Emergencies associated with cosmetological procedures
Published in Biju Vasudevan, Rajesh Verma, Dermatological Emergencies, 2019
Complications associated with chemical peels: Complications (Table 63.1) are usually minor and can be easily treated. Most of the complications occur due to improper patient selection or due to inadequate priming. Sometimes the priming agents are not withdrawn adequately before the peel, causing the skin to be dry and the peeling agent to penetrate deeper than indicated. Perioral and periorbital areas often have lines or creases where the peel agent can accumulate and avoid being neutralized adequately and cause a chemical burn (Figure 63.1) or a scab that is discovered the next day [1]. Usually these are superficial scabs and they resolve without incident. However, if there is a social event on the next few days, it needs to be treated as an emergency.

In contrast to the breeding and transgenic approaches, which solely depend upon the changes at the genome level, priming is an entirely different strategy where various kinds of regulatory molecules are used externally to strengthen the integral defense system of the plants (Ashraf et al. 2008). Nowadays, priming has emerged as a promising method for biotic and abiotic stress management whereby plants are trained through application of suitable priming agents (Goellner and Conrath 2008). Plants that have been exposed to stressful situations can remember these events and are able to defend themselves in a faster and better means upon renewed exposure to any stress in the future; this phenomenon is called priming. In other words, priming can be defined as the induction of a particular physiological state in plants by the treatment of natural and/or synthetic compounds to the seeds/seedlings before germination. Plants raised from primed seeds showed various advantages over the non-primed ones, such as sturdy and quick cellular defense response against abiotic stresses (Jisha et al. 2013).

The priming phase and the post-peeling care are very important when the peel is destined to treat hyperpigmentation as they are essential to treatment success. In order to avoid PIH, the epidermal melanogenesis needs to be inactivated4,12 by the daily use of sunscreens. In patients with a dark phototype, an additional treatment with a priming agent may be required.3 Apart from decreasing PIH, preparing the skin is a useful adjunctive measure that boosts the effect of the peel. Priming ensures uniform penetration of the peeling agent, enhances healing, and maintains the results achieved with the chemical peel.13 It involves the application of a topical depigmenting agent like hydroquinone, tretinoin, or glycolic acid (GA) 2 weeks before the planned day of peel.13 Studies have been conducted to assess the benefit of priming agents as adjuncts to chemical peels and have demonstrated that hydroquinone 2% gives better clinical results compared with 0.025% tretinoin when used as an adjunct with either GA peels or 10%–30% TCA peels.13–15

Cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) is a technique that temporarily takes over cardiopulmonary function and maintains blood circulation and oxygen levels in the body during surgery and is commonly used in cardiac surgery. During cardiopulmonary bypass, an adequate priming solution allows the pretreatment of the line, oxygenator, and blood pump, draining the air in the arterial duct, and performing proper blood dilution [1]. However, the priming solution may affect the physicochemical and homeostasis balance in the blood and alter the metabolic response when CPB is used in cardiac surgery [2]. Therefore, finding a suitable priming fluid is very important for patients who need CPB. Despite extensive research and discussion on CPB priming solutions in the past decades, there is still no consensus and agreement on the best optimal CPB priming solution [3].
Exploring the best evidence research to design and implement social story interventions: A critically appraised topic

Priming is an antecedent intervention strategy designed to prepare an individual for an upcoming activity by providing a preview of the activity in a context that offers high reinforcement and low demands (e.g. Gengouz, 2015; Koegel et al., 2003; Zanolli et al., 1996). Priming interventions have effectively increased academic responding (e.g. Koegel et al., 2003) and social interactions (e.g. Gengoux, 2009; Sawyer et al., 2005). Other researchers have noted that SS intervention procedures incorporate strategies used in priming (e.g. Kokina & Kern, 2020), and it is interesting to note that studies included in this CAT are no exception. Specifically, the SS used in each of the studies reviewed in this CAT were presented immediately before the target activity and provided participants with information regarding the upcoming situation.
Use of low dose vaginal misoprostol in office hysteroscopy: a pre–post interventional study

Procedures were performed by attending physicians, all with equal experience and qualifications. The day of the procedure, patients who received misoprostol priming were asked to confirm self-administration of misoprostol the evening prior as well as to report the side effects they experienced (abdominal cramping, vaginal bleeding, nausea, diarrhoea and fever), and these were documented in the medical chart. To perform the scheduled office hysteroscopy in all patients, first a speculum was placed vaginally to visualise the cervix before application of 20% Benzocaine topical gel (Beutich Pharmaceutical, Bunnell, FL, USA) to the external cervical os and endocervical canal with a cytology brush prior to initiation of the procedure. Only when required was a tenaculum placed on the anterior lip of the cervix to straighten the cervical canal. All hysteroscopies were performed using a flexible 3.5 mm, 120-degree field of view hysteroscope (HYF-V; Olympus, Melville, NY, USA). Sterile normal saline was used for uterine distension. Saline was infused by slow push using a 60 mL syringe by the same trained nurse for each procedure. A global uterine survey was performed, and diagnostic findings were recorded.
