AI Article Synopsis
- MOTR is a joint military registry established in 2006 for collecting data on orthopaedic injuries among U.S. service members involved in overseas operations.
- It complements the Joint Theater Trauma Registry by providing detailed information on extremity injuries, including patterns, treatment, and complications.
- The registry aims to address the gap in comprehensive data for extremity trauma research, enhancing data-driven disaster management in military settings.
Article Abstract
The Military Orthopaedic Trauma Registry (MOTR) is a comprehensive joint service registry of military orthopaedic injuries. Conceived in 2006, MOTR is now operational for retrospective data entry and prospective data collection of extremity injuries sustained by U.S. service members serving in current Overseas Contingency Operations. Running in tandem with data from the United States Army Institute of Surgical Research's Joint Theater Trauma Registry (JTTR), MOTR augments the casualty data included in JTTR with additional orthopaedic specific data (i.e., the injury patterns, characteristics, treatment, and complications associated with extremity war injuries). Extremity war injuries are the major clinical burden of the current conflicts. However, the scope of the injuries in detail useful to the orthopaedic researcher has never been prospectively collected. MOTR is designed to fill that gap in extremity trauma research. As such, MOTR represents an evolutionary step in the refinement of data-driven disaster management.

Background: Over the last decade, numerous efforts have been made to combat the opioid crisis globally. The impact of these strategies has not been adequately measured and may differ across populations depending on baseline risk. We compared changes in long-term prescription opioid use following surgery within a national US cohort, between 2017 and 2022.

Background: At the beginning of 2022, Central Europe entered a state of emergency due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Nurses were particularly vulnerable to a decline in their professional quality of life, facing repeated exposure to military trauma, ethical dilemmas, prolonged working hours, and increased stress and fatigue. This study aimed to contribute to our understanding of the potential mediating effect of war-related continuous traumatic stress on the association between moral distress and professional quality of life, including compassion satisfaction and compassion fatigue, represented by burnout and secondary traumatic stress.

Osteochondritis dissecans is a rare condition characterized by the deterioration of a small area of bone and cartilage without infection. Its exact cause is unclear, though factors such as abnormal bone development, joint pressure, repetitive injuries, inadequate blood supply, and genetic links have been observed. In this case, a 27-year-old woman experienced chronic right knee pain following a twisting injury, which led to reduced mobility and mild pain.

Although the pathogenesis and mechanism of congenital skeletal dysplasia are better understood, progress in drug development and intervention research remains limited. Here we report that melatonin treatment elicits a mitigating effect on skeletal abnormalities caused by deficiency. In addition to our previous finding of endoplasmic reticulum stress upon deficiency, we found calcium (Ca) overload jointly contributed to -associated chondrodysplasias.
