We conducted a systematic review and case-control study to test the hypothesis that delayed metalwork removal following percutaneous fixation for thoracolumbar fractures improves outcome.
Methods: A systematic review was performed in accordance with the PRISMA guidelines.
Objective: This study aimed to explore the efficacy of the IV3000 semi-occlusive, transparent adhesive film dressing in the non-surgical management of simple as well as more complex fingertip injuries.
Method: In this qualitative study, patients with fingertip injuries were prospectively recruited and treated conservatively with the dressing between 2015 and 2017. Inclusion criteria included any fingertip injury with tissue loss and patient consent for non-surgical treatment consistent with the study protocol.
Objectives: To determine the feasibility of monitoring tissue oxygen tension from the injury site (pscto2) in patients with acute, severe traumatic spinal cord injuries.
Design: We inserted at the injury site a pressure probe, a microdialysis catheter, and an oxygen electrode to monitor for up to a week intraspinal pressure (ISP), spinal cord perfusion pressure (SCPP), tissue glucose, lactate/pyruvate ratio (LPR), and pscto2. We analyzed 2,213 hours of such data.
