Cent. Eur. J. Med. • 9(3) • 2014 • 461-467 DOI: 10.2478/s11536-013-0296-9 Central European Journal of Medicine Maxillofacial bite injuries treatment – 20 years experience Research Article Konstantinović S. Vitomir*1, Puzović Z. Dragana2 1 Clinic of Maxillofacial Surgery, School of Dentistry, University of Belgrade,1 1000 Belgrade, Serbia 2 Institute of Forensic Medicine, School of Dentistry, University of Belgrade, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia. Received 29 November 2012; Accepted 24 June 2013 Abstract: Management of bite injuries of the face is a part of everyday maxillofacial practice. The aim of the paper was to evaluate the bite injuries in the maxillo-facial region and to recommend treatment protocols. Materials and methods: The study was performed as a retrospective analysis of the medical records of University Clinic for maxillo-facial surgery in Belgrade. A total of 408 patients were treated for bite injuries of the maxillofacial region according to the same surgical protocol. Results: Animal bite injuries (92.9%) were much more common than human bites (7.1%). Dog bites (98.9%) were almost exclusive among animal bite injuries. Young males (58.7%), children and adolescents (44%) are predominately involved. The most frequently injured facial structure were lips (49.2%). Human bites presented in young males (86.2%), resulted from physical conflicts (58.6%) mostly affected cheeks (50%). Majority of injuries were Lackmann`s Class I and II. Conclusions: There were no reported infections or other complications after treatment with no need for secondary reconstruction. Factors that contribute to a good clinical outcome are: stage of the injury; short time interval from the injury to the admission into the hospital; no infection signs on admission; adequate surgical protocol with antibiotic prophylaxis. -

Black Bear Attack Associations and Agency Risk Management
BLACK BEAR ATTACK ASSOCIATIONS AND AGENCY RISK MANAGEMENT By Janel Marie Scharhag A Thesis Submitted in partial fulfillment of requirements for the degree MASTER OF SCIENCE IN NATURAL RESOURCES (WILDLIFE) College of Natural Resources UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN-STEVENS POINT Stevens Point, Wisconsin May 2019 APPROVED BY THE GRADUATE COMMITTEE OF: _____________________________________________________________ Dr. Cady Sartini, Graduate Advisor, Assistant Professor of Wildlife _____________________________________________________________ Dr. Shawn Crimmins, Assistant Professor of Wildlife _____________________________________________________________ Dr. Scott Hygnstrom, Professor of Wildlife ____________________________________________________________ Dr. Jeff Stetz, Research Coordinator, Region IV Alaska Fish and Game ii ABSTRACT Attacks by bears on humans have increased in the United States as both human and bear populations have risen. To mitigate the risk of future attacks, it is prudent to understand past attacks. Information and analyses are available regarding fatal attacks by both black (Ursus americanus) and brown bears (U. arctos), and non-fatal attacks by brown bears. No similar analyses on non-fatal black bear attacks are available. Our study addressed this information gap by analyzing all agency-confirmed, non-fatal attacks by black bears in the 48 conterminous United States from 2000-2017. Government agencies across the country are responsible for species conservation, population management, and conflict control. State, federal, and tribal agencies are required to make decisions that communicate and mitigate the risk of an attack to the public. Agencies have been held legally responsible for those decisions, consuming time and money in litigation. This had led to a call for a more refined way to assess the risk of a bear attack with the creation of a risk management model (RMM). -

