Abrasion

Question: What is as abrasion resistant and aerodynamic as a leather suit? I'm getting a cbr600 and I want the abrasion protection as well as the aerodynamic qualities of a leather suit without buying leather. What is the vegan equivalent of leather? I know there is those kevlar jackets but they don't look very aerodynamic. Thanks.

Answer: The only thing I can think of is Keprotec. You will find it on leather suits in the inner thigh. As for making a whole suit, I really dont know who does. You could contact Knox. Based in the UK, they use it a lot.

Question: What's the difference between corneal abrasion and ulcer? What's the difference between a corneal abrasion and a corneal ulcer? also, if I use eye drops and my eye becomes super red, is it because the eye drops have become infected with something?

Answer: A corneal abrasion is exactly what it says it is. It occurs when something (a finger nail, a pencil, a stick) mechanically scratches the cornea and removes some of the epithelium that covers the surface. It is not an infection. A corneal ulcer is an isolated (can be large or small though) area of inflammation related to an infection of the cornea by a pathogen. The most common cause of a corneal ulcer is bacteria, although ulcers can occur associated with other pathogens such a viruses or fungi. These are active infections and should be treated agressively by either antibiotics, antivirals, or antifungals. As to your last question it depends upon what type eye drop you are talking about. It is possible that you may be allergic to an ingredient in the eye drop. Only way to know for sure what is happening is to go in and let a doc take a look.

Question: What is a good abrasion resistant fabric for jackets? I'm planning on making a jacket and was looking for an abrasion resistant fabric. (besides denim)

Answer: What kind of a jacket? Most of the "outdoor fabrics" like coated midweight nylons are quite abrasion resistant. So are tight twills of cotton, linen or worsted wool. Plain weaves like canvas are less abrasion resistant. If you're looking for a dressy jacket, I'd be looking at a good calvary twill, tricotine or such in a wool/nylon or wool/polyester blend, or plain wool if it's going to be tailored. Abrasion resistance of fibers (not fabrics) in order from good to poor: aramid (Kevlar, Nomex) nylon olefin polyester saran spandex linen acrylics PBI sulfar cotton silk wool rayon vinyon acetate glass

Question: Corneal Abrasion in a dog, needs a special eye ointment, whats it called and where can i get it? My dog recently scratched it his and it has been irritated. I've done research and it appears to be a Corneal Abrasion. I need a special ointment for his eye, but I have NO MONEY to go to a vet. Does anyone know what this ointment is called and where I can buy it?

Answer: You need to see a vet. The medication you need is an antibiotic ointment/drops that you cannot get without a prescription, unless you are a doctor and can write yourself a prescription and practice veterinary medicine without a license. Scrape together the money, because if you don't treat your dog's eye, it can get worse and his eye could rupture which would then cost a LOT of money and would be extremely uncomfortable. Also, you would never, never, treat a corneal abrasion with an ointment containing a steroid, as mentioned in another answer (BNP with HC - hydrocortisone is a steroid and could make the abrasion into a much deeper ulcer). You do need an antibiotic ointment and a pain medication to make your dog more comfortable. Please contact a vet - call around and find a cheap one, but you need to get the dog seen by a doctor. In the meantime, you can give your dog artificial tears (celluvisc) to keep the eye hydrated, but he really needs the antibiotic drops. Good luck.

Question: How long does it take an abrasion to heal? I was in a car accident and my head hit the winshield. I have a huge abrasion on my forehead and I'm wondering how long would it take to heal. Also, what should I do to make sure it heals properly?

Answer: Ouch been there except the knee was worse. Keep massaging vitamin E Oil on it. This will quicken the healing process and help prevent much scarring.

Question: What can I do to treat an abrasion from ice skating? Last week I went ice skating and the skates kept rubbing against my ankles and it caused an abrasion (I think that's what you call it). The problem is, when I step out of the shower and put antibiotic cream on it, the skin or scab that's trying to form kind of falls off. I'm torn between trying to keep it from getting infected or letting it heal. How do I treat this? Please be specific.

Answer: I had a large and fairly deep abrasion a few years ago, enough that my doctor sent me to a dermatologist. Here's what he said to do: Wash it twice a day, using any antibacterial soap and my hands. Pat dry with a clean towel. Not rub, pat. Let it air-dry, even if it takes quite a while. (It did, about a half-hour.) If the abrasion is at a place that needs to flex (mine was on a knee), then flex it while it dries, so the scab won't rib when you flex it. Once scabbed, apply Polysporin. Not Neosporin. The dermatologist hated Neosporin and specifically advised against it. Bandage only if it needs protection from clothing or activities rubbing it. Better is leaving it exposed to air unless you will be exposed to debris that will cling to it, like sawdust or granular lawn chemicals. (I bandaged my knee only overnight and left it out during the day.) If the scab weeps or oozes, use a bandage with a non-stick pad. My bad scrape took forever to heal, about two months, but it was really big. The scar is pretty small and barely noticeable, just a little shiny and very slightly darker.

Question: How long would does it take a large abrasion to heal? I was in a car accident and I have a huge abrasion on my forehead. The scar is huge and it is nothing but flesh. It has been 3 days since the accident and I was wondering about how long would it take for the scar to heal or atleast develop skin. Also, what medicated products would I need to treat this scare?

