Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) has been regarded a vision-threatening condition caused by either ocular or blunt/penetrating head trauma, which is characterized by direct or indirect TON. Injury happens during sports, vehicle accidents and mainly in military war and combat exposure. Earlier, we have demonstrated that remote ischemic post-conditioning (RIC) therapy is protective in TON, and here we report that AMPKα1 activation is crucial.

: Rib fractures are common in patients with trauma, and patients with multiple rib fractures often require surgical stabilization. Because rib fractures may occur at different sites along the ribs, the technical approach to surgical stabilization varies. Here, we present a case of posterior rib fractures with multiple paraspinal fragmented rib segments that were successfully treated with costovertebral plate fixation.

Hemorrhagic shock remains a leading cause of preventable death worldwide, with mortality patterns varying significantly based on injury mechanisms and severity. This comprehensive review examines the complex pathophysiology of hemorrhagic shock, focusing on the temporal evolution of inflammatory responses, biomarker utility, and evidence-based therapeutic interventions. The inflammatory cascade progresses through distinct phases, beginning with tissue injury and endothelial activation, followed by a systemic inflammatory response that can transition to devastating immunosuppression.

We report a case of a 45-year-old gentleman who presented to our major trauma centre after sustaining a penetrating high-pressure paint injection injury to the neck. This rare mechanism of injury is most commonly reported to affect the non-dominant hand, occurring due to the malfunction or misuse of industrial paint machines, causing a piercing soft tissue injury with high-pressure fluid. The unique challenges faced in managing penetrating injuries to the neck are due to the density of vital visceral structures in the region, including major blood vessels and the upper aerodigestive tract.
