Severity-Dependent Long-Term Post-Traumatic Changes in the Circulating Oxylipin Profile.

Trauma causes the breakdown of membrane phospholipids and the subsequent degradation of the released polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) to partially bioactive oxylipins. Here, we screened for circulating PUFAs and oxylipins in patients (n = 34) differing from those of uninjured controls (n = 25) and analyzed their diagnostic potential. Patients were followed up for 1 to 240 h after minor/moderate, severe, and very severe injuries.

Evaluation of Prehospital Undertriage in Relation to Trauma Team Activation-Results from a Prospective Study in 12 Level one German Trauma Centers.

This prospective, multicenter observational cohort study was carried out in 12 trauma centers in Germany and Switzerland. Its purpose was to evaluate the rate of undertriage, as well as potential consequences, and relate these with different Trauma Team Activation Protocols (TTA-Protocols), as this has not been done before in Germany. : Each trauma center collected the data during a three-month period between December 2019 and February 2021.

Further stabilization and even decrease in the prevalence rates of overweight and obesity in German children and adolescents from 2005 to 2015: a cross-sectional and trend analysis.

Objective: Recently several industrialized countries reported a stabilization or even a decrease in childhood overweight and obesity prevalence rates. In Germany, this trend started in 2004. The present study therefore aimed to evaluate whether this trend has continued or even leads in a clear direction.
