Introduction: The utility of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for high-grade traumatic injuries remains unclear and data surrounding its use are limited. We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management of grade IV-V pancreaticoduodenal injuries.
Methods: This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers from January 2010 to December 2020.
At rest, the menstrual cycle phase impacts ventilation and chemosensitivity. However, during exercise there is inconclusive evidence that the menstrual cycle phase affects ventilation or chemosensitivity. We sought to examine the influence of menstrual phase and hormonal birth control (BC) on chemosensitivity.

In particular, people of color experience higher rates of delayed and/or misdiagnosis contributing to poorer outcomes and an increased mortality risk. Research suggests that health care professionals find it more difficult to correctly diagnose dermatological conditions in the non-White patient demographic.

This is due to their high abundance and diversity, with many repeat families being unique to the organisms in which they were described. In sugar beet, repeats make up a significant portion of the genome (at least 53%), with many repeats being restricted to the beet genera, Beta and Patellifolia.

- Acute mountain sickness (AMS) can result from quick ascents to high altitudes and insufficient acclimatization, with acetazolamide (AZ) often prescribed for prevention but negatively affecting exercise performance.
- This study compared the effects of AZ, methazolamide (MZ), and a placebo on whole-body exercise performance in hypoxic conditions using a cycling time trial with fifteen participants.
- Results showed that both AZ and MZ impaired exercise performance compared to the placebo group, as indicated by longer times to complete a 5-km trial, while MZ did not show a significant performance advantage over AZ.
