AI Article Synopsis
- Tako-tsubo syndrome is rarely observed in males and may be misdiagnosed due to its atypical, painless presentation.
- It often occurs in response to acute stress, whether inside or outside a hospital setting, and may not always have a favorable prognosis.
- Diagnosis is primarily achieved through imaging techniques like echocardiography, which can identify characteristic apical ballooning; a clinical case is presented where a patient admitted for a liver contusion was found to have this syndrome incidentally.
Article Abstract
Tako-tsubo syndrome is very rare in male patients, often overlooked by practitioners in its atypical form painless, and who did not always a good prognostic, often revealed in a context of acute stress at any time in the hospital or outside, its pathophysiology remains to discuss, the diagnosis is greatly facilitated by imaging including echocardiography with apical ballooning. We relate this clinical case of a patient admitted to the ICU for a liver contusion with a diagnosis incidentally this syndrome.

Modulation of the hepatic RANK-RANKL-OPG axis by combined C5 and CD14 inhibition in a long-term polytrauma model.

Institute of Clinical and Experimental Trauma Immunology, Ulm University Medical Center, Ulm, Germany.
Background: Polytrauma and hemorrhagic shock can lead to direct and indirect liver damage involving intricate pathophysiologic mechanisms. While hepatic function has been frequently highlighted, there is minimal research on how the receptor activator of the NF-κB (RANK)/RANK ligand (RANKL)/osteoprotegerin (OPG) system is regulated in the liver following trauma. Furthermore, cross-talking complement and toll-like-receptor (TLR) systems can contribute to the posttraumatic response.

Avatrombopag is a next-generation thrombopoietin receptor agonist approved for the treatment of thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic liver disease scheduled to undergo surgery and thrombocytopenia in patients with chronic immune thrombocytopenia. However, realistic data on its post-marketing long-term safety and tolerability in large sample populations are incomplete. The adverse event (AE) reports of avatrombopag were analyzed based on the FAERS database.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed lower limb and pelvic fractures in hospitalized children across 27 hospitals in China, focusing on factors like causes, locations, and associated injuries from 2015 to 2019.
- Preschool children had the highest incidence of fractures, with a total of 14,398 fractures recorded, primarily affecting the femur, tibia, fibula, and pelvis.
- The leading causes of fractures were falls, traffic accidents, and falls from height, with respiratory traumas being the most common concurrent injuries observed.
Proportional Versus Fixed Chest Compression Depth for Guideline-Compliant Resuscitation of Infant Asphyxial Cardiac Arrest.
Prehosp Emerg Care

University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the potential for injury during chest compressions (CC) on infants and children, comparing two depth targets: 1.5 inches and 1/3 of the anterior-posterior chest diameter (APD), finding that the latter may lead to more severe injuries.
- - Using an anesthetized swine model, researchers induced asphyxia and delivered CC using both depth targets to assess the resulting injuries, with various factors being monitored and analyzed post-resuscitation.
- - Results from 36 animals showed significant differences in injury characteristics between the two compression depths, prompting further evaluation of safe guidelines for pediatric resuscitation practices.
Artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction in abdominal CT of patients with irregular arm positioning: a case-by-case evaluation.

Department of Radiology, The Fourth Affiliated Hospital of Soochow University, Suzhou, PR China.
Background: Streak artifacts induced by irregular arm positioning have been an issue in diagnosing the abdomen.
Purpose: To illustrate the risk of misdiagnosis in abdominal computed tomography (CT) of patients with irregular arm positioning through a case-by-case evaluation and to test if it can be solved by the artificial intelligence iterative reconstruction (AIIR) algorithm.
Material And Methods: By reviewing 5220 cases of chest and thoracoabdominal CT, 64 patients with irregular arm positioning were enrolled, whose image data were reconstructed using AIIR in addition to routine hybrid iterative reconstruction (HIR).
