First aid for human, animal bite injuries

When we were growing up, the only thing we knew then was that only dogs, cats and horses do bite. However, times are fast changing. It is interesting to note that some humans now bite.
On June 28, 1997, during the third round of a WBA heavy weight championship rematch between Evander Holyfield and Mike Tyson at the MGM Grand Garden Arena, Las Vegas, in the United States of America, Tyson spat out his protective mouth piece and bit off a chunk of Evander’s right ear, leaving a bewildered and mystified Holyfield bleeding profusely from the affected ear.
Since then till date, several other human bite incidences have occurred at different times.
The most recent occurred on June 24th, approximately three days ago, at the ongoing FIFA World Cup tournament, where a Uruguayan player of unquestionable talent but with unfortunate tendencies to bite, lashed out and sunk his teeth into the shoulder of Giorgio Chiellini, an Italian defender, during a match between Italy and Uruguay.
Luis Suarez may have bitten more than he could chew this time because football governing body, FIFA, has begun disciplinary proceedings on the incidence. He may face a worldwide ban of up to two and a half years for his latest biting incidence.
This is not Luis’ first biting incidence. In November 2010, he was handed a seven-match ban after biting PSV midfielder, Otman Bakkai. Again, on April 21, 2013, he bit Chelsea’s midfielder, Branislav Ivanovic on his left arm, and was handed a 10-match ban.
This story sounds funny, but it is real. In fact, the most interesting part of the story is that in all the incidences, there was no act of provocation from the victims. Biting was just an act borne out of frustration, stress and loss of self control on his part.
It’s not every day that you hear of a human being biting another. But Uruguayan soccer player, Luis Suárez, has shown us all that even mature humans occasionally bite others.
Infections through bites
Human bite wounds may not seem dangerous, but the risk of infection is higher because the human mouth contains higher levels of micro-organisms, which is introduced deep into the tissue by the teeth.
A review of 50 cases of human bites found an average of four infectious agents, and more than half of the infections contained Streptococcus anginosus, a bacterium in the same genus as that which causes strep throat. Nearly a third involved Staphylococcus aureus, the cause of most Staph infections.
According to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, about 10 to 20 per cent of human bites become infected, and most bites and infections occur on the hand. In fact, about one third of hand infections come from bites. If not treated promptly, these infections can spread quickly and cause major complications.
Hepatitis B and C viruses can also be introduced into the body from a bite. Both affect the liver, and studies suggest that anybody who is bitten should be tested for Hepatitis B and C.
Herpes can be contacted from a bite. Several studies say this is possible since the herpes simplex virus is carried in saliva.
Rabies is caused by Rhabdo virus which replicates within the salivary glands, and it is transmitted through a bite.
Transmission of HIV through a bite is technically possible, though very, very unlikely. However, a case has been described in the Malawi Medical Journal of a woman getting HIV after being bitten on her lip by an HIV-positive sex worker during a fight.
Another incidence recorded was a case of a man getting HIV from his son after a fight — in which the HIV-positive foster son bit off the man’s thumbnail. Before that incident, it had been assumed that the HIV virus couldn’t be transmitted through saliva, since saliva inhibits the virus; but it does not appear to be true in every case.
First aid tips for bites
Once a person experiences a human-to-human, or animal-to-human bite, here are a few first aid tips that may be useful.
•First, calmly reassure the person. Wear latex gloves or wash your hands thoroughly before attending to the wound. Wash hands afterwards, too.
•If the bite is not bleeding severely, wash the wound thoroughly with mild soap and running water for three to five minutes. Then, cover the bite with antibiotic ointment and a clean dressing.
•If the bite is actively bleeding, apply direct pressure with a clean, dry cloth until the bleeding stops. Raise the area of the bite.
•If the bite is on the hand or fingers, call the doctor right away. Be prepared to tell your doctor how you got the bite. During your visit, your doctor will perform an examination. He will measure the wound, note its location, and check for signs of nerve or tendon damage. The doctor may order an X-ray and a blood test. In addition, he may give you a tetanus shot and prescribe antibiotics.
Please take every measure to prevent a bite incidence; and if it still happens, ensure you apply the necessary first-aid procedures.
Have a splendid weekend.

Myntra set to launch fashion incubator

MUMBAI: The combined entity of Flipkart and Myntra will soon launch a fashion incubator, a first of its kind move by an Indian startup, in its aggressive push to gain complete dominance of the fast-growing online apparel category. In typical venture capital-style investing, the e-commerce combine will select fashion entrepreneurs, give them a platform to retail and after six months to a year pick up equity stakes for up to a million dollars in the best performing brands.

Startup incubators are widely run by large technology companies, to spot new ideas and talent, but this would be the first such attempt by an Indian e-commerce player.

Flipkart-Mynta will look to select at least 3-5 such brands annually which can later be retailed on other platforms- online and offline-- said a top executive from the company. The first batch of the incubator is expected to roll out in July which will get on board as many as 20 such entrepreneurs.

Eagles qualify for second round

Nigeria qualified for the last 16 of the World Cup despite losing 3-2 to Argentina in their final group clash in Porto Alegre on Wednesday.
Ahmed Musa drew the Super Eagles level twice after a brace from Argentina’s Lionel Messi but Marcos Rojo sealed victory for the South Americans in an exciting final Group F match of the 2014 World Cup in Estadio Beira-Rio to see both sides advance to the Round of 16 of the tournament.
Nigeria will meet former champions France in the second round on Monday.
The Eagles’ qualification was made possible after Bosnia defeated hard-fighting Iran, who had a chance of also advancing to the next round, 3-1, in the other group game.
Argentina have beaten Nigeria thrice in previous editions of the competition- 1994, 2002 and 2010- and they confirmed their superiority again in a game that marked captain Joseph Yobo’s 100th cap for the Eagles.
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi started with the same team who began the match against Bosnia but it was Argentina who drew first blood in the third minute through the dangerous Messi.
Angel Di Maria’s effort at the near post beat Vincent Enyeama, hit the post, and then hit the back of the Nigeria goalkeeper before bouncing out to Messi, who smashed the rebound into the roof of the net.
But the African champions replied immediately, when Babatunde Michael embarked on a sizzling run from midfield before passing to CSKA forward, Ahmed Musa, who got the better of Pablo Zabaleta, before rifling home, giving Argentine keeper Romero no chance.
The South Americans piled on the pressure with Messi needing just a touch to Di Maria’s cross but the Barcelona man failed to make contact before Di Maria forced Enyeama to make a fantastic save from over 25 yards.
The two-time champions kept pressing for a second goal and it took a deflection from the impressive Juwon Oshaniwa off a Sergio Aguero’s shot to keep Nigeria on level terms in the 32nd minute.
Enyeama parried a Messi free kick in the 43rd minute and the Nigerians were punished for committing fouls close to their box, when Messi made no mistake this time around a minute later.
But it was Musa, who drew Nigeria level two minutes after the break when he latched onto Emmanuel Emenike’s long range pass between several Argentine legs before slotting past Romero.
Nigeria were behind again three minutes later from a corner kick, when the ball deflected in off Rojo’s knee after a header from Kenneth Omeruo failed to clear from danger.
Both sides played some exhilarating football afterwards with Musa close to getting his hat-trick 12 minutes from time after beating Zabaleta inside the box but the defender recovered quickly and blocked his shot.
Nigeria had a chance to draw level late on after Efe Ambrose found his way into the Argentine area but the right-back watched agonizingly as his shot was deflected for a corner kick three minutes from time.
