A retrospective survey of injuries that were treated during 1985-1986 in the emergency rooms of the four general hospitals managed by the Departamento del Distrito Federal was carried out. Data were classified by month, day of the week, shift, degree of alcohol intake, type of injury (according to the 9th revision of the International Disease Classification), age-group, sex, cause of the injury (accident or violence), and the area to where the patients were channeled after leaving the emergency room. The most affected age groups were 15-19 and 20-24 years. Males accounted for 70% of the cases. In this study we present information that will prove valuable for the planning, control, and evaluation of emergency care programs in hospitals specialized in injuries.
Neuropathic pain, one of the most refractory pain diseases, remains a formidable medical challenge. There is still an unmet demand for effective and safe therapies to address this condition. Herein, a rat model of nerve injury-induced neuropathic pain is first established to explore its pathophysiological characteristics.
Objective: Aim: To analyze modern threats of the use of chemical warfare agents on the line of contact during the full-scale invasion into Ukraine.
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: The study was carried out with the use of theoretical methods (information retrieval, analytical, descriptive, generalization, system analysis and information synthesis) and the construction of trends with the identification of the coefficient of determination.
Results: Results: Most of damage cases of the military men of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were caused by the enemy's use of such groups of chemical warfare agents with an irritating effect as lacrimators and sternites, more specifically K-51 grenades with chloropicrin (PS) and 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS), RGR grenade with 2-chlorobenzalmalononitrile (CS) and RG-Vo (862-3-23) grenades with chloroacetophenone (CN).
Objective: Sulfur mustard (SM) is an important chemical warfare agent. The mechanisms underlying SM toxicity have not been completely elucidated. However, oxidative stress and the subsequent damage to macromolecules have been considered ascrucial steps in SM toxicity.
From a taxonomic point of view, Hymenoptera are subclassified into families: Apidae, including honeybees (Apis mellifera) and bumblebees (Bombus), and Vespidae, which, in turn, are divided into the subfamilies of Vespinae (wasps, including hornets, vespules, dolichovespules) and Polistinae (paper wasp). Hypersensitivity to Hymenoptera venom can be linked to immunological (IgE-mediated or non-IgE-mediated) and non-immunological mechanisms. Reactions are classified into local reactions, large local reactions, systemic reactions, toxic reactions, and unusual reactions.

Excessive formation of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) has been shown to exacerbate inflammatory injury and organ damage in patients with sepsis. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) abnormally expressed in immune cells of sepsis patients, and play an important role in the pathogenesis of dysregulated immune responses. However, the functions of circRNAs in NET formation during sepsis remain unknown.
