Misinformation About Climate Change and Related Environmental Events on Social Media: Protocol for a Scoping Review.

Background: Climate change and related environmental events represent major global challenges and are often accompanied by the spread of misinformation on social media. According to previous reviews, the dissemination of this misinformation on various social media platforms requires deeper exploration. Moreover, the findings reported applied mainly to the context of the United States, limiting the possibility of extending the results to other settings.

OPTICC: A multicentre trial of Occult Pneumothoraces subjected to mechanical ventilation: The final report.

Introduction: Patients with occult pneumothorax (OPTX) requiring positive-pressure ventilation (PPV) face uncertain risks of tension pneumothorax or chest drainage complications.

Methods: Adults with traumatic OPTXs requiring PPV were randomized to drainage/observation, with the primary outcome of composite "respiratory distress" (RD)).

Results: Seventy-five (75) patients were randomized to observation, 67 to drainage.

Time to operating room matters in modern management of pancreatic injuries: A national review on the management of adult pancreatic injury at Canadian level 1 trauma centers.

Background: Pancreatic injuries are rare, difficult to diagnose, and complex to manage despite multiple published guidelines. This study was undertaken to evaluate the current diagnosis and management of pancreatic trauma in Canadian trauma centers.

Methods: This is a multi-institutional retrospective study from 2009 to 2014 including patients from eight level 1 trauma centers across Canada.

Short-term post-implantation dynamics of in vitro engineered human microvascularized adipose tissues.

Engineered adipose tissues are developed for their use as substitutes for tissue replacement in reconstructive surgery. To ensure a timely perfusion of the grafted substitutes, different strategies can be used such as the incorporation of an endothelial component. In this study, we engineered human adipose tissue substitutes comprising of functional adipocytes as well as a natural extracellular matrix using the self-assembly approach, without the use of exogenous scaffolding elements.

Vasopressor use following traumatic injury - A single center retrospective study.

Objectives: Vasopressors are not recommended by current trauma guidelines, but recent reports indicate that they are commonly used. We aimed to describe the early hemodynamic management of trauma patients outside densely populated urban centers.

Methods: We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study in a Canadian regional trauma center.