Answer: If it's a scar then it would be healed? If not look at 2-3 weeks for the injury to heal. Depending on the severity you may develop a scar. Try using aloe with vitamin E. to lessen the scar's appearance.

Question: How can i tell if i have corneal abrasion or an eye infection? i took my contacts out and one eye is really red and sensitive to light and gets really teary. how can i tell if it's a corneal abrasion or an eye infection and how do i fix it?

Answer: From what you are describing it sounds like a corneal abrasion. It is quite possible when you were wearing your contacts a foreign particle could have got trapped under the lens and scratched up the cornea. The symptoms you are describing would be a good indication to go to a doctor/eye doctor asap. http://www.emedicinehealth.com/corneal_a… If it was an eye infection you would see discharge of some sort in your eye. Anyways to be safe go see an optometrist or ophthalmologist to check your eyes out, to diagnose and treat the problem.

Question: Are there any really good at home microderm abrasion kits? I would like to try an at home microderm abrasion kit, and I was hoping you all could recommend a certain brand that I should try. Thanks!

Answer: Hey. Well first off, Micro Dermabrasion is best done at a spa or doctors office. Home kits are usually the same thing nail files are made of on a rotating or a vibrating body, which damage your skin more than give it a glow, which it is supposed to do. I don’t recommend doing it at home; you may really damage your skin. If you think you need micro Dermabrasion get it done professionally. Micro Dermabrasion is basically diamond shavings used to take off your dead skin and give it a natural glow, which it dose.

Question: What are the three forms of rock abrasion? I've looked on google and nothing is coming up... I'm dong a formal lab report on rock abrasion and I need to know the three forms.

Answer: Abrasion is a form of weathering. There are 2 types of weathering, physical and chemical. There are 3 physical agents of weathering: wind, water, and ice. These are also key in erosion, which is not the same as weathering. There are 3 chemical agents of weathering: oxidation, reduction, and hydrolysis. Abrasion is physical weathering, a lot of time associated with ice.

Question: how can i tell if i have a corneal abrasion or some eye infection? i took my contacts out and one eye is really red and sensitive to light and gets really teary. how can i tell if it's a corneal abrasion or an eye infection and how do i fix it?

Answer: Corneal Abrasion :A sensation of a foreign body in the eye (for example, a feeling that there is something in your eye that you cannot get out). This feeling sometimes develops a few hours later rather than immediately after the apparent injury. -Tearing of the eyes -Blurred vision or distortion of vision -Eye pain when exposed to a bright light -Spasm of the muscles surrounding your eye causing you to squint You may have got a foreign particle under your contact lens that scratched your cornea. As for eye infections there are many types but you if you have one you will probably have some sort of goopy discharge coming out of your eye. Here are some other possible symptoms -Red eyes. -In bacterial conjunctivitis: pus discharge from the eye or a morning crust on the eyelashes. -In viral conjunctivitis: watery discharge from one eye only, sometimes with crust, sore throat, or runny nose. -In allergic conjunctivitis: itchy, burning, and watery eyes, swelling around the eyes, runny nose and sneezing, or a sensation of having something in the eye. http://www.health.com/health/wynks/EyeIn… You need to see a doctor or eye doctor to diagnose it because if you don't know whats wrong you can't really do anything to fix it. If it is a corneal abrasion this link will bring you to at home treatments http://www.emedicinehealth.com/corneal_a… The best thing you can do right now is not too touch it because if it is infected you could infect other people or your other eye.

Question: Are the store bought microerm abrasion kits good? I was wondering if the microderm abrasion kits you can buy in the stores were worth buying, and if so, which ones?

Question: At home microderm abrasion kits, does it work on scars? I have some scars on my face and I was wondering if an at home microderm abrasion kit would work for scars or if it just works on wrinkles. :) Thanks.

Answer: Another thing that can help scars heal quickly is using vitamin enriched moisturizer. I had old scars on my face and hands from a car accident and used regular L'Oreal moisturizer with B and E vitamins... They faded very quickly. I can't see them anymore. It's a good solution for facial scars because it's mild, nongreasy, and beneficial to the face anyway. If you combine that with the microderm abrasion you should have great results!

Question: Why do I have a headache from a corneal abrasion? I have had a corneal abrasion since Wednesday night. My eye is feeling better, but still not normal. The pain is not as bad, but anytime I try to read I get a bad headache. Is this normal? How long will it last? Could it be from the medication I'm taking to dilate my pupil?

Answer: Yup. It alters your vision and thus can give you a headache. Most likely you will have this issue for as long as you are dilating your pupils. Call your doctor and they may tell you to take it easy on your eyes....relax.

Question: Will ATTRITION and ABRASION cause rocks to be smoother or more angular? I understand that attrition is when the pebbles and sediments carried by waves bump into each other and break down. I was wondering if attrition will cause the rocks to smoother or more angular. Also, will abrasion make the rocks smoother or more angular?

Answer: Hiya ! Both these actions will contribute to smoothing rocks. Also if the force of the rocks is sufficient, they'll break into smaller & smaller pieces - which is where sand comes from ! The rocks grinding against each other smooths their edges.
