Unlabelled: Polytraumatisms have always been a concern in human history, their number increasing especially during wars. Their forecast depends on many factors, starting from means of transportation, first aid's promptitude, technical endowment which evolved a lot within the years. Amongst the thoracal-abdominal, the cranial-cerebral and vertebral-medullary injuries, the cranial-cerebral and the abdominal injuries are the most severe ones. We hereby present the evaluation scales according to various criteria (seriousness, prognosis, clinical valutation). In the case of abdominal and neurosurgical injuries the symptomatology can be modified by addition or defalcation, which may cause diagnostic errors with consequences upon morbidity and mortality.
Material And Method: We hereby present a study accomplished within three departments: Piatra Neamţ Emergency Hospital, Piatra Neamţ Coronary Office and Iaşi Neurosurgery Clinic, and we find the injury associations in polytrauma cases.
Results: We notice a prevalence of the male sex, of the country people, of traffic accidents, of the active age 20-60 years old. The association within abdominal trauma and neurological injuries is of 16.97% in Iaşi Neurosurgery Clinic. After being solved, the neurological injuries are sent to surgery departments, for solution or surveillance.
Conclusion: In order to optimize the medical assistance for traumatized persons we hereby recommend a polytrauma centre establishment.

Prostate Dimensions and Their Impact on LUTS and Erectile Function: Is Length the Missing Link?
J Clin Med
November 2024
Department of Urology, Iului Hatieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy, 400129 Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
: The objective of this study is to explore potential correlations between prostate volume, LUTS, and IIEF, with a particular emphasis on the relationship between prostate dimensions-width, height, and length-and both LUTS and IIEF and to assess patients based on risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, smoking, alcohol consumption, and PSA levels. : A retrospective multicenter study was conducted between January 2007 and December 2023, focusing on male patients over the age of 40. The study evaluated hypertension, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, smoking, alcohol consumption, and lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) through the completion of the IPSS and QoL questionnaires, sexual function using the IIEF-15, and PSA levels.

Background: Chondral defects in the knee present a significant challenge due to their limited self-healing capacity, often leading to joint degeneration and functional disability. Current treatments, including surgical approaches like mosaicplasty and regenerative therapies such as bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) augmentation, aim to address these defects and improve patient outcomes.
Materials And Methods: This study conducted a single-center, randomized controlled trial to evaluate the efficacy of different treatment approaches and rehabilitation protocols for chondral defects.
Can Combining Hyaluronic Acid and Physiotherapy in Knee Osteoarthritis Improve the Physicochemical Properties of Synovial Fluid?
Biomedicines
February 2024
Department of Biomedical Sciences, Faculty of Medical Bioengineering, University of Medicine and Pharmacy "Grigore T. Popa", 700454 Iasi, Romania.
Known as the degenerative disease of the knee with the highest prevalence, knee osteoarthritis (KOA) is characterized by a gradual destructive mechanism that, in severe cases, can provoke the need for total knee substitution. As the disease progresses, various enzymatic, immunological, and inflammatory processes abnormally degrade hyaluronic acid (HA), SF's main component, and affect the concentrations of specific proteins, with the final results seriously endangering synovial fluid (SF)'s rheological and tribological features and characteristics. No effective treatments have been found to stop the progression of KOA, but the injection of HA-based viscoelastic gels has been considered (alone or combined with physiotherapy (PT)) as an alternative to symptomatic therapies.
