Country economic status is strongly associated with burn survival - validation of the (modified) ABSI.
Int J Equity Health

Background: Predicting burn-related mortality is vital for family counseling, triage, and resource allocation. Several of the burn-specific mortality prediction scores have been developed, including the Abbreviated Burn Severity Index (ABSI) in 1982. However, these scores are not tested for accuracy to support contemporary estimates of the global burden of burn injury.

Planting structure adjustment (PSA) affects agricultural water saving, and is an essential part of water-saving agricultural construction. This study introduced virtual water theory and innovatively constructed a model to assess the water-saving effects of PSA in Shiyang River Basin over the past 38 years, explore the relationship between planting structure and water saving, and clarify the most water-saving planting structure. The results showed that the sown area of economic crops consistently increased as food crop areas decreased in the four counties (districts) from 1980 to 2017.

World J Crit Care Med
December 2024
Department of Surgery, Trauma Surgery Section, Hamad Medical Corporation, Doha 3050, Qatar.
Background: Most trauma occurs among young male subjects in Qatar. We examined the predictive values of the delta shock index (DSI), defined as the change in the shock index (SI) value from the scene to the initial reading in the emergency unit (, subtracting the calculated SI at admission from SI at the scene), at a Level 1 trauma center.
Aim: To explore whether high DSI is associated with severe injuries, more interventions, and worse outcomes [, blood transfusion, exploratory laparotomy, ventilator-associated pneumonia, hospital length of stay (HLOS), and in-hospital mortality] in trauma patients.
Pelvic fractures and thoracolumbar spine injury: A critical overlook in high-impact vehicular trauma management.

Introduction: Pelvic fractures (PF) occur in up to 9 % of trauma cases, primarily from high-impact events, and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality due to frequent concomitant injuries. Thoracolumbar (TL) spinal fractures, particularly at the T10-L2 junction, are also common in high-energy trauma but are less frequently examined in association with PF. Missed TL fractures can lead to serious neurological deficits.

Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for diagnosing obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in children but not always available. Abbreviated exams exist, such as respiratory polygraphy (RP), but are less accurate for OSA diagnosis. Video recording (video-RP) may provide a more precise estimation of the total sleep time (TST) compared to RP alone.
