Article Synopsis
- Geriatric trauma involves injuries in individuals aged 65 and older, requiring specialized management in Emergency Departments due to their unique physiological changes and injury complexities.
- A study evaluated trauma causes in 319 elderly patients, revealing that falls were the most common reason for injuries, followed by car accidents, with high prevalence of underlying conditions like hypertension and diabetes.
- The results indicate that falls and car accidents are significant risks for elderly trauma, especially for head and neck injuries, highlighting the need for effective protective measures to reduce serious outcomes.
Pain management in the ICU (intensive care unit) is a very complex problem which involves a wide variety of conditions, lack of sufficient tools for use, and high personnel to patient ratio. In the last three decades, pain as a clinical issue has become well analyzed, and treatment protocols based on scientific evidence have been established. Besides medication, some non-pharmacological methods such as music therapy, relaxation, and massage have been proven to be very much practical and manageable in pain management of ICU.

So that pollutants such as carbon monoxide (CO) and particulate matter (PM) cause respiratory diseases, cough headache, etc. Since the amount of pollutants in the air is related to environmental and urban factors, the aim of the current research is to investigate the relationship between the concentration of CO, PM and PM with urban-environmental factors including land use, wind speed and wind direction, topography, traffic, road network, and population through a Land use regression (LUR) model.

AI algorithms can analyze huge quantities of data from numerous sources, including medical images, quantifiable proteins in urine, blood, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), genetic information, clinical records, electroencephalography (EEG) signals, driving behaviors, and so forth. Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative disorders that progressively damage cognitive abilities and memory.

- Occupational injuries (OIs) pose significant social and economic challenges, often leading to serious outcomes like prolonged work absences and disabilities.
- A study conducted at Mashhad University of Medical Sciences evaluated patients with OIs admitted to trauma centers, with 683 out of 13,660 emergency patients suffering from such injuries, primarily affecting younger men in manual labor positions.
- The findings indicated that falls were the most common cause of injuries and emphasized the need for effective policies to mitigate these occupational risks.
