Objective: To estimate the burden of disease for external causes of injury in the department of Casanare during the 2008-2012 period.
Materials And Methods: Retrospective descriptive study on the records of the events grouped as external causes of injury notified to SIVIGILA and the events reported to the Epidemiological Surveillance System of External Causes (SIVELCE). Analysis of time, place, and person variables through descriptive statistics, using templates available via WHO in Microsoft Office® Excel 2013 and Epi-Info® 7.1.3.
Results: Between 2008 and 2012, 5 829 cases grouped as external causes of injury were notified to SIVIGILA: 751 ophidic accidents (12.9%), 3 774 rabies attacks (64.7%), 1 231 poisoning cases (21.1%), 32 gunpowder injuries (0.5%), and 41 cases of violence (0.7%), with a male/female ratio of 1:1, average age of 25±19,3 (r=0.01-92), and 821 disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) (2. 5 years per 1 000 inhabitants). In turn, SIVELCE received 15 539 reports: 12 834 intentional injuries (82.6%) and 2 704 unintentional injuries (17.4%), with a male/female ratio of 1:1, average age of 28±14.1 (r=0.03-90), correlation between dying by intentional injuries vs. unintentional injuries with an odds ratio of OR=0.12 (X2=1 060.56 1 g.l; p value=0.0), and DALY of 18 179 (55.8/1 000).
Conclusions: The external causes of injury affect men and women equally; DALYs occur at the expense of morbidity. All external causes of injury are preventable; therefore, it is necessary to strengthen surveillance, prevention and control actions.

Background: Bicondylar tibial plateau fractures are often associated with significant soft tissue compromise making operative treatment challenging. Dual plating through a two-incision approach following temporary external fixation has been shown to improve complication rates although deep infection rates remain high.The objective was to evaluate early outcomes following a novel technique of percutaneous application of the medial plate superficial to the pes anserinus tendons.

Background: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a change in brain function or evidence of brain pathology caused by external mechanical forces. Brain Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF) is a neurotropin that functions as a neuron protective. Nigella sativa L is reported to have an antioxidant effect, administration of Nigella Sativa L to rats treated with ischemia-reperfusion brain injury.

Reactive and external visual-cognitive demands are prevalent in sport and likely contribute to ACL injury scenarios. However, these demands are absent in common return-to-sport assessments. This disconnect leaves a blind spot for determining when an athlete can return to sport with mitigated re-injury risk.

Objective: Sleep disturbance (SD) is common after pediatric mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and may predict increased postconcussive symptoms (PCS) and prolonged recovery. Our objective was to investigate the relation of SD with PCS in children with mTBI and those with orthopedic injury (OI).
Setting: Emergency departments (EDs) at 2 children's hospitals in the Midwestern United States.
