By contrast, we found that multiple murine cartilages consist of lipid-filled cells called lipochondrocytes. Despite resembling adipocytes, lipochondrocytes were molecularly distinct and produced lipids exclusively through de novo lipogenesis.

Disaster simulation exercises are important to test service processes, capabilities, and deficiencies; disaster response planning should encompass the entire multidisciplinary team over an extended period. Our service simulated a modest eight burn casualty scenario to test our service capabilities over a 10-week period across medical, nursing, and allied health professions. Requirements due to the mass burns casualty cohort were predicted in terms of theatre requirements, allied health treatment hours required, and nursing hours requirements.

Background: Following the 2022 Russian invasion, Ukraine's healthcare system suffered extensive damage, with over 1000 medical facilities destroyed, exacerbating the trauma care crisis. The absence of standardized trauma training left Ukrainian healthcare providers ill-equipped to manage the surge in trauma cases amid conflict. To bridge this gap, we implemented advanced trauma life support (ATLS) courses in Ukraine amid active warfare, aiming to enhance trauma care expertise among healthcare professionals.
