The management of complex maxillofacial injuries sustained in modern warfare or terrorist attack has presented military surgeons with a new form of injury pattern previously not discussed in the medical literature. The unique wounding characteristics of the IED, the portability of the weapon platform, and the relative low cost of development make it an ideal weapon for potential terrorist attacks. If potential future terrorist attacks in the United States follow the same pattern as the incidents currently unfolding in the Middle East, civilian practitioners will be required to manage these wounds early for primary surgical intervention and late for secondary and tertiary reconstructive efforts.

On October 7, 2023, terrorist organizations led by Hamas, launched an extensive attack on Israel. Within days following the initial attack, there was a clear need to provide psychological support to individuals who were exposed to the horrors of the October 7 attacks. Tel-Aviv Sourasky Medical Center - Ichilov, a tertiary medical center, launched an emergency mental health service to provide psychological first aid to the first-line victims of the war.

Background: In cohort studies with time-to-event outcomes, covariates of interest often have values that change over time. The classical Cox regression model can handle time-dependent covariates but assumes linear effects on the log hazard function, which can be limiting in practice. Furthermore, when multiple correlated covariates are studied, it is of great interest to model their joint effects by allowing a flexible functional form and to delineate their relative contributions to survival risk.

Increasing attention has been paid to the detection of explosives due to the occurrence of terrorist attacks around the world. Here, we used free radical polymerization to develop two different types of fluorescent copolymers for use in detecting picric acid. One exhibits aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and is called PNNS [poly (-isopropyl acrylamide---hydroxymethyl acrylamide --styrene-pyrene), poly (NIPAAm--NMA--St-Py)].

Introduction: The terror attack on October 7, 2023, in southern Israel resulted in approximately 1,200 civilians and security personnel killed. Of the civilians murdered, approximately 200 men, women, and children were murdered inside their homes, while the remaining casualties were murdered in an open field at a music festival, in their cars, or in the streets of local cities.
Materials And Methods: Currently, official data have not yet been published regarding the types of injuries suffered by Israeli civilians during the terror attack.
