A 16-year-old boy was assaulted with a broken bottle, which inflicted a deep right-sided cervicofacial injury. Exploration, however, revealed a split parotid gland along its plane of cleavage preserving the facial nerve and major cervical blood vessels with a unique traumatic dissection simulating surgical suprafacial parotidectomy.

Accurate and rapid diagnosis of traumatic brain injury (TBI) is essential for high-quality medical services. Nonetheless, the current diagnostic platform still has challenges in rapidly and accurately analysing clinical samples. Here, we prepared a highly stable, repeatable and sensitive gold-plated silver core-shell nanowire (Ag@AuNWs) for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) metabolic fingerprint diagnosis of TBI.

Traumatic optic neuropathy (TON) is a rare condition resulting from damage to the optic nerve due to craniofacial trauma. It can present as direct or indirect injuries, with mechanisms ranging from mechanical disruption by fractures in direct TON to transmitted forces causing shearing and ischemia in indirect TON. These injuries often lead to significant visual impairment or complete vision loss, requiring timely diagnosis and intervention.

Most patients with post-traumatic and/or degenerative wrist arthritis present with pain and limitation of activities of daily living. Wrist denervation using a two-incision technique is an alternative to proximal row carpectomy and partial or total wrist arthrodesis. The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether two-incision denervation is a valid procedure for reducing pain in wrist arthritis of different etiologies.
