Tot's skin 'peeled off' after pouring mug of scalding tea on himself in horrific accident
A mum whose toddler suffered severe burns after accidentally pulling a mug of hot tea onto himself has spoken of her horror.
Due to the age of the youngster and extent of the burn Quinn was rushed to the Sick Kids in Edinburgh, where he endured months of painful dressing changes and treatment to heal the burn. "Fortunately, the vest had an envelope-style neck so I quickly pulled it down to his waist. I could see that he had been badly burnt – the top layers of his skin were peeling off and blistering and the whole area was bright pink."
"Thankfully, when we told our GP practice about the extent of his burn and Quinn’s age, they insisted on referring us to paediatric A&E at the Royal Hospital for Children & Young People in Edinburgh." She said: "After many appointments and visits for dressing changes, Quinn’s arm has now healed well, although he will always have scarring.

Impact of skin tone on photoacoustic oximetry and tools to minimize biasThe major optical absorbers in tissue are melanin and oxy/deoxy-hemoglobin, but the impact of skin tone and pigmentation on biomedical optics is still not completely understood or adequately addressed. Melanin largely governs skin tone with higher melanin concentration in subjects with darker skin tones. Recently, there has been extensive debate on the bias of pulse oximeters when used with darker subjects. Photoacoustic (PA) imaging can measure oxygen saturation similarly as pulse oximeters and could have value in studying this bias. More importantly, it can deconvolute the signal from the skin and underlying tissue. Here, we studied the impact of skin tone on PA signal generation, depth penetration, and oximetry. Our results show that subjects with darker skin tones exhibit significantly higher PA signal at the skin surface, reduced penetration depth, and lower oxygen saturation compared to subjects with lighter skin tones. We then suggest a simple way to compensate for these signal differences.
