Article Synopsis
- * Medics generally felt most confident in trauma, administrative, and airway skills, but expressed a greater need for training in infection, differential diagnosis, and neuro skills.
- * In response to these training needs, two Tactical Medicine (TACMED) Divisions have been established to enhance the ongoing education of SOF medics using a bottom-up feedback approach.
Article Synopsis
- Sternal intraosseous (IO) access is preferred for military fluid resuscitation due to better flow rates compared to other methods.
- A study assessed the manubrial bone structure of young adult military members using CT scans, focusing on dimensions relevant to IO catheter placement.
- Results indicated that both the FAST1 and TALON IO devices would accurately reach the target medullary bone in almost all cases when properly applied in the manubrium.
Background: Tissue reinforcement with acellular dermal matrix (ADM) in implant-based breast reconstruction contributes to the coverage of the implant and avoids its direct exposure to skin incision, yet not without risk of infection. Our integrated technique makes use of the in situ serratus anterior fascia as a support of the implant following mastectomy, which serves the same purpose of ADM in terms of aesthetic outcomes, but minimizes the hazard of infective complications.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed all the nipple-sparing mastectomies with direct-to-implant immediate reconstruction in Hong Kong Sanatorium and Hospital from 2012 to 2016.
Adolescent tibial tubercle avulsion fractures represent an uncommon, but clinically significant condition for emergency medicine physicians. Early recognition of the signs and symptoms of this pediatric orthopedic diagnosis are important, as anterior compartment syndrome can occur in up to 10-20% of cases. Anterior tibial tubercle fractures are generally sport related injuries, occurring primarily in otherwise healthy adolescent males between the ages of 11-17.
