Background: Blunt cerebrovascular injuries (BCVIs) are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. This guideline evaluates several aspects of BCVI diagnosis and management including the role of screening protocols, criteria for screening cervical spine injuries, and the use of antithrombotic therapy (ATT) and endovascular stents.
Methods: Using the Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) methodology, a taskforce of the Practice Management Guidelines Committee of the Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of currently available evidence.
Laning and clustering transitions in driven binary active matter systems.

It is well known that a binary system of nonactive disks that experience driving in opposite directions exhibits jammed, phase separated, disordered, and laning states. In active matter systems, such as a crowd of pedestrians, driving in opposite directions is common and relevant, especially in conditions which are characterized by high pedestrian density and emergency. In such cases, the transition from laning to disordered states may be associated with the onset of a panic state.

Department of Psychology, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois2Institute for Policy Research, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois.
Importance: Research has linked childhood abuse to a variety of adult psychiatric problems, but little is known about associations of child abuse with adult mortality.
Objective: To test associations of retrospective reports of physical and emotional abuse in childhood with all-cause mortality rates in adulthood.
Design, Setting, And Participants: National sample of 6285 adults (aged 25-74 years at baseline) from the survey of Midlife Development in the United States.

Tobacco dependence curricula in undergraduate osteopathic medical education.
J Am Osteopath Assoc
August 2004
Context: Tobacco use has been identified as the primary preventable cause of premature deaths and disability, yet results of a previous survey show that undergraduate allopathic medical schools do not adequately address this topic.
Objective: To assess the content and extent of tobacco education and intervention skills in osteopathic medical schools' curricula.
Design: A mailed survey with 19 questions similar to one used for allopathic medical schools.
Glomerular filtration and volume regulation in gravid animal models.
Baillieres Clin Obstet Gynaecol

Department of Physiology, Robert C. Byrd Health Sciences Center of Western Virginia University, Morgantown 26506-9229.
The gestational increase in glomerular filtration rate that occurs in the normal rat is exclusively the result of an increase in renal plasma flow and there is no sustained increase in glomerular capillary blood pressure during a normal pregnancy. The factor or factors that initiate the gestational renal vasodilatation (and plasma volume expansion) are maternal, not fetoplacental in origin. The precise nature of the initiating factors has not yet been defined, although it is unlikely that the gestational plasma volume expansion can be the sole cause of the increased glomerular filtration rate seen in pregnancy.
