Trauma in Pregnancy.

Trauma in pregnancy can range from a mild injury, such as a fall from standing height, to a major injury, involving a penetrating injury or a high force motor vehicle collision. Providing care to a pregnant patient with trauma presents a unique challenge as 2 patients are at risk for complications, that is, the mother and the fetus, both of whom require evaluation and management. Health care professionals should be aware of and be prepared to manage complications of trauma in pregnancy, given its significant associated morbidity and mortality.

Complications following chest tube insertion pre-and post-implementation of guidelines in patients with chest trauma: A retrospective, observational study.

Background: The need to evacuate the chest after a penetrating wound was first recognized in the 18 century. Most thoracic injuries are treated with tube thoracostomy (TT) which refers to the insertion of a TT into the pleural cavity to drain air, blood, pus, or other fluids. However, TT has been challenged in the trauma care due to insertional, positional, or infective complications.

Robotic inguinal hernia repair: systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of RHR's efficiency and safety, in addition to comparison between open and laparoscopic techniques.

Methods: A literature review was conducted from 2000 to 2020 including studies reporting on their centre's outcomes for robotic hernial repairs. A meta-analysis was conducted.

Factors associated with complete and partial remission, improvement, or unchanged diabetes status of obese adults 1 year after sleeve gastrectomy.

Background: Laparoscopic sleeve gastrectomy (SG) achieves type 2 diabetes (T2D) remission to various extents, and reasons for such variations are unknown.

Objectives: We assessed patients' characteristics associated with T2D remission 1 year post SG.

Setting: University hospital.
