Immunoprophylaxis of viral hepatitis.

Emergency physicians frequently encounter patients who have been or may have been exposed to viral hepatitis, and are often in a position to offer immunoprophylaxis. Needlestick exposure among hospital employees is endemic in any large hospital. Currently treatment of clinical hepatitis is only symptomatic; rational immunoprophylaxis is the only method available to influence the course of the disease. The basic types of viral hepatitis are reviewed, as are transmission of the disease, serologic tests, high risk groups, and immunoprophylactic agents. Treatment plans are outlined for different types of exposure, and an algorithm is included for management of needlestick exposure.

Skin closure using a new skin clip.

A new skin clip that allows rapid skin closure with minimal trauma to the skin has been devised. The clip can be used in most conventional incisions on the neck, extremities, thorax, and abdomen. It cannot be used where skin is tightly adherent, as in the scalp, palm, and soles of the feet. Closure with this skin clip has proved to be dependable and to provide an aesthetic hairline scar.
