The present-day classification of gunshot penetrating abdominal wounds has a several number of limitations, namely: sometimes it is difficult to classify correctly the gravity of wounds, thus patients with different gravity status frequently form the same group of wounded. The authors propose to concretize the existing classification. A new variant will provide for a straight definition between the groups, the wounded who belong to the same group could be comparable in their gravity status. Generally, this new classification give a more complete and precise notion concerning the character of modern gunshot penetrating abdominal injuries.

Delayed Sensory Exotropia With Retained Metallic Intraorbital Foreign Body.
J Pediatr Ophthalmol Strabismus
January 2025
This report describes the longest case of a retained metallic intraorbital foreign body with no complications and development of delayed sensory exotropia following traumatic sclopetaria in childhood. A 9-year-old girl suffered a BB gun injury to the left eye, leading to chorioretinitis sclopetaria and loss of vision. The visual acuity was 20/800 with a relative afferent pupillary defect and choroidal rupture with subretinal hemorrhage that evolved to sclopetaria over time.

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.
Indirect Ballistic Injury Resulting in Non-ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

January 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Los Angeles General Medical Center, Los Angeles, California, USA.
Gunshot-related myocardial injuries typically result from direct penetrating injury by the traversing bullet. We present a case of gunshot-related myocardial injury in the absence of direct penetrating injury to the cardiac structures and describe alternative mechanisms for ballistic-induced injury.

Currently, there are no large epidemiological studies looking specifically at traumatic visceral AVFs. When traumatic AVFs have been discussed in the literature, it is in the form of case reports or case series and focused on peripheral AVFs.
