In-hospital mortality after prehospital endotracheal intubation versus alternative methods of airway management in trauma patients. A cohort study from the TraumaRegister DGU®.

Purpose: Prehospital airway management in trauma is a key component of care and is associated with particular risks. Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is the gold standard, while extraglottic airway devices (EGAs) are recommended alternatives. There is limited evidence comparing their effectiveness.

Objective: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic necessitated alternative methods to ensure the continuity of medical education. Our study explores the efficacy and acceptability of a digital continuous medical education initiative for medical residents during this challenging period.
Methods: From September to December 2020, 47 out of 60 enrolled trainee doctors participated in this innovative digital Continuous Medical Education (CME) approach.
Comparison of age-adjusted shock indices as predictors of injury severity in paediatric trauma patients immediately after emergency department triage: A report from the Korean multicentre registry.

Article Synopsis
- The study introduces a refined version of the shock index for pediatric trauma patients (SIPA) to more accurately predict mortality and trauma team activation by using updated vital sign references.
- Researchers conducted a retrospective analysis on data from over 332,000 pediatric trauma patients, categorizing them by age groups and comparing various SIPA models to assess their effectiveness in predicting outcomes like mortality and ICU admission.
- Results revealed that uSIPA had the highest sensitivity for predicting mortality, while SIATLS showed the best positive predictive value, although overall performance in other predictive measures was similar across different SIPA models.
Trauma training in low- and middle-income countries: A scoping review of ATLS alternatives.

Introduction: Trauma training for front-line providers is a critical component of injury mitigation and trauma systems strengthening. Although the Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS) course is standard in much of the world, cost and administrative barriers are prohibitive to deploying the course in many low and middle income countries (LMICs). The purpose of this study was to identify alternative trauma training courses used in LMICs by scoping review and compare their effectiveness.

ER network formation depends on membrane fusion by the atlastin (ATL) GTPase. In humans, three paralogs are differentially expressed with divergent N- and C-terminal extensions, but their respective roles remain unknown. This is partly because, unlike Drosophila ATL, the fusion activity of human ATLs has not been reconstituted.
