Contusion

Soft Tissue Injuries. Some of the more common soft tissue injuries are sprains, strains, contusions, tendonitis, bursitis, and stress injuries, caused by damaged tendons, muscles, and ligaments. A sprain is a soft tissue injury to the ligaments. Certain sprains are often associated with small fractures. This type of injury is normally associated with a localized trauma event. The severity of the sprain depends on how much of the ligament is torn and to what extent the ligament is detached from the bone. The areas of the human body that are most vulnerable to sprains are ankles, knees, and wrists. 

A contusion is an injury to soft tissue in which the skin is not penetrated, but swelling of broken blood vessels causes a bmise. The bmise is caused by a blow of excessive force to muscle, tendon, or ligament tissue. A bmise, also known as a hematoma, is caused when blood coagulates around the injury causing swelling and discoloring skin. Most contusions are mild and respond well to rest, ice, compression, and elevation of the injured area.

Classical examples of anti-inflammatory Asteraceae are Arnica montana and Calendula officinalis, both used in European medicine to treat bruises and contusions. There is an expanding body of evidences to suggest that Asteraceae could be a useful source of anti-inflammatories, such as sesquiterpene lactones and/or triterpene alcohols, the latter being known to inhibit 12-O-tetra-decanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced inflammation in mice as efficiently as commercial indomethacine by possible inhibition of phospholipase A2 (10). 

The follicles are used to treat asthma and cough and to mitigate painful swollen breasts. A paste of the leave is applied to contusion. Essential oil distilled from the follicles induced apoptotic death in HepG2 human hepatoma cells in a concentration- and time-related manner, and inhibited tumor development of mice inoculated with Huh-7 human hepatoma cells (33). 

A post-mortem examination and a rectal temperature of 41°C (106°F) were recorded. He had needle marks typical of intravenous drug abuse and pulmonary and cerebral edema. Abrasions and contusions of the ankles and wrists were evident from his struggling. Lidocaine was not administered to the victim during the resuscitative attempts. The clinical presentation of cocaine delirium...

Ayers and Stahl studied the ballistics of pen guns loaded with CS. When the gun was fired from a distance of 7.5 cm, no damage to the skin or underlying tissues of rabbits occured. At a distance of 2.5 cm, contusions and small lacerations of the skin were, observed.

Historical Notice.—For the historical notice of asafeetida, the Editor is also indebted to Dr. Pereira, who has collected from many sources the following —It is uncertain at what period asafoetida was first known or described. - The difficulty in determining its history arises from the contusion which has existed with respect to tho Sttoens Cyrsnaicns and asafeetida. By many writers the two substances were considered to be identical but this opinion seems now to have been satisfactorily disproved by the discovery of the plant... 

CARBORANE. A cry stalline compound composed of boron, carbon, and hydrogen. It can be synthesized in various ways, chiefly by the reaction of a borane (penta-or deca-) with acetylene, either at high temperature in the gas phase or in the presence of a Lewis base. Alkylated derivatives have been prepared. Carborancs have different structural and chemical characteristics and should not be conTused with hydrocarbon derivatives or boron hydrides. The predominant structures arc the cage type, the nest type, and the web type, these terms being descriptive of the arrangement of atoms in the crystals. Active research on cargorane chemistry has been conducted under sponsorship of the U.S. Office of Naval Research, http //www.onr.navy.mil/...
