Objective: Associated both column acetabular fractures (OTA/AO 62C) with concomitant posterior wall fracture fragments (ABC + PW) have not been well-defined. The purpose of this study was to report on the incidence and morphology of ABC + PW fractures.

Methods: A retrospective review of associated both column (ABC) fractures between 2014 and 2020 was performed.

Background: The emergency department (ED) disposition and discharge process is a critical period in a patient's transition from an acute care setting to self-care or a bridge to other healthcare providers.

We developed a protocol to guide residents through the ED discharge process using the mnemonic "R2D2": reassess the patient, recheck the workup, discuss the disposition plan with the attending, and finally discuss the discharge plan with the patient.

Renal ischemia-reperfusion injury results in oxidative stress-induced alterations in barrier function. Activation of the mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase pathway during recovery from oxidative stress may be an effector of oxidant-induced tight junction reorganization. We hypothesized that tight junction composition and barrier function would be perturbed during recovery from oxidative stress.
