Rib fractures are a common injury following blunt chest trauma, accounting for approximately 10% of all traumatic injuries and up to 50% of blunt chest trauma cases. These fractures are associated with a high risk of complications, such as pneumothorax, hemothorax, and pulmonary infections, and can significantly impact respiratory function. This study analyzes the risk factors for poor healing and long-duration pain in the conservative treatment of rib fractures, providing a reference for clinicians in choosing conservative treatment and formulating treatment plans.

Acutely injured trauma patients may develop shock from several potential mechanisms, including hypovolemic shock from hemorrhage, neurogenic shock from traumatic brain injury (TBI) or spinal cord injury, obstructive shock from tension pneumothorax or pericardial tamponade, or a mix of several of these mechanisms. Regardless of the cause, restoration of adequate perfusion is of critical importance to reduce the morbidity and mortality of trauma patients with shock. Multiple interventions including hemorrhage control, volume resuscitation with intravenous fluids or blood products, and pleural decompression procedures are used to address some of these issues and are discussed elsewhere in the trauma compendium.

To determine the benefit of a FDG PET/CT scan prior to CT-guided lung biopsy on the rate of diagnosis, rate of complication, and the identification of potentially safer biopsy sites. This retrospective observational cross-sectional study evaluated consecutive adult patients who underwent CT-guided lung biopsy in 2020 or 2021 at 2 Canadian tertiary care hospitals. These patients were grouped into those that had PET/CT performed within 8 weeks prior to biopsy, within 8 weeks after biopsy, or no PET/CT scan within this time frame.

Background: This study aims to investigate the factors influencing false-negative results in ultrasound-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle lung biopsy results (US-PTLB).
Materials And Methods: This ambispective cohort study included patients with subpleural pulmonary lesions who underwent US-PTLB with benign pathological findings between April 2017 and June 2022 (retrospective cohort) and between July 2022 and October 2022 (prospective cohort). In the retrospective cohort, comparative and logistic regression analyses were performed to identify independent risk factors for false-negative biopsy results.
