Barotrauma - Any of several disorders arising from changes in pressure upon the
body. Several complications arising from
changes in pressure are commonly known as squeezes.
Burns
Craniocerebral Trauma -
The concussive and shearing stresses of head injury may
cause concussion (a brief loss of consciousness without permanent consequences),
contusion of the brain (most often of the tips of the frontal and temporal
lobes, called contre-coup injury), or laceration of the brain tissue. In the
last two cases, neurological deficits are detected at the time of injury, and
with laceration (as in a depressed fracture of the skull) or bleeding into the
brain, the eventual incidence of seizures is high.
Electric Injuries
Frostbite -
It occurs whenever heat loss from a tissue is sufficient to permit ice
formation. The freezing-thawing process causes mechanical damage to cells (from
ice), tissue dehydration, and local oxygen depletion. It leads to disruption of the blood corpuscles, thrombosis (clotting)
within the small blood vessels, and tissue gangrene.
Injury
Occupational Diseases - Any illness associated with a particular occupation or industry.
Spinal Cord Injuries
Wounds, Penetrating and Non-penetrating
