Association between the number of individuals injured in a traumatic event and posttraumatic stress disorder among hospitalized trauma patients.

Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) often occurs following mass casualty events, yet the connection between the number of individuals injured in an event and PTSD risk in smaller-scale events (i.e., involving one or several injured persons) remains unclear.

The Association Between Glasgow Coma Scale Scores and PTSD in Military Trauma Casualties: Does Mental Status Following Injury Play a Role in PTSD Development?

Background: Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is prevalent among military personnel and may arise following a wide range of traumatic exposures. Consciousness level following traumatic injury may play a role in the development of PTSD, but its effects have been primarily investigated in the context of traumatic brain injury.

Methods: Registry-based study surveying three databases documenting care from point of injury to long-term rehabilitation of traumatic injuries among military personnel.

Endoscopic Management of Low-Grade Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma: Characterizing the Long-term Burden of Care in Comparison to Radical Nephroureterectomy.

Objective: To compare procedure burden, oncologic, surgical and renal-function outcomes between patients with low-grade upper urothelial cancer (UTUC) who were referred for either radical management (RM) or kidney-sparing endoscopic management (EM).

Patients And Methods: We retrospectively reviewed data of all patients treated for UTUC at our tertiary medical center between 2000 and 2018 and selected patients diagnosed with unilateral low-grade UTUC.

Results: Twenty-four patients were treated with EM and 37 with RM.

The Association Between History of an Ankle Sprain and Traumatic Meniscal Injury Among Infantry Combat Soldiers in the Israeli Defense Forces: A Historical Cohort Study.

Introduction: The high frequency and number of ankle inversion injuries and meniscal injuries in military populations is an area of concern due to the debilitating effects and cumulative consequences of these particular injuries on the soldiers sustaining injury and the consequences on the operational effectiveness of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF). This study examines the possible relationship between ankle inversion injury and potential for subsequent meniscal injury in infantry soldiers in the IDF.

Material And Methods: All 89,069 infantry combat soldiers (including special units), recruited to the IDF between 2007 and 2017 were included in this study.
