Article Synopsis
- The study examines the timing of flap coverage for open tibial shaft fractures and addresses whether delays in treatment correlate with increased complications, while also controlling for various risk factors.
- A retrospective review of 69 patients treated at a trauma center was conducted, focusing on complications like infections and adverse outcomes from flap surgeries.
- Results showed that while there was no significant risk for the first seven days after injury, the risk of complications increased by 11% for each day after day seven, indicating that timely flap coverage is crucial even when controlling for injury severity.
Gastrin-releasing peptide (GRP), secreted by pulmonary neuroendocrine cells, mediates oxidant-induced lung injury in animal models. Considering that GRP blockade abrogates pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in hyperoxic baboons, we hypothesized that ionizing radiation triggers GRP secretion, contributing to inflammatory and fibrotic phases of radiation-induced lung injury (RiLI). Using C57BL/6 mouse model of pulmonary fibrosis developing ≥20 weeks after high-dose thoracic radiation (15 Gy), we injected small molecule 77427 i.

Despite the potentially serious consequences of a missed femoral neck fracture, little work has been conducted to rigorously evaluate the ability of commonly used imaging studies to detect such fractures. Our hypothesis was that axial-view computed tomography is superior to plain radiography at detecting femoral neck fractures.
