Introduction: Thoracic trauma is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in children exposed to blast and early recognition of these injuries is vital. While numerous studies have investigated the sensitivity of chest X-ray (CXR) for the detection of chest injury in blunt trauma, none have evaluated its performance in paediatric blast injury.
Methods: CXR and Computed Tomography (CT) thorax findings were compared for 105 children who were injured by blast and presented to the UK Role 3 Hospital, Camp Bastion, Helmand Province, during the recent conflict in Afghanistan from 2011 to 2013.

Introduction: Fractures in the ankylotic spine may have an insidious presentation but are prone to displace with devastating consequences. The long lever arm of ankylosed spine fragments may lead to pulmonary and great vessel injury and is difficult to adequately immobilize. Conservative treatment will produce in many cases poor outcomes with high morbidity and mortality.

Background: In primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa inhibitors are often given in order to attain and maintain better myocardial perfusion. We tested the hypothesis that intracoronary (IC) bolus of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitors might produce a greater improvement in left ventricular (LV) systolic and diastolic function than an intravenous(IV) bolus.
Methods And Results: Seventy seven patients undergoing primary PCI for their first ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) were randomly assigned to either an IC or IV bolus of GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor, followed by IV infusion.
