A three-four year dynamic study of 211 patients (age: 15-60 years) with a history of mild head injury revealed that the younger group of patients (from 20 to 30 years) showed within 3-4 years after the injury a more complete restoration of the higher nervous activity processes than patients of other age groups. In patients suffering of cerebrovascular diseases before mild head injury the dynamics of this restoration depended on the treatment carried out before the head injury.

Background: While glenoid bone loss (GBL) after anterior shoulder instability correlates with poor functional outcomes, the specific effects of GBL in posterior and combined-type shoulder instability remain poorly characterized, especially in a high-risk military population.

Purpose/hypothesis: The purpose of this study was to compare GBL between unidirectional anterior or posterior instability versus combined-type instability in active-duty servicemembers. It was hypothesized that total GBL and GBL in the direction of instability would be greater in those with combined-type instability compared with unidirectional instability.

Platelets to prevent progression of trauma-induced head bleed in patients on antiplatelet medication.

Mount Carmel Health System, 6001 East Broad Street, Columbus, OH 43213, United States.

Background: There are no established guidelines for transfusing platelets in the setting of traumatic brain injury (TBI)-related intracranial hemorrhage for patients on pre-injury antiplatelet medications (APT). Existing literature has produced mixed results regarding the effectiveness of platelet transfusion in containing bleed size or avoiding craniotomy. We compared outcomes of patients on APT with an intracranial bleed due to trauma, between those who did and who did not receive routine platelet transfusion.

Introduction: Targeted temperature management plays an important role in the treatment of myriad critical illnesses. Non-invasive, quick-onset options for isolated brain temperature control remain lacking. The goal of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of a novel intranasal high flow cooled air device using a large animal model.

Predictors of mortality in trauma patients with acute respiratory distress syndrome receiving extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Surg Pract Sci

June 2022

University of California, Irvine, Department of Surgery, Division of Trauma, Burns and Surgical Critical Care, 333 The City Blvd West, Suite 1600, Orange, CA 92868-3298, USA.

Objective: Trauma-related Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (TR-ARDS) mortality ranges from 30 to 80%. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has demonstrated a survival benefit in select cases of TR-ARDS. In order to provide improved patient selection, we evaluated predictors of mortality in TR-ARDS patients receiving ECMO, hypothesizing age and severe thoracic trauma as risk factors for mortality.
