The current Russo-Ukrainian war has seen the return of similar patterns seen in the First World War. The aim is to demonstrate a case of facial reconstruction using a rotational flap to highlight the utility of dynamic digital thermography (DDT) and handheld Doppler. A 41-year-old soldier suffered a fragmentation injury to the right half of his upper lip from artillery fire in Eastern Ukraine. Dynamic digital thermography and Doppler were used pre-, intra-, and postoperatively to monitor the clinical status of the rotational flap. The patient made an excellent recovery and was discharged on postoperative Day 7. Dynamic multimodal monitoring of the wound throughout the reconstruction aids clinical decision-making, especially when access to computed tomography is limited. This novel application of existing technology may have relevance for military or humanitarian surgeons who must be prepared to deal with significant injuries without access to cross-sectional imaging.

The Russo-Ukrainian war's prolonged warfare, resource constraints, and extended evacuation times have forced significant adaptations in Ukraine's medical system - including technological advancements and strategic resource placement. This study examined if the Abdominal Aortic and Junctional Tourniquet - Stabilized (AAJT-S) could manage traumatic cardiac arrest (TCA) at forward surgical stabilization sites (FSSS) as an adjunct to damage control surgery. Six patients in severe hypovolemic shock presented at an FSSS during fighting in Bakhmut (July 2022) and Slovyansk (May 2023).

Objective: The ongoing war in Ukraine has introduced many challenges to an already overburdened and resource-limited medical system. Longitudinal collaborations, material support, educational outreach, and surgical mentorship are essential for improving outcomes and standards of neurosurgical care in extreme settings such as in times of war.
Methods: Operating in Ukraine since 2016 through the coordination of Razom, the Co-Pilot Project has organized multiple United States-based mission trips to Ukraine to support local physicians during wartime, including a trip between April and May of 2023.

The Continuous Traumatic Stress Response scale (CTSR) was designed to measure symptoms associated with multiple ongoing security threats in the context of Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Since 2014, Ukraine has faced armed invasion and war, with nationwide insecurity since February 2022. This study aimed to adapt the CTSR scale into Ukrainian and evaluate its psychometric properties within a Ukrainian sample during the ongoing war.

Department of Labor Law, Yaroslav Mudryi National Law University, Kharkiv, Ukraine.
Background: The issue of professional adaptation of servicemen who return to civilian life after dismissal from the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other military formations is highly relevant. This urgency depends on the dramatic changes in their living conditions and requires mastering the rules of behavior and communication in civilian life, improving the existing knowledge, competencies, and skills, and promoting successful employment.
Objective: The purpose of the work is to study modern institutional approaches to the process of labor adaptation of former servicemen, to study the experience of foreign countries, and to formulate ways to improve the Ukrainian system of professional adaptation of former servicemen.
