Associate Chair of Critical Care Medicine, Department of Anesthesia, Perioperative and Pain Medicine, Brigham and Women's Medical Center, Boston, MA, USA.
Introduction: By using a novel survey our study aimed to assess the challenges ECMO and Critical Care (CC) teams face when initiating and managing patient's ECMO support.
Methods: A qualitative survey-based observational study was performed of members of 2 Critical Care Medicine organizations involved in decision-making around the practice of Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation (ECMO). The range of exploratory questions covered ethical principles of informed consent, autonomy and goals of care discussions, beneficence, non-maleficence (offering life-sustaining treatments in end-of-life care), and justice (insurance-related limitations of treatment).

Background: Pelvic fracture urethral injury (PFUI) occurs in up to 10% of pelvic fractures. There is mixed evidence supporting early endoscopic urethral realignment (EUR) over suprapubic tube (SPT) placement and delayed urethroplasty. Some studies show decreased urethral obstruction with EUR, while others show few differences.

Purpose: As imaging technology improves and more thyroid nodules and malignancies are identified, it is important to recognize factors associated with malignancy and poor prognosis. Vitamin D has proven useful as a prognostic tool for other cancers and may be similarly useful in thyroid cancer. This study explores the relationship of Vitamin D to papillary thyroid carcinoma stage while accounting for socioeconomic covariates.

Division of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Albany Medical College, Albany, New York.
Background: Takayasu Arteritis (TAK) is a granulomatous large vessel vasculitis that predominantly affects the aorta, major aortic branches and pulmonary arteries resulting in pulselessness. Sarcoidosis is a systemic granulomatous disease of unknown etiology that can affect any organ. Numerous cases of coexistence of both these rare diseases have been described, suggesting that their association may be by more than chance alone.

Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women's Medical Center, Harvard University, Boston, Massachusetts 02115, USA.
Background: Traumatic craniocervical dissociation (CCD), which includes atlanto-occipital dissociation and vertical distraction between C1-C2, is often an immediately fatal injury that has increasingly been associated with survival to the hospital. Our aim was to identify survivors of CCD based on clinical presentation.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the Harborview Medical Center Trauma Registry and the King County Medical Examiners database from 2001 to 2006.
