Is pre-hospital haemoglobin an efficient marker of the need for transfusion and haemorrhagic shock in severe trauma patients? A retrospective observational study.
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.

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.

J Spinal Cord Med
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.
Performance of individual criteria of the Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) intraabdominal injury prediction rule.
Acad Emerg Med
January 2025
Department of Emergency Medicine, UC Davis School of Medicine, Sacramento, California, USA.
Objective: The Pediatric Emergency Care Applied Research Network (PECARN) derived and externally validated a clinical prediction rule to identify children with blunt torso trauma at low risk for intraabdominal injuries undergoing acute intervention (IAI). Little is known about the risk for IAI when only one or two prediction rule variables are positive. We sought to determine the risk for IAI when either one or two PECARN intraabdominal injury rule variables are positive.

Jiangxi Institute of Respiratory Disease, Jiangxi Clinical Research Center for Respiratory Diseases, The Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The First Affiliated Hospital, Jiangxi Medical College, Nanchang University, Nanchang, Jiangxi, P.R. China.
The increasing incidence of infections attributed to hypervirulent carbapenem-resistant (Hv-CRKp) is of considerable concern. Bacteriophages, also known as phages, are viruses that specifically infect bacteria; thus, phage-based therapies offer promising alternatives to antibiotic treatments targeting Hv-CRKp infections. In this study, two isolated bacteriophages, Kpph1 and Kpph9, were characterized for their specificity against the Hv-CRKp NUHL30457 strain that possesses a K2 capsule serotype.
