Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) can be utilized for hemodynamic monitoring and resuscitation. In order to study the pattern of TEE use in trauma patients, a multi-institutional retrospective cohort study was performed comparing adult trauma patients who underwent TEE or those who underwent traditional invasive hemodynamic monitoring (TIHM). TIHM was defined as the use of arterial line, central venous line, or pulmonary artery catheter without TEE. Mortality rates were obtained and multivariable logistic regression was used to risk adjust for age, gender, race, insurance status, Glasgow coma scale (GCS), ICD Injury severity score (ICISS). Compared to TIHM group, more patients in TEE group had a history of congestive heart failure (CHF) or chronic pulmonary disease (CPD). Mortality rate was lower in the TEE group 7 versus 23% (-value < .0001). After adjusting for GCS and ICISS in multivariable analysis, inpatient mortality was significantly lower in the TEE cohort.

Comparison of antegrade and retrograde laparoscopic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer.
J Cancer Res Ther
December 2024
Department of Radiotherapy, Shandong Second Provincial General Hospital, Jinan, Shandong, People's Republic of China.
Purpose: To investigate and compare the feasibility, safety, and clinical outcomes of antegrade and retrograde laparoscopic bilateral inguinal lymphadenectomy for penile cancer.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the clinical data of 32 patients with penile cancer admitted between 2018 and 2022. Among them, 17 patients underwent antegrade laparoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (ALIL group) and 15 underwent retrograde laparoscopic inguinal lymphadenectomy (RLIL group).

Disorders of Lymphatic Architecture and Flow in Critical Illness.
Crit Care Med
January 2025
Division of Trauma, Surgical Critical Care and Emergency Surgery, Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA.
Objectives: To provide a narrative review of disordered lymphatic dynamics and its impact on critical care relevant condition management.
Data Sources: Detailed search strategy using PubMed and Ovid Medline for English language articles (2013-2023) describing congenital or acquired lymphatic abnormalities including lymphatic duct absence, injury, leak, or obstruction and their associated clinical conditions that might be managed by a critical care medicine practitioner.
Study Selection: Studies that specifically addressed abnormalities of lymphatic flow and their management were selected.
Windows in the ICU and Postoperative Delirium: A Retrospective Cohort Study.
Crit Care Med
January 2025
Mass General Brigham (MGB) Health Design Lab, Boston, MA.
Objectives: The ICU built environment-including the presence of windows-has long been thought to play a role in delirium. This study investigated the association between the presence or absence of windows in patient rooms and ICU delirium.
Design: Retrospective single institution cohort study.
How Does Diploic Space Thickness Change With Age?
J Craniofac Surg
January 2025
Division of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, The Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.
Background: Cranial defects from trauma, surgery, or congenital conditions require precise reconstruction to restore cranial vault integrity. Autogenous calvarial grafts are preferred for their histocompatibility and biomechanical properties, but their success depends on a well-developed diploic space. Although prior studies have described overall skull thickness development, less is known about how diploic thickness changes through adulthood.
