This paper develops a cointegrating nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model in which short- and long-run nonlinearities are introduced via positive negative partial sum decompositions of the explanatory variables. We demonstrate that is estimable by OLS reliable inference can be achieved bounds-testing regardless integration orders Furthermore, we derive asymmetric dynamic multipliers graphically depict traverse between long-run. The salient features illustrated using example...
Abstract Corneal chemical burns can lead to blindness following serious complications. As most of these complications are caused by failure reepithelization during the acute phase, treatment at this stage is critical. Although there have been some studies on corneal injury recovery using adipose tissue-derived stem cells (ADSCs), none has reported effect topical cell-free conditioned culture media (CM) derived from ADSCs epithelial regeneration. Here, best conditions for CM were selected and...
Background/Objectives: The Geriatric Trauma Outcome Score (GTOS) is used to predict in-hospital mortality in geriatric patients with trauma. However, its applicability elderly multiple traumas and severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) remains poorly understood.

Purpose Trauma is the top cause of death in people under 45 years age. Deaths from severe trauma can have a negative economic impact due to loss belonging socio-economically active age groups. Therefore, efforts reduce mortality rate patients are essential. The purpose this study was investigate preventable and identify factors healthcare-related challenges affecting mortality. Ultimately, these findings will help improve quality care. Methods We analyzed deaths 411 who presented Gachon...
Traditionally, the surgical repair of umbilical hernia in cirrhotic patients with ascites is avoided because a significant recurrence rate and perioperative morbidity/mortality. However, recent reports recommend early elective surgery these surgery-related complications can be reduced minimally invasive development patient care. The current study was conducted to analyze safety feasibility repairs performed single institute.A center retrospective analysis patients' data conducted. Eighteen...
Abstract Recently, resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) had been introduced as an innovative procedure for severe hemorrhage in abdomen or pelvis. We aimed to investigate risk factors associated with mortality after REBOA and construct a model predicting mortality. This multicenter retrospective study collected data from 251 patients admitted at five regional trauma centers across South Korea 2015 2022. The indications included experiencing hypovolemic shock due...
The preventable trauma death rate survey is a basic tool for the quality management of treatment because it method that can intuitively evaluate level national treatment. We conducted this study as biennial follow-up project and report results review 2019 data in Korea.
Monetary theory typically assumes that the pass-through from policy-controlled interest rates to longer term and yields is complete, rapid symmetric. We investigate these assumptions by applying Nonlinear ARDL (NARDL) model advanced Shin, Yu Greenwood-Nimmo (2013) analysis of rate in U.S. find five stylised findings as follows: (i) cuts are passed through more completely than hikes long-run; (ii) rapidly short-run; (iii) has become less complete during Great Moderation; (iv) speed adjustment...
Background:The Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II scoring system the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) are widely used for critically ill patients.We evaluated whether APACHE score SOFA predict outcome trauma patients in intensive care unit (ICU).Methods: We retrospectively analyzed admitted to ICU a single center between January 2014 December 2015.The was figured out based on data acquired from first 24 hours of admission; 3 days ICU.A total 241 were...
Purpose We aimed to evaluate the trauma volume and performance indicators during first 5-year period of operation in a single regional center. Methods analyzed prospectively collected data from Korean Trauma Data Bank for center between January 2014 December 2018. More than 250 variables were analyzed. calculated predicted survival rates using injury severity score (TRISS) method. Results In total, there 16,103 admissions 5 years; activation was performed 5,105 these cases. Over 70% patients...
Misinterpreting radiographic findings can lead to unnecessary interventions and potential patient harm. The urgency required when responding the compromised health of trauma patients increase likelihood misinterpreting chest x-rays in critical situations. We present case report a whose skin fold artifacts were mistaken for pneumothorax on follow-up x-ray, resulting tube insertion. hope help others differentiate between folds by considering factors such as location, shape, sharpness, vascular...
A gastric carcinoma with the endoscopic features resembling submucosal tumor (SMT) is rare, and reportedly account for only 0.1% to 0.63% of all resected carcinomas. The preoperative diagnosis SMT-like challenging, thus, usually made intraoperatively or postoperatively. Furthermore, mucinous adenocarcinoma an uncommon histologic subtype characterized as elevated lesion SMT due abundant mucin pools in submucosa. Here, we report two cases which a was mistaken SMT.
The COVID-19 pandemic, starting in 2020, changed the daily activities of people world and it might also affect patterns major trauma.

Hyperbilirubinemia is frequently reported in trauma patients. However, few studies have investigated the effects of hyperbilirubinemia on patients' clinical trajectories. This study aimed to evaluate relationship between and patient outcomes following trauma. Our included 387 patients who were admitted bay with severe January 2017 December 2021. We categorized into two groups based their peak bilirubin levels: low-bilirubin (LB) group, levels below 3 mg/dL, high-bilirubin (HB) above mg/dL....
Background: Bleeding pelvic fractures have high mortality rates, primarily due to severe hemorrhage. Treatment options include mechanical stabilization based on preperitoneal packing (PPP), resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta, and angioembolization (AE). The bilateral approach, which uses three pads each side, is conventional PPP method. We aimed compare approach with a modified involving selectively only heavily bleeding areas, in terms clinical outcomes risks....
