Tissue Series

These pieces are made of Japanese mulberry paper and the gilded edges of old books. They are constructed by a technique of rolling and shaping narrow strips of paper called quilling or paper filigree. Quilling was first practiced by Renaissance nuns and monks who are said to have made artistic use of the gilded edges of worn out bibles, and later by 18th century ladies who made artistic use of lots of free time.

Surgical steps for treatment of entropion and trichiasis

This patient has entropion (an in-turned eyelid) and trichiasis (a condition where the eyelashes are misdirected and grow inwards towards the eye - frequently but not always accompanying entropion).

The original captions from the National Museum of Health state that this patient had conjunctivitis (swelling of the conjunctiva, the mucous membrane that lines the front of the eye and inside of the eyelids), keratitis (swelling of the cornea), and the entire set of symptoms was secondary to trachoma.

Trachoma is caused by Chlamidia trachomatis, and is also known as “blinding trachoma”, for its often-devastating results when left untreated. Since it often manifests as just an irritating itchy affliction at the start, if people don’t have the opportunity to seek help early on, the condition can permanently scar the retina before they ever get treated.

This is also one of the earliest recorded eye afflictions, recorded in Egypt between 20 and 10 BCE. For a long time, it was endemic to much of the world, but with the advent of antibiotics, regions with organized governments and healthcare systems have gone a long way towards eliminating it. The United States, most of Europe, and India have had concerted efforts to eliminate the condition, but it still affects between 50 - 80 million people, and at least 2 million (possibly up to 8 million) are permanently blinded due to the condition.

The patient shown here is from the 20th General Hospital, located in Ledo, India, during WWII.

Position in extracting a tooth from the right upper jaw.

Fun with dentistry!

There are a LOT of different tools that are used for extraction. There was one tool that could do all the different teeth (the dental key), but it was not as effective as having forceps specialized for each area of the mouth.
