Article Synopsis
- Facial bone fractures are less common in women than in men in the U.S., yet there is limited knowledge about the specifics of women who experience these injuries.
- The study aims to analyze the characteristics, types, and costs of emergency care for women with facial fractures using 2019 data from the National Emergency Department Sample.
- Findings show that while women represent 37% of facial fractures in emergency settings, they tend to be older, more likely to be on Medicare, and have lower medical costs compared to men, but the total financial burden for their care is significant at $1.6 billion.

Article Synopsis
- - This study analyzes data from the Nationwide Emergency Department Sample to understand characteristics and costs associated with emergency department visits for facial lacerations from 2019.
- - Findings reveal over 2.5 million ED visits, primarily unintentional injuries, with scalps being the most common injury site, predominantly affecting adult males who often have private insurance.
- - Most encounters occurred during summer months (June-August) in large urban areas and at teaching hospitals, highlighting the demographic and economic factors involved in facial laceration treatment in the U.S. emergency departments.
Echolocating bats rely on rapid processing of auditory information to guide moment-to-moment decisions related to echolocation call design and flight path selection. The fidelity of sonar echoes, however, can be disrupted in natural settings due to occlusions, noise, and conspecific jamming signals. Behavioral sensorimotor adaptation to external blocks of relevant cues has been studied extensively, but little is known about adaptations that mitigate internal sensory flow interruption.
