Background: Pancreatic trauma is a rare solid organ injury. Conservative treatment is often indicated in patients with no pancreatic duct injury, while patients with high-grade pancreatic damage most often require surgical intervention. Laparoscopic central pancreatectomy (LCP) is a parenchyma-sparing approach and can prevent endocrine and exocrine insufficiency after pancreatic resection.

Background: The specialist palliative home service (SAPV) federal framework contract for adults, to be enacted in Germany until 2028, does not legally mandate the hiring of a third professional group beyond specialist nurses and physicians, although palliative care embraces the psychosocial dimension and an interprofessional approach.

Objectives: This article aims to explore the role of medical staff in integrating social work (SW) into SAPV.

Design: Qualitative case study.

Background: The initial assessment of trauma is a time-consuming and challenging task. The purpose of this research is to examine the diagnostic effectiveness and usefulness of machine learning models paired with radiomics features to identify blunt traumatic liver injury in abdominal computed tomography (CT) images.

Materials And Methods: In this study, 600 CT scan images of people with mild and severe liver damage due to trauma and healthy people were collected from the Kaggle dataset.

Understanding trends in osteoporosis drug prescribing: implications for reducing futile biomedical research.

Front Med (Lausanne)

January 2025

Department of Global Health and Social Medicine, Institute of Gerontology, Faculty of Social Science and Public Policy, King's College London, London, United Kingdom.

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a significant geriatric condition, considering its impact on fracture-related morbidity and mortality, particularly among older women. The interplay of clinical evidence, diagnostic tools availability, and broader societal attitudes toward aging and treatment efficacy affect medical attitude and prescribing behaviors. Using the example of osteoporosis in France and England, the study aims to unravel the intricacies of medical decision-making in geriatric care, offering insights into the evolving landscape of healthcare policy and practice, which in turn can help reduce futile biomedical research.

Determining the QRS axis: visual estimation is equal to calculation.

Herzschrittmacherther Elektrophysiol

January 2025

Hannover Heart Rhythm Center, Department of Cardiology & Angiology, Hannover Medical School, Carl-Neuberg Str. 1, 30625, Hannover, Germany.

Background: The QRS axis of the electrocardiogram (ECG) is often considered in clinical practice, but its determination is frequently limited to a rough estimation, such as "normal", with left or right deviation, and superior or inferior in the case of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs). However, a more exact determination of the QRS axis may be warranted in certain scenarios, such as to determine the origin of PVCs more precisely, and is attainable by visual estimation using the hexaxial reference system.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine how well such an estimation of the QRS axis would correlate with the axis calculated by formulas.
