Stair-descent phenotypes in community-dwelling older adults determined using high-level balance tasks.
Aging Clin Exp Res
January 2025
Department of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation, Kansai Medical University, Osaka, Japan.
Background: Falls on stairs are a major cause of severe injuries among older adults, with stair descent posing significantly greater risks than ascent. Variations in stair descent phenotypes may reflect differences in physical function and biomechanical stability, and their identification may prevent falls.
Aims: This study aims to classify stair descent phenotypes in older adults and investigate the biomechanical and physical functional differences between these phenotypes using hierarchical cluster analysis.
Children who survive torture: A systematic review of screening, documentation and treatment of torture injuries in children.
Torture
January 2025
Clinical Psychologist, Red Cross Treatment Center Uppsala, Swedish Red Cross.
Background: Children all over the world are subjected to torture, but few are identified as victims of these actions. Knowledge that facilitates identification, documentation, and treatment of torture injuries in children can allow redress and rehabilitation for more children in need.
Objective: To synthesise research regarding screening, documentation, and treatment of child survivors of torture.
National Trends in Non-Accidental Pediatric Craniofacial Fractures Requiring Inpatient Admission.
J Craniofac Surg
January 2025
Department of Pediatric Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery, Children's Hospital Colorado.
Introduction: Pediatric craniofacial trauma, particularly from non-accidental trauma (NAT), is a significant cause of injury with enduring physical and psychological impacts. This study analyzes demographic patterns, injury characteristics, and trends in NAT-related craniofacial injuries to inform early identification, intervention, and prevention efforts.
Methods: Analysis of the Healthcare Cost and Utilization Project Kids' Inpatient Database was performed for the years 2009 to 2019.
Pre-Assault Diagnoses Associated with Post-Assault Emergency Department Visits After Recent Sexual Assault.
J Child Sex Abus
January 2025
Georgia State University, Atlanta, GA, USA.
Characteristics associated with individuals who frequent the emergency department at higher rates have been well established; however, factors associated with greater emergency department visits following a recent sexual assault are largely unknown. The current study evaluated the associations between pre-assault factors such as substance use and physical injuries, assault characteristics such as genital injury, non-genital injury, alcohol or drug use involvement, intimate partner involvement, and emergency department visits one-year after a sexual assault medical forensic exam (SAMFE). The current study included a medical record review of 123 individuals who received a SAMFE at a hospital in the United States.

Disabil Rehabil
January 2025
Centre for Aging SMART at Vancouver Coastal Health, Vancouver, BC, Canada.
Purpose: Mental health conditions after mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) are common and can complicate injury outcomes, but are under-treated. According to the Common Sense Model of Self-Regulation, the way patients perceive their health conditions can influence the way they manage them, including if, when, and how they seek treatment. This study explored how individuals perceive persistent symptoms after mTBI, in order to develop a grounded theory about what motivates and demotivates them to seek mental health treatment after their injury.
