Department of Critical Care Medicine, Chris Hani Baragwanath Academic Hospital, Johannesburg, ZAF.
This report details the case of a 29-year-old male patient who presented at a tertiary-level trauma centre with multiple stab wounds to the face, chest, and back. Despite not undergoing surgical intervention or exhibiting any apparent cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leakage during the initial evaluation. The patient's condition deteriorated, with subsequent cultures from CSF and blood confirmed extensively drug-resistant (XDR) Acinetobacter baumannii (A.

Ulus Travma Acil Cerrahi Derg
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, Gönen State Hospital, Balıkesir-Türkiye.
Background: Penetrating thoracic injuries are critical conditions that significantly influence the clinical outcomes of trauma patients in the emergency department (ED). This study evaluates the prognostic value of the glucose-to-potassium ratio (GPR) in predicting mortality among patients presenting to the ED with isolated penetrating thoracic injuries caused by stabbings.
Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted in the emergency department of a tertiary hospital from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2023.
Penetrating Chest Trauma With Right Atrial Rupture: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Student Research Unit, School of Medicine, 21 September University, Sana'a, YEM.
Penetrating thoracic injuries, especially those affecting cardiac structures, are rare but can be life-threatening, requiring urgent medical care. Right atrium injuries pose significant risks, including rapid blood loss, cardiac tamponade, hemodynamic instability, and, subsequently, potential death. We report the case of a 24-year-old male patient with stab wounds leading to a right-sided chest penetration three hours prior to presentation.

Front Public Health
January 2025
Department of Infectious Diseases, Zigong First People's Hospital, Zigong, China.
Background: Needle stick injury (NSI) is one of the most common and severe occupational hazards for healthcare workers (HCWs), leading to both physical harm and psychological distress and ultimately affecting patient safety. Previous studies on NSI were predominantly focused on general clinical practice, and limited research has targeted specifical NSI occurring in acupuncture practice in China, which has the greatest use of acupuncture.
Objective: This study aimed to investigate NSI and associated factors among acupuncture practitioners in China.
Preoperative versus postoperative stereotactic radiosurgery for brain metastases: a systematic review and meta-analysis of comparative studies.
Neurosurg Rev
January 2025
Department of Neurological Surgery, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, USA.
Resection is often the primary treatment for large brain tumors but is less practical for multiple brain metastases (BM). Current guidelines recommend stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS) for untreated BMs or following the surgical removal of a solitary BM to reduce the risk of local tumor recurrence. Preoperative SRS (pre-SRS) shows promise with fewer complications and more precise targeting, but it lacks tissue diagnosis and may hinder wound healing.
