Cases of skin cancer and chronic ulceration have also been reported on previously frostbitten areas 15,16,38 . When sustained before physeal closure, frostbite can result in permanent bone, joint, and physeal damage (Fig.…”

Introduction Frostbite in the pediatric population, where skeletal maturity has not been achieved, can have important repercussions on subsequent growth. Yet, the optimal management of frostbite injuries in children remains vague. This review aims to summarize the current evidence for frostbite management in children and understand Canadian practice trends on this topic. Methods A review using Medline, Scopus, Web of Science, and gray literature was performed to identify relevant literature on the clinical manifestations, diagnostic methods, and treatment options in pediatric frostbite. An online survey was sent to plastic surgeons through the Canadian Society of Plastic Surgeons (CSPS) mailing list to further identify national practices and trends for pediatric frostbite management. Results A total of 109 articles were reviewed. No article provided a specific algorithm for pediatric frostbite, with existing recommendations suggesting the use of adult guidelines for treating children. Our survey yielded 9 responses and highlighted the rarity of pediatric frostbite cases, with no responder treating more than 10 cases per year. Most (55.6%) do not use a pediatric-specific treatment algorithm, whereas 30% apply adult guidelines. A conservative approach focusing on rewarming (55.6%), limb elevation (50%), and tetanus status verification (66.7%) was predominant. Imaging and surgical interventions seem to be reserved for severe cases. Conclusions The current literature for pediatric frostbite management lacks specificity. Canadian practices vary, with a trend toward a conservative approach. The limited evidence and rarity of experience highlight the need for further research, ideally in a collaborative multicentric manner, to create a consensus for pediatric frostbite care.

“…Eine Kasuistik beschreibt die Entstehung von weißem Hautkrebs auf einer durch Erfrierung vorgeschädigten Haut in einer Gruppe von 3 Patienten, wobei in 2 Fällen ein Plattenepithelkarzinom diagnostiziert wurde [8], nicht jedoch die Entstehung einer Sarkoidose auf dem Boden dieser Schädigung. Häufiger beschrieben ist ein Zusammenhang zwischen thermischer Verbrennung und Malignität, wobei ein Review über Neoplasien in Brandnarben zeigte, dass das Plattenepithelkarzinom mit 71 % die häufigste Tumorart bei dieser Art der physikalischen Vorschädigung darstellte [9].…”

ZusammenfassungAktuell gibt es keine Beschreibung eines kombinierten Auftretens von kutaner Sarkoidose, genauer eines Lupus pernio, einer durch Erfrierung vorgeschädigten Haut sowie eines Plattenepithelkarzinoms im selben Hautareal. Anhand unserer Kasuistik möchten wir einige Charakteristika der unterschiedlichen Effloreszenzen darstellen, hierbei auch anhand aktueller dermatologischer Bildgebungsverfahren wie der optischen Kohärenztomografie (OCT) und der Line-field konfokalen optischen Kohärenztomografie (LC-OCT). Durch die Evaluation des Patientenverlaufs möchten wir auf eine mögliche Inkludierung der Verfahren in die klinische Routine hinweisen, um sowohl Diagnostik als auch Therapie zu erleichtern. Da es sich um eine seltene Symptomkonstellation handelt, soll unsere Fallbeschreibung weiterhin den Therapieerfolg einer multimodalen topischen und systemischen Therapie verdeutlichen.

“…Cold injuries can result in long-term changes in muscle, skin, nails, ligaments, and bones [ 13 ]. Limited evidence suggests an association between frostbite scars and non-melanoma skin cancers [ 14 ]. Neurologic complications (neuralgia, paresthesia in the extremities, sensations of hot or cold) and vascular injuries (e.g., Reynaud’s phenomenon) can also be long-term sequelae.…”

Primary Care Considerations for Elderly U.S. Veterans of World War II and the Korean War: A Narrative Review

Many of the United States' more than 18 million veterans obtain healthcare through the Department of Veterans Affairs' (VA) Veterans Health Administration system; however, recent legislative changes have expanded veterans' access to non-VA care in their communities, particularly for those who do not live near VA medical centers. Veterans are seen by physicians in outpatient practice across the United States and are admitted to non-VA hospitals; this is particularly salient for older veterans, who may require a more frequent and high level of care. We present a review of characteristics of U.S. veterans from two conflicts: World War II (WWII) and the Korean War. While non-VA clinicians are well equipped to provide care for patients of all different ages, veterans of armed conflicts have a unique constellation of exposures and cultural considerations that must be accounted for when providing them care. In this review, we describe characteristics of the generations of American veterans who served in WWII and the Korean War conflicts in a brief historical context. We then note conflict-specific exposures and potential long-term sequelae to watch for during physical examinations and to monitor thereafter, age-specific health and emotional concerns, and best practices for providing care to this cohort of veterans.
