Relevant data including diagnosis and treatment model, operation situation, etc. are analyzed in our wound care center and compared with abroad based-on literature retrieval, to find out a suitable way for setting up wound care centers in our country. Wound care center with mode of multidisciplinary cooperation that is "specialist-oriented" was established in our hospital, mirroring the experience of foreign wound care centers. The investigation showed the demands of patients could be met, their psychological and economic pressures as well as social burden might be greatly relieved in our center. For an example, we achieved our purpose readily by setting up a clinical pathway of diabetic foot according to the features of our hospital. The model of multidisciplinary cooperation, with minor adjustments, may be applicable for wound care centers at home and abroad. Our wound care center will establish better system of diagnosis and treatment to conform to the situation in our country.

Discharge Disposition after Total Hip Arthroplasty: A 10-Year Analysis of Trends and Predictors of Nonhome Discharge (2011-2021).
J Am Acad Orthop Surg
January 2025
From the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Cleveland Clinic Foundation, Cleveland, OH (Pasqualini, Ibaseta, T Khan, and Piuzzi), the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, Cleveland, OH (Pan, Xu, and Austin), the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Larkin Community Hospital, South Miami, FL (Corces), and Levitetz Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, the Cleveland Clinic Florida, Weston, FL (Higuera).
Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) practices are evolving under the influence of the current value-based healthcare system and bundled payment models. This study aimed to (1) evaluate national trends in discharge disposition and postoperative outcomes after THA, (2) compare discharge cohorts on episode-of-care parameters, and (3) determine predictors of nonhome discharge from 2011 to 2021.
Methods: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program database was queried for THA data from 2011 to 2021.

Background: In modern conflicts, extremities are mainly affected, with limb amputations required for approximately 5% of severely injured combatants and 7% of those with serious limb injuries. Amputations are some of the most challenging injuries endured by survivors, significantly affecting the patients and the healthcare system. This study aims to describe the rates, characteristics, and risk factors of limb amputations in patients with serious extremity trauma during the 2023 conflict in Israel.

Eur J Trauma Emerg Surg
January 2025
Intensive Care Department, Sainte Anne Military Teaching Hospital, Toulon, France.
Background: Haemorrhagic shock is the leading cause of preventable death among trauma patients. Early detection of severe haemorrhage is essential for initiating timely resuscitation and mobilizing resources for massive transfusion (MT) protocols and damage control procedures. This study aimed to assess the predictive value of prehospital haemoglobin (Hb) levels for the need for transfusion at admission, the presence of haemorrhagic shock (HS), and the necessity for MT or haemostatic surgery.

Adv Wound Care (New Rochelle)

Division of Plastic Surgery, University of Massachusetts Chan Medical School, Worcester, Massachusetts, USA.
Autologous adipose tissue grafting (AAG) can provide soft tissue reconstruction in congenital defects, traumatic injuries, cancer care, or cosmetic procedures; over 94,000 AAG procedures are performed in the United States every year. Despite its effectiveness, the efficiency of AAG is limited by unpredictable adipocyte survival, impacting graft volume retention (26-83%). Acellular adipose matrices (AAMs) have emerged as a potential alternative to AAG.

January 2025
Minneapolis Veterans Affairs Health Care System, Minneapolis, MN, USA.
Context: Clinical Practice Guidelines from the Consortium for Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) Medicine recommend daily self-screening of at-risk skin surfaces, but many Veterans with SCI describe challenges using the standard issue long-handled self-inspection mirror (LSIM).
Objective: The objective of this project was to compare the LSIM to a recently developed camera-based self-inspection system (CSIS). User feedback guided iterative engineering to improve and develop the new technology in preparation for transfer to industry.
