Introduction: Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) are at high risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE). Pharmacologic VTE prophylaxis (VTEppx) is frequently delayed in patients with SCI because of concerns for bleeding risk. Here, we hypothesized that delaying VTEppx until >48 hours would be associated with increased risk of thrombotic events.

Background: The Blue Book , published in conjunction with the Military Health System Strategic Partnership with the American College of Surgeons, serves as a reference manual for institutions wishing to establish a military-civilian partnership (MCP). To evaluate the applicability of the criteria contained in the Blue Book , we created a survey to be distributed to MCP military surgeons and their civilian host champions.
Methods: E-mail surveys were sent to MCP military surgeons and civilian host champions.
Heeding the call: Military-civilian partnerships as a foundation for enhanced mass casualty care in the United States.

Background: To increase trauma-related research and elevate trauma on the national research agenda, the National Trauma Institute (NTI) issued calls for proposals, selected funding recipients, and coordinated 16 federally funded (Department of Defense) trauma research awards over a 4-year period. We sought to collect and describe the lessons learned from this activity to inform future researchers of barriers and facilitators.
Methods: Fifteen principal investigators participated in semistructured interviews focused on study management issues such as securing institutional approvals, screening and enrollment, multisite trials management, project funding, staffing, and institutional support.

Article Synopsis
- Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a major health concern in trauma cases, with debates about the effectiveness of lower extremity duplex ultrasound screening (LEDUS) in preventing complications like deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).
- Data from two trauma centers showed that while LEDUS identified more DVT cases, the actual incidence of PE remained the same at both centers, suggesting that LEDUS may introduce surveillance bias without reducing PE rates.
- Overall, while LEDUS increases the detection of DVT, neither pharmacologic nor mechanical prophylaxis completely prevents VTE in trauma patients, highlighting the need for improved management strategies.
