Background: There is extensive literature describing the application of telemedicine techniques to trauma care. However, there is a paucity of articles showing quantitative assessment of its safety and efficacy. This structured review examines articles with quantitative assessment of telemedicine's impact in acute trauma care.

In this work, we present the electric field gradient (EFG) given by the linear response elimination of the small component (LRESC) scheme up to the 1/ order ( is the speed of light in vacuum) in CHFClX (X = Br, I, At) chiral molecules, together with CHFBr and CHFX (X = Br, I, At) tetrahedral systems. The former could be good candidates for further parity violation studies, especially when heavy atoms are surrounding. In this context, the LRESC scheme demonstrates effective applicability to large tetrahedral and chiral molecules that incorporate heavy elements, with relativistic effects playing a crucial role.

When the weak forces producing parity-violating effects are taken into account, there is a tiny energy difference between the total electronic energies of two enantiomers (Δ), which might be the key to understanding the evolution of the biological homochirality. We focus on the electronic chirality measure (ECM), a powerful descriptor based on the electronic charge density, for quantifying the chirality degree of a molecule, in a representative set of chiral molecules, together with their energies. Our results show a novel, strong, and correlation between Δ and ECM, supporting a subtle interplay between the weak forces acting within the nuclei of a given molecule and its chirality.

Background: Birthdays provide an opportunity to celebrate; however, they can also be associated with various adverse medical events. This is the first study to examine the association between birthdays and in-hospital trauma team evaluation.

Methods: This retrospective study analyzed trauma registry patients 19-89 years of age, who were evaluated by in-hospital trauma services from 1/1/2011 to 12/31/2021.

In this work, we present relativistic corrections to the electric field gradient (EFG) given by the Linear Response Elimination of the Small Component (LRESC) scheme at 1/c order and including for the first time spin-dependent (SD) corrections at 1/c order. We show that these new terms improve the performance of LRESC as results with this methodology are very close to those calculated at the four-component Dirac-Hartree-Fock (4c-DHF) level. We assess the new corrections in BrY and AtY di-halogen (Y = F, Cl, Br, I, and At) and XZY bi-linear molecules (Z = Zn, Cd, and Hg; X, Y = F, Cl, Br, I, and At).
