Background: Infected animal bites and localised infections are traditionally managed by inpatient admission, intravenous antibiotics, and localised washout +/- debridement. Our hand trauma protocol was modified to accommodate the challenges faced in delivering this pathway during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Objective: To evaluate the outcomes of two management pathways, ambulatory (2020) vs inpatient (2019), at a single tertiary referral centre.
Article Synopsis
- Spontaneous supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage is a severe type of stroke with high mortality rates, and there are currently no effective treatments to improve patient outcomes.
- This trial will assess the effects of early minimally invasive endoscopic surgery compared to the best medical treatment, focusing on functional outcomes after 6 months.
- Conducted in Switzerland, this multicenter study aims to fill the gap in large randomized trials, potentially establishing new treatment options for this life-threatening condition.
During Li-ion battery operation, (electro)chemical side reactions occur within the cell that can promote or degrade performance. These complex reactions produce byproducts in the solid, liquid, and gas phases. Studying byproducts in these three phases can help optimize battery lifetimes.
