Background: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has emerged as a critical intervention in the management of patients with trauma-induced cardiorespiratory failure. This study aims to compare outcomes in patients with severe thoracic injuries with and without venovenous extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VV-ECMO).
Methods: We performed a retrospective cohort study on Trauma Quality Improvement Program (2017-2021) and included all patients with isolated blunt thoracic injuries with Abbreviated Injury Scale score of ≥4 who required intubation.
Molecular recognition events between proteins drive biological processes in living systems. However, higher levels of mechanistic regulation have emerged, in which protein-protein interactions are conditioned to small molecules. Despite recent advances, computational tools for the design of new chemically induced protein interactions have remained a challenging task for the field.

Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis of TQIP (2017-2019).
Article Synopsis
- - Structure-based drug design (SBDD) focuses on creating small molecules that accurately target specific proteins, using structural data to help propose new drug candidates.
- - Current methods typically require extensive dataset preparation and retraining for different tasks, while our approach introduces a single pretrained model that can handle multiple design challenges.
- - We introduce DiffSBDD, a diffusion model that generates new ligands based on protein structures, and demonstrate how it can be enhanced with constraints for better drug candidate quality.
Geriatric falls: an enormous economic burden compared to firearms.
Trauma Surg Acute Care Open
August 2024
Background: This study aimed to assess the medical costs, and the combined costs of fatal firearm injury and fatal falls during a 5 year period. While fatal firearm injury represents a significant public health concern, the healthcare community is faced with the significant challenge of fatal falls, particularly in light of the elderly population growth.
Methods: Data were exported from the Web-based Injury Statistics Query and Reporting System database for fatal firearm and falls in patients aged between 15-85 years-old.
