Diagnostic value of verification methods for abdominal injuries in patients with combined trauma (CT) was analyzed, severity of injuries by Injuries Severity Scale (ISS) was specified. From 503 patients with CT (ISS = 17.6 +/- 9) diagnostic laparocentesis (DLC) was used in 224 (44.6%), USI--in 204 (40.4%), diagnostic laparoscopy (DLS)--in 49 (9.8%). Diagnostic value of each method is not optimal as they do not confirm or exclude injuries of abdominal organs requiring emergency surgery. Absence of clear criteria of diagnosis of intraabdominal catastrophe leads to significant number of unnecessary laparotomies (DLC--39%, USI--43%, DLS--48.6%) that makes graver state of patients with CT and prognosis.

High-grade liver injury: outcomes with a trauma surgery-liver surgery collaborative approach.
Trauma Surg Acute Care Open
January 2025
Surgery, University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA.
Background: Operative mortality for high-grade liver injury (HGLI) remains 42% to 66%, with near-universal mortality after retrohepatic caval injury. The objective of this study was to evaluate mortality and complications of operative and nonoperative management (OM and NOM) of HGLI at our institution, characterized by a trauma surgery-liver surgery collaborative approach to trauma care.
Methods: This was an observational cohort study of adult patients (age ≥16) with HGLI (The American Association for Surgery of Trauma (AAST) grades IV and V) admitted to an urban level I trauma center from January 2010 to November 2021.

January 2025
State Key Laboratory of Traditional Chinese Medicine Syndrome, Department of Neurology, Guangdong Provincial Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, Guangdong Provincial Hospital of Chinese Medicine, The Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine, Guangzhou, China.
Background: A stable and reproducible experimental bacterial pneumonia model postintracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is necessary to help investigating the pathogenesis and novel treatments of Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP).
Aim: To establish a Gram-negative bacterial pneumonia-complicating ICH rat model and an acute lung injury (ALI)-complicating ICH rat model.
Methods: We established two standardized models of post-ICH pneumonia by nasal inoculation with () or intratracheal inoculation with lipopolysaccharide (LPS).
Background The critical view of safety (CVS) is a critical technique to minimize the risk of bile duct injuries (BDIs) during laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). This study evaluated the rate of CVS achievement and examined factors influencing its success. Methods This prospective study included 97 patients undergoing LC.

Traumatic intra-abdominal hemorrhage contributes to mortality in patients with trauma. However, initiating an emergent laparotomy in the operating room (OR) as a standard treatment can sometimes be time-consuming. To overcome this issue, laparotomy is performed in the emergency room (ER) in some institutions.

Background: Indications for, and usage of, anticoagulant (AC) and antiplatelet (AP) agents is increasing. In this context, it is important to understand the evidence base of the effect of pre-injury AC/AP agents on patient outcomes in the context of traumatic solid organ injury (SOI) to inform management protocols.
Methods: A scoping review of the literature was undertaken with a systematic search strategy within the PubMed and Scopus databases.
