From September 1991 to December 1992, 41 patients with nonpenetrating and 84 patients with penetrating craniocerebral injuries were neurosurgically treated at the Military Medical Academy. The severity of injuries was estimated according to GCS and the outcome according to GOS. In 17 out of 27 patients with moderate nonpenetrating CCI, the outcome was favorable, and 5 patients out of 7 with severe CCI died (p < 0.01). Out of 33 patients with moderate penetrating CCI, favorable outcome or moderate disability were observed in 21 patients, and out of 26 patients with severe CCI, 19 died (p < 0.01). The majority of unilobar CCI resulted in favorable outcome or moderate disability, while 10 out of 26 patients with multilobar CCI, as well as 9 out of 16 patients with bichemispheric CCI died (p < 0.01). Mortality rate in patients with penetrating CCI was 25%. No significant differences were observed in the outcome of penetrating CCI in relation to the missile type (p > 0.05). Nonpenetrating CCI had a better outcome than the penetrating ones (p < 0.05). The outcome of war nonpenetrating CCI depended on the severity of injury and of penetrating CCI on the severity injury, of the extent of cerebral lesion and the form of penetration, respectively.

Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (MI/R) injury is a complication in vascular reperfusion therapy for MI, occurring in approximately 60% of patients. Ferroptosis is an important process in the development of MI/R cardiac lesions. Transferrin receptor 1 (TfR1), a marker of ferroptosis, corresponds to the changes in MI/R cardiac lesions and is expected to be a biomarker for detecting MI/R-induced ferroptosis.

These changes can negatively impact neuronal networks beyond the primary injury site. In this Translational Outcomes Project in NeuroTrauma (TOP-NT) UG3 phase study, we sought to use multimodal neuroimaging biomarker approach to assess functional connectivity and brain tissue microstructure, along with T2 relaxometry, in two experimental rat models of TBI: controlled cortical impact (CCI) and lateral fluid percussive injury (LFPI).

Introduction: In 2015, we described a capsule-thickening technique via an anterior approach for iliopsoas cup impingement. To our knowledge, medium-term results have not been reported. We therefore retrospectively analyzed all cases in the initial series and those since 2015, to assess this original technique over a longer follow-up: (1) to analyze complications, and (2) to assess functional outcome.

Methods: Using a retrospective cohort design, patients aged 65 years and older undergoing penetrating keratoplasty (PK), endothelial keratoplasty (EK), and anterior lamellar keratoplasty (ALK) from 2016 to 2019 among 100% Medicare Fee-or-Service database were included. Rates of early endophthalmitis within 42 days of keratoplasty were determined using the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision-Clinical Modification diagnostic codes.

To investigate the efficacy of strategies for minimizing small bowel resection during surgery for pelvic radiation-induced terminal small intestinal stenosis in preventing postoperative complications such as anastomotic leakage and short bowel syndrome. This was a retrospective cohort study. There are two subtypes of chronic radiation enteritis (CRE) with combined intestinal stenosis and intestinal obstruction: (1) Type I: terminal ileal lesions with a normal ileal segment of 2-20 cm between the ileal lesion and ileocecal junction; and (2) Type II: the lesion is located in the small bowel at a distance from the ileocecal region, usually accompanied by extensive damage to the bowel segments outside the lesion.
