Objective: To examine if chronological age within Canadian youth ice hockey's 2-year age bands influences the proportion of injury.
Design: Retrospective secondary data analyses.
Participants: Information on 4736 injured youth ice hockey players (10-15 years old) reported by the Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting Prevention Program (CHIRPP) and 4959 (12-15 years old) injured players reported by the Hockey Canada Insurance Database (HCID).
Main Outcome Measures: Proportions of injuries according to constituent year (first vs second year of participation within 2-year youth ice hockey age bands).
Independent Variables: The influence of age band (Atom, 10/11; Peewee, 12/13; Bantam, 14/15) and level of competitive play on constituent year injury proportions were examined.
Results: Injured Atom and Peewee players (CHIRPP) were more likely to be in constituent year 2 (Atom: odds ratio [OR], 1.72; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.46-2.03; Peewee: OR, 1.25; 95% CI, 1.10-1.42). Injured players (HCID) at the highest tiers of competitive play were more likely to be in constituent year 2 (eg, Peewee: OR, 2.91; 95% CI, 1.92-4.41; Bantam: 1.89; 95% CI, 1.46-2.46).
Conclusion: Constituent year may be a factor in determining injury risk and may be relevant to those managing the risk of injury for youth ice hockey players.

The importance of liver dysfunction in predicting mortality in patients undergoing cardiovascular surgery is an important topic due to the general desire to improve current risk scores such as EUROSCORE II (European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation), with EUROSCORE III being currently under development. The model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) Score has already proven its utility in predicting outcomes for patients undergoing abdominal, cardiovascular or urological surgery. In the present study, we want to see its usefulness in proving the postoperative mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery.

Intrusive luxation is one of the most severe types of dental trauma that needs immediate intervention. Various treatment modalities are passive, active, and surgical repositioning performed to prevent healing complications such as root resorption, pulp necrosis, ankylosis, and infraocclusion of the traumatized teeth. This case report discusses a patient with traumatically intruded incisors while undergoing orthodontic treatment.

Still today, peptic ulcer disease (PUD) is a major digestive illness that affects millions of people around the world every year. This study looks at both traditional and herbal ways of treating PUD, focusing on how they work, how well they work, and whether they can work together. Pharmaceuticals like antibiotics, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and H2-receptor antagonists are common ways to treat the condition.

Association between long-term exposure to ambient fine particulate matter (PM) and lung cancer incidence is well-documented. However, the role of different PM constituents [black carbon (BC), ammonium (NH), nitrate (NO), organic matter (OM), and inorganic sulfate (SO)] remain unclear. The study aimed to specify the associations between PM constituents and lung cancer incidence.
