Introduction: Hepatic angioembolization is highly effective for hemorrhage control in hemodynamically stable patients with traumatic liver injuries and contrast extravasation. However, there is a paucity of data regarding the specific location of angioembolization within the hepatic arterial vasculature and its implications on patient outcomes.

Methods: A post-hoc analysis of a multicenter prospective observational study across 23 centers was performed.

Background: Prior studies evaluating observation versus angioembolization (AE) for blunt liver injuries (BLT) with contrast extravasation (CE) on computed tomography imaging have yielded inconsistent conclusions, primarily due to limitations in single-center and/or retrospective study design. Therefore, this multicenter study aims to compare an observation versus AE-first approach for BLT, hypothesizing decreased liver-related complications (LRCs) with observation.

Methods: We conducted a post hoc analysis of a multicenter, prospective observational study (2019-2021) across 23 centers.

Quantifying nitrate leaching in agricultural fields is often complicated by inability to capture all water draining through a specific area. We designed and tested undisturbed soil monoliths (termed "soil block mesocosms") to achieve complete collection of drainage. Each mesocosm measures 1.

Article Synopsis
  • Recent societal changes have led to increased cannabis use, especially among young people, highlighting a connection between cannabis use disorder (CUD) and reactive aggression.
  • * Research indicates a shared genetic and environmental predisposition for both cannabis use and aggression, suggesting a common biological basis.
  • * The relationship is complex, with cannabis possibly triggering violent behaviors while some may use it to cope with the emotions tied to aggression, creating a cycle where each condition worsens the other.
