Introduction: Blunt renal trauma manifest at macro- and microstructural levels as concussions, bruises or lacerations. The pyelonephritis predominates in structure of posttraumatic compli- cations.

Aim: To study immune changes in patients with renal trauma and their effect on the development of inflammatory post-traumatic complications.

Materials And Methods: Multivariate statistical analysis of immunological parameters in the immediate post-traumatic period in 92 patients with 2-3 degrees of isolated blunt renal trauma, according to the classification OIS/OI AAST, 2018), was carried out.

Results: three main components were identified: the first was associated with the lymphocyte count; the second component included high indicators of adaptive cellular immunity CD+19, CD+8, while the third component represented indicators of nonspecific humoral immunity. They accounted for 43.7%, 37.5% and 18.9% of the variance of intergroup differences, respectively. A strong negative correlation between neutrophils and lymphocytes and a weak positive correlation between IgM and IgG were revealed, which altogether indicated the preserved adaptive response of the immune system.

Conclusion: The multivariate analysis of immunological reactivity suggests a sufficient degree of mobilization of the immune system for the adequate adaptive response in patients with isolated blunt kidney trauma, which makes the prediction of the development of post-traumatic pyelonephritis doubtful.

Background: Seizures in Alzheimer's Disease (AD) are increasingly recognized to occur and can increase cognitive decline and reduce survival compared to unaffected age-matched peers (Lyou et al. 2018). Administration of antiseizure medicines (ASMs) to AD patients with epileptiform activity may improve cognition (Vossel et al.

Excess lipid droplet (LD) accumulation is associated with several pathological states, including Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the mechanism(s) by which changes in LD composition and dynamics contribute to pathophysiology of these disorders remains unclear. Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is a droplet associated protein with a common risk variant (E4) that confers the largest increase in genetic risk for late-onset AD.

The abdomen does not lie, but the labs might: Predictors of intra-abdominal injury on computed tomography imaging in pediatric blunt trauma patients.

J Trauma Acute Care Surg

January 2025

From the Division of Trauma, Critical Care, Emergency Surgery, and Burns, Department of Surgery, College of Medicine, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona.

Article Synopsis
  • This study reviews predictors of intra-abdominal injury in pediatric patients with blunt abdominal trauma using data from a Level II trauma center from 2018 to 2022.
  • It found that while various clinical signs and laboratory results were present, a significant number of patients with intra-abdominal injuries (IAI) did not show abnormal lab results, highlighting the complexity in diagnosis.
  • Key independent predictors for IAI included abdominal tenderness, abnormal plain x-rays, and positive ultrasound, suggesting that physical exams and imaging are critical in decision-making for CT scans, rather than relying solely on lab results.

Retrospective validation of the STUMBL score in a Level 1 trauma centre.

Injury

December 2024

Unlabelled: Chest trauma is a common presentation to major trauma centres. Risk assessment tools have proven useful to support decision making in this group and the STUMBL (STUdy of the Management of BLunt chest wall trauma) score is one such measure that has been increasingly utilised. The aim of this study was to retrospectively validate the STUMBL score in an Australian population of patients admitted following chest trauma.

Acute intoxication by toluene usually follows intentional inhalation to achieve a "high", which may lead to repeated use due to toluene's reinforcing properties. In both acute and chronic intoxication brain function is primarily affected. Neuronal and glial elements participate in toluene's reinforcing properties and chronic toxicity, yet the targets underlying acute toxicity remain unknown.
