Acid burns, resulting from ingestion of the acid. Note the burns to the mouth and the spill pattern on the face and chest. These are significantly different from thermal-type burn patterns and injuries.
Note the spill pattern on the anterior chest and abdomen of the decedent from the previous image.
Burns from the acid, on the tongue, hypopharynx, and airway. Burns extended down esophageal tract, though esophagus was considerably less burned than remainder of upper GI tract.
Acid injury extending through the viscera and onto the pleural surface exposing the ribs of the deceased.
Coagulation necrosis of the solid organs from the acid ingestion of the decedent.
Sulphuric acid is often not a quick death, and can cause delayed tissue perforation and necrosis up to a week after exposure. Exposure of tissues to strong acids can cause coagulation burns, and destruction of epithelial tissue and submucosa. The acid is not known to have systemic effects, and is only locally active, meaning that any neurological symptoms experienced are a direct result of the pain caused by tissue destruction.
When a patient survives the initial ingestion of sulfuric acid, swelling of the pharynx and continuing destruction of the GI tract are primary concerns. Many cases require surgery to remove or repair perforated areas in intestine and stomach. Metabolic acidosis is also a key concern in treating patients of acid ingestion, as it can lead to ventricular arrhythmias, as well as organ damage.
Sorry guys for my last post.
Was super sleepy and didn't see how low quality the pics were

This video demonstrate Laparoscopic Salpingotomy for ectopic pregnancy. Linear incision is made on antimesenteric side of ampullary portion of fallopian tube. At this time, the pregnancy usually protrudes out of the incision and may slip out of the tube. Laparoscopic picture of ampullary ectopic pregnancy protruding after linear salpingostomy was performed.
In selective cases, operative laparoscopic salpingectomy is an alternative to laparotomy in the surgical treatment of ectopic pregnancy. The obvious advantages of this procedure are decreased morbidity and surgical pain, lower cost, shorter hospitalization and convalescence, and less disability, as well as a cosmetic surgical scar. Because the procedure is so cost-effective, and since the tools are familiar to most gynecologists, we hope it will gain wider utilization. Laparoscopic salpingectomy is not a difficult procedure when the basic principles of surgery are followed. Depending on the fertility desires of the patient and the condition of the opposite tube, this procedure may be preferable to laparotomy. If a complication such as bleeding does occur and fails to respond to cauterization, laparotomy can be done as usual for an ectopic pregnancy.

Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is a rare, inherited, popliteal pterygium syndrome (see this term) characterized by severe popliteal webbing, microcephaly, a typical face with short palpebral fissures, ankyloblepharon, hypoplastic nose, filiform bands between the jaws and facial clefts, oligosyndactyly, genital abnormalities, and additional ectodermal anomalies (i.e. absent hair, eyebrows, lashes, nails). It is often fatal in the neonatal period, but patients living until childhood have been reported.
