The tissue-plasminogen activator-challenged thromboelastography provides a comprehensive assessment of fibrinolysis in the severely injured.

J Trauma Acute Care Surg

January 2025

From the Division of Acute Care Surgery, Department of Surgery (E.R.M., T.B.M., C.M.W., H.S., R.H., C.D.B.), University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska; Department of Surgery (H.B.M.), AdventHealth Porter; Department of Surgery (E.E.M., J.G.C.), Ernest E Moore Shock Trauma Center at Denver Health, Denver; Department of Surgery (E.E.M.), University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, Aurora, Colorado; Hunter College (I.M.B.), New York, New York; Sauaia Statistical Solutions, LLC (A.S.), Denver, Colorado; and Department of Cellular and Integrative Physiology (F.I.G., C.D.B.), University of Nebraska Medical Center, Omaha, Nebraska.

Background: Tissue-plasminogen activator-challenged thromboelastography (tPA-TEG) predicts massive transfusion and mortality better than conventional rapid thromboelastography (rTEG), with little concordance between their lysis values (LY30). We hypothesized that the main fibrinolytic inhibitors plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) and α-2 antiplasmin (A2AP), as well as markers of fibrinolytic activation (plasmin-antiplasmin [PAP], tPA-PAI-1 complex, tPA activity), would correlate more strongly with tPA-TEG versus rTEG LY30 and may explain the recent findings of four distinct fibrinolytic phenotypes in trauma based on these two TEG methodologies.

Methods: Adult trauma patients (n = 56) had tPA-TEG, rTEG, and plasma obtained on arrival to the emergency department with institutional review board approval.

Introduction: American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) persons disproportionately suffer from end-stage kidney disease caused by diabetes (ESKD-D). Kidney transplant is the most desirable option to treating ESKD-D, but remains unattainable for many AI/AN persons, especially in rural South Dakota (SD). Additionally, palliative and hospice care options for AI/AN with any serious illness in SD are largely inaccessible.

Fractures are common injuries in childhood and can be caused by unintentional injury, medical conditions, and child abuse. Although the consequences of failing to diagnose an abusive injury in a child can be grave, the consequences of incorrectly diagnosing child abuse in a child whose fractures have another etiology are also significant. This report aims to review recent advances in the understanding of fracture specificity, fracture mechanisms, and other medical conditions that predispose infants and children to fracture.

Background: Implementation of physical activity (PA) initiatives within the scope of Primary Health Care (PHC) is still a challenge for the field of public health. It is necessary to consolidate operational processes to promote PA in the daily lives of patients in PHC. The use of implementation science has significant potential for advancing PA initiatives.
