In recent years, the emergency medical services in Wiesbaden and the Rheingau-Taunus district made great efforts to standardise structures. Since there are only few established procedures in the annual examinations for paramedics, there is reason to assume that treatment procedures for patients have not been standardised either. Materials and equipment are not handled uniformly, and employee satisfaction has significantly decreased over the last few years. To solve these problems, all paramedics undergo standardised and structured trainings. These training courses make use of the internationally accepted PHTLS (Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support) and AMLS (Advanced Life Support Medial) programmes. In addition, practising skills and handling the equipment as well as on-scene supervision is to be established in practical training sessions.

Deep learning for kidney trauma detection: CT image algorithm performance and external validation: experimental study.
Int J Surg
January 2025
Department of Trauma and Emergency Surgery, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital, Linkou; Chang Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan.
Background: Detecting kidney trauma on CT scans can be challenging and is sometimes overlooked. While deep learning (DL) has shown promise in medical imaging, its application to kidney injuries remains underexplored. This study aims to develop and validate a DL algorithm for detecting kidney trauma, using institutional trauma data and the Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) dataset for external validation.

Termination of Resuscitation Rules for In-Hospital Cardiac Arrest.
JAMA Intern Med
January 2025
Department of Clinical Medicine, Aarhus University, Aarhus, Denmark.
Importance: There are no validated decision rules for terminating resuscitation during in-hospital cardiac arrest. Decision rules may guide termination and prevent inappropriate early termination of resuscitation.
Objective: To develop and validate termination of resuscitation rules for in-hospital cardiac arrest.
Emerging Deep Brain Stimulation Targets in the Cerebellum for Tremor.
Cerebellum
January 2025
Department of Neurology, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA.
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) for essential tremor is remarkably effective, leading to over 80% reduction in standardized tremor ratings. However, for certain types of tremor, such as those accompanied by ataxia or dystonia, conventional DBS targets have shown poor efficacy. Various rationales for using cerebellar DBS stimulation to treat tremor have been advanced, but the varied approaches leave many questions unanswered: which anatomic target, stimulation settings, and indications seem most promising for this emerging approach.
