Irregular warfare must combine good medicine, with both good tactics and good strategies: Position paper by the French Special Operations Forces Medical Command.

Introduction: Military operations are no longer limited to the application of counterterrorism and counterinsurgency strategies; they are now characterized by hybrid, irregular, and unconventional features. While some authors have indicated the need for medical support to adapt to these new modes of military operations, they have focused mainly on the tactical level of care on the battlefield. As Sun Tzu states, "Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory.

Progressive ataxia and palatal tremor (PAPT) with hypertrophic olivary degeneration (HOD): A case report.

Palatal tremor has been subdivided into essential (EPT) and symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT). Progressive ataxia and palatal tremor syndrome (PAPT) is a subgroup of symptomatic palatal tremor (SPT). It can be divided into familial and sporadic forms.

Preoperative antibiotics reduce early surgical site infections after orthopaedic implant removal: a propensity-matched cohort study.

Background: Implant removal in orthopaedics after fracture consolidation is a very common procedure but is still associated with a high rate of surgical site infection (SSI). Antibiotic prophylaxis is not recommended but advocated by some.

Aim: To assess the efficacy of antibiotic prophylaxis in the prevention of early SSI following orthopaedic implant removal.

Optimized sequential therapy 10- and 14-d concomitant therapy for eradicating : A randomized clinical trial.

Background: A cure for () remains a problem of global concern. The prevalence of antimicrobial resistance is widely rising and becoming a challenging issue worldwide. Optimizing sequential therapy seems to be one of the most attractive strategies in terms of efficacy, tolerability and cost.

Contemporary History of Spine Fractures Following Deck-Slap Injury: From Deck Blast During World War II Naval Battles to Axial Trauma During Touristic Speedboat Sea Cruise in 21st Century.

In large-scale naval battles during World War II, sailors sometimes sustained serious lower limb injuries when explosion blast of sea mines was transmitted from underneath through the metal deck of the ships. Some of these sailors were thrown in the air due to the blast and sustained axial trauma of the spine when they landed on the hard deck, which was thus called a deck slap by Captain Joseph Barr in 1946, among others. Nowadays, this peculiar mechanism has shifted to the civilian setting.

Intensity of Psychoactive Substance Use Affects the Occurrence of Prodromal Symptoms of Psychosis.

Background: Psychosis is defined as a series of symptoms that impair the mind and lead to a kind of loss of reference to reality. Development of psychosis is usually preceded by the appearance of prodromal symptoms. Numerous attempts have been made to find out how psychoactive substances can influence the onset and development of psychotic disorders, but to date there are no studies that show a link between the onset of prodromal symptoms and the use of psychoactive substances.

Embolization of the middle meningeal artery for the prevention of chronic subdural hematoma recurrence in high-risk patients: a randomized controlled trial-the EMPROTECT study protocol.

Background: Middle meningeal artery (MMA) embolization has been proposed as a treatment of chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH). The benefit of the procedure has yet to be demonstrated in a randomized controlled trial. We aim to assess the efficacy of MMA embolization in reducing the risk of CSDH recurrence 6 months after burr-hole surgery compared with standard medical treatment in patients at high risk of postoperative recurrence.

Debilitating genitofemoral neuralgia due to nerve entrapment after appendectomy: A case report.

Genitofemoral (GF) neuralgia refers to pain and sensory complaints in the region innervated by the GF nerve. It is a rarely reported condition, often due to iatrogenic causes following inguinal surgeries. In refractory forms, diagnostic reassessment is required to look for possible entrapment of the GF nerve.

EuroTrauma, delays in access to bleeding control. A comparison between a conventional and a hybrid trauma center, both European military trauma centers.

Purpose: Comparison of access times to CT and surgical/radiological bleeding control between two European military trauma centers.

Methods: Retrospective and observational study conducted in two military level 1 trauma centers in Toulon (France) and Koblenz (Germany) between 2013 and 2018. Inclusion of severe trauma patients with ISS > 15 with clinical and biological criteria of bleeding.
