Locked Wire Fixator for a Distal Radius Fracture With Malunion: A Case Report.

Surgical treatment for a distal radius fracture using a volar locking plate is difficult if the distal radius malunion remains. Therefore, a different surgical method from volar locking plate fixation should be required. We report the case of an 83-year-old woman with a left dorsal displaced distal radius fracture.

Patients With Atrioventricular Block Transported by a Physician-Staffed Helicopter in Japan From 2015 to 2020.

Objective: We retrospectively investigated the current status of patients with atrioventricular block (AVB) who had been transported by the physician-staffed helicopter emergency medical service and their final outcome using data from the Japan Doctor Helicopter Registry (JDHR) system.

Methods: The following details of the dispatch activity were collected from the database of the JDHR: age and sex, vital signs when emergency medical technicians encountered the patient at the scene and on arrival at the receiving hospitals, contents of the medical intervention, new cardiac arrest during transportation, the main etiology of AVB, and the number of deaths in 1 month. The changes in vital signs between the scene and upon arrival at the hospital were compared.

Outcomes of patients with decompression illness transported by physician-staffed helicopter according to Japanese Registry data (2015-2020).

Objective: No nationwide reports have focused on patients with decompression illness (DCI) transported by doctor helicopter (DH) in Japan. We performed this retrospective study to examine this population using data from the Japan DH registry system (JDRS).

Patients And Methods: Patients were initially selected from the JDRS database.

Narrative minireview of the current status of hyperbaric oxygen therapy for pregnant women.

We performed a narrative minireview for a PubMed search on March 31, 2023, using the keywords "pregnant" and "hyperbaric oxygen" to identify any related articles. Most reports have described pregnant women with carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning being treated by hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT). HBOT helped improve the maternal condition and ensure normal fetal development.
