Background: Traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) causes spinal cord swelling and occlusion of the subarachnoid space (SAS). SAS occlusion can change pulsatile cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) dynamics, which could have acute clinical management implications. This study aimed to characterise SAS occlusion and investigate CSF dynamics over 14 days post-SCI in the pig.

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC), also known as stress-induced cardiomyopathy, is a rare condition in children that causes acute, severe, but often reversible systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle. Physical trauma is a recognized trigger, although distinguishing TTC from myocardial contusion in pediatric trauma cases can be challenging due to overlapping clinical features. We present the case of a six-year-old boy involved in a high-impact motor vehicle collision.

Dealing with spinal cord injuries presents problematic due to multiple secondary mechanisms. Beyond primary concerns like paralysis and disability, complications including urinary, gastrointestinal, cardiac, and respiratory disorders, along with substantial economic burdens may occur. Limited research focuses on modeling and treating contusion and compression injuries.

Aim/purpose: This study aimed to apply a shock wave from the ventral side of a pig and examine its effect to use the results for new body armor production for humans.
Methods: Seven male hybrid pigs were used. Each pig was placed under general anesthesia on the experimental table in a blast tube in the left lateral position to expose the front chest area, and shock waves generated by compressed air at 3.