'Man-Eating·' Among Lions Panthera Leo with a Reconstruction of the Natural History of the 'Man-Eaters of Tsayo'
Journal of East African Natural History 90: 1-40 (2001) THE SCIENCE OF 'MAN-EATING·' AMONG LIONS PANTHERA LEO WITH A RECONSTRUCTION OF THE NATURAL HISTORY OF THE 'MAN-EATERS OF TSAYO' Julian C. Kerbis Peterhans University College, Roosevelt University 430 S. Michigan Ave. Chicago, IL, 60605-1394, U.S.A. & Division of Mammals, Field Museum of Natural History Chicago, IL, 60605-2496, U.S.A. jkerbis~frrn]h.org Thomas Patrick Gnoske Bird Division, Zoology Department, Field Museum of Natural History 1400 S. Lake Shore Drive, Chicago 1160605-2496, U.S.A. tgnoske~frrn]h. org ABSTRACT The story of the 'Man-eaters of Tsavo' has been retold through script, cinema, and oral tradition in the 100+ years since their infamous 'reign of terror'. Despite their predictably broad popular appeal, the details pertaining to the natural history of these lions Panthera leo have never been reviewed. The skulls and skins of these lions have resided at the Field Museum of Natural History (Chicago) for over 75 years. An analysis of the skull of the primary culprit displays a traumatic injury that may have limited his predatory ability in subduing 'normal' prey. A sample of hairs, reflecting the diet of both man-eaters, is preserved in the broken and exposed cavities of their canines. Various additional circumstances likely contributed to their man-eating habit. The Tsavo incident closely followed the debut of rinderpest on the continent, which devastated cattle and buffalo, the primary prey of the Tsavo lion. The Tsavo 'nyika' consists of a dense thorn scrub thicket limiting visibility and passage, representing an ideal habitat for an 'ambush predator'. -

Lhasa, Tibet Autonomous Region 850 000 People’s Republic of China [email protected] Human-Wildlife Conflict in the Chang Tang Region of Tibet Abstract The multiple-use Chang Tang and Seling Lake Nature Reserves were created in 1993 to protect the unique assemblage of large fauna inhabiting the high-altitude steppe grasslands of northern Tibet, including the Tibetan antelope, Tibetan wild ass, Tibetan brown bear, Tibetan Gazelle, wild yak, and snow leopard. Prior to creation of the reserve, many of these species were heavily hunted for meat and sale of parts. Since creation of the reserve, however, killing of wildlife by subsistence hunters and commercial poachers has declined while in the past five years a new problem has emerged, that of human-wildlife conflict. With human, livestock, and wildlife populations in the reserves all increasing, and animals apparently emboldened by reserve-wide hunting bans, all forms of human-wildlife conflict have surged rapidly since 2001. -

Sloth Bear Attacks on Humans in Central India: Implications for Species Conservation
Human–Wildlife Interactions 12(3):338–347, Winter 2018 • digitalcommons.usu.edu/hwi Sloth bear attacks on humans in central India: implications for species conservation Nisha Singh, Wildlife & Conservation Biology Research Lab, HNG University, Patan, Gujarat, India -384265 [email protected] Swapnil Sonone, Youth for Nature Conservation Organization, Amravati, Maharashtra, India - 444606 Nishith Dharaiya, Wildlife & Conservation Biology Research Lab, HNG University, Patan Gujarat, India -384265 Abstract: Conflicts with wild animals are increasing as human populations grow and related anthropogenic activities encroach into wildlife habitats. A good example of this situation is the increase in conflicts between humans and sloth bears (Melursus ursinus) in India. Sloth bears are known for their aggressive and unpredictable behavior. More human fatalities and injuries have been attributed to sloth bear attacks than all recorded incidences of wildlife attacks in Buldhana Forest Division of Maharashtra, India. We interviewed 51 victims that were attacked by sloth bears between 2009-2017 to better understand the reasons for the attacks. Thirty- four of the attacks (66.7%) resulted in serious injuries, and there were 7 human mortalities (13.7%) reported. Most attacks occurred close to agricultural fields (66.7%) and during mid- day (1100–1400 hours). More attacks (64.7%) occurred when a person was working or resting in the field, or retrieving water for the field followed by attacks while watching over grazing livestock (13.7%). Individuals aged 31 to 40 years (35.3%) were the most common victims of sloth bear attacks. Half of the attacks were during monsoon season (July to October, 51%) followed by summer (March to June, 35%) and winter (November to February, 14%). -
