there is a notable shortage of specialized training centers and high costs associated with foreign simulators, hindering the development of neurosurgical skills.
