Traumatic coronary artery dissection resulting from blunt trauma, is a relatively rare and life-threatening event. We present a case report of a 42-year-old male who presented with electrocardiogram abnormality and cardiac enzyme elevation following a fall from a height of 3 m. The patient was misdiagnosed with stress-induced cardiomyopathy because of the absence of clinical signs of acute coronary syndrome. The patient was subsequently diagnosed with traumatic coronary artery dissection using coronary angiography, and the relevance of the trauma was confirmed using intravascular ultrasonography (IVUS). Herein, we highlight that trauma team should maintain a high suspicion of traumatic coronary artery dissection, although the early recognition of traumatic coronary artery dissection can be difficult. Additionally, the importance of coronary angiography with IVUS modalities for the evaluation of traumatic coronary artery dissection is highlighted.

Background: Cell-free hemoglobin (CFH) and free heme are potent mediators of endotheliopathy and organ injury in sepsis, but their roles in other hemolytic pathologies are not well-defined. A prime example is trauma where early hemolysis may initiate damage and predict outcome. Here, we investigated the presence of plasma CFH, heme, and their major scavengers after traumatic injury.

Background: Prior research suggests that plasma may improve outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI). We examined the association between plasma administration and mortality in moderate-severe TBI in a large retrospective cohort, hypothesizing plasma is associated with decreased mortality after accounting for confounding covariates.
Materials And Methods: Patients from the 2017-2020 Trauma Quality Improvement Program (TQIP) dataset ≥18 years with moderate-severe TBI were included.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) significantly affects social interactions and emotional well-being. Following COVID-19, there has been growing interest in how individuals with TBI use online social media groups for support. This study examined engagement patterns in four Facebook support groups: two for TBI and two control groups.

Objective: Aim: To determine the effect of cell therapy on the intensity of lipid peroxidation processes in the liver, kidneys and lungs of rats of different ages under conditions of experimental cranio-skeletal trauma (CST).
Patients And Methods: Materials and Methods: In the experiments, 129 white male Wistar line rats of different age groups were used: immature rats aged 100-120 days and weighing 90-110 g; mature rats aged 6-8 months and weighing 180-200 g; and old rats aged 19-23 months and weighing 300-320 g. In each age group, CST was modeled under thiopental sodium anesthesia.

Vasovagal syncope (VVS), characterized by transient loss of consciousness, is among the most prevalent reasons for emergency visits worldwide. Although benign in nature, VVS can be accompanied by traumatic injury, leading to morbidity and decreased quality of life, especially in those with VVS recurrence. The management includes non-pharmacologic and pharmacologic therapies (if resistant), patient education and reassurance, salt and fluid intake increase, and physical counter-pressure maneuvers.
