BACKGROUND Road traffic crashes (RTCs) are a global health burden, particularly in India, where response times for first responders can be prolonged. Prior to enactment of Good Samaritan Law (GSL) 2016, involved bystanders could face criminal and financial liability assisting at an RTC site. This study evaluates the impact GSL on bystander attitudes, awareness, experiences comparing outcomes pre- post-GSL implementation across metropolitan cities (MCs) nonmetropolitan (NMCs). We hypothesized...
BACKGROUND Leak following surgical repair of traumatic duodenal injuries results in prolonged hospitalization and oftentimes nil per os treatment. Parenteral nutrition (PN) has known morbidity; however, leak patients often have complex hospital courses resulting barriers to enteral (EN). We hypothesized that EN alone would be associated with (1) shorter duration until closure (2) less infectious complications length stay compared PN. METHODS This was a post hoc analysis retrospective,...
Background: The burden of firearm injury (FI) extends beyond hospitalization; however, literature focuses mostly on short-term physical outcomes. This study aimed to assess changes in patient-reported outcomes following firearm-related trauma. We hypothesized long-term socioeconomic, mental health, and quality-of-life (QoL) are worse post-FI compared pre-FI. Methods: was a retrospective where phone survey conducted with FI survivors admitted between January 2017 August 2022 at level 1 trauma...
Introduction The utility of pancreaticoduodenectomy (PD) for high-grade traumatic injuries remains unclear and data surrounding its use are limited. We hypothesized that PD does not result in improved outcomes when compared with non-PD surgical management grade IV–V pancreaticoduodenal injuries. Methods This is a retrospective, multicenter analysis from 35 level 1 trauma centers January 2010 to December 2020. Included patients were ≥15 years age the American Association Surgery Trauma...
Introduction Screening, brief intervention, and referral to treatment (SBIRT) has demonstrated up 50% reduction in alcohol-related traumatic injury is mandated by the American College of Surgeons for trauma center accreditation. While SBIRT effectiveness been previously investigated, optimal implementation setting not. We sought improve compliance through integration screening into a performance improvement checklist (PIC) deployed during morning report. hypothesized that PIC would establish...
Background: Catheter-associated urinary tract infections (CAUTIs) account for 1 million nosocomial annually and 75% of all hospital-acquired UTIs. A risk factor CAUTI is prolonged catheterization (UC); therefore, transitory UC during laparoscopic appendectomy (LA), a common practice justified to avoid iatrogenic bladder injury, believed be safe. However, data on the incidence post-operative UC-related complications, including CAUTI, following LA or their avoidance are limited.
Gender-affirming procedures allow transgender individuals to alter their appearance and sexual characteristics resemble those associated with the sex which they identify. These are considered elective rather than a prioritized course of action treat medical condition. As result, not widely accessible, unprecedently complicated, have significant effects on mental health population. One way help establish these as priorities in community is highlight positive gender affirmation community,...
Patients with macromastia and/or moderate-severe ptosis who desire mastectomy are typically offered skin sparing mastectomies. Recent technical advances have broadened the inclusion criteria to allow for nipple (NSM) in this population; however, they been limited patients unifocal disease. We report on multidisciplinary approach used offer a NSM patient multicentric triple-negative breast cancer and symptomatic severe setting of positive genetic testing. discuss combination staged...
We congratulate the authors for study entitled "Acute Postoperative Complications in Prepectoral versus Subpectoral Reconstruction following Nipple-Sparing Mastectomy" by Avila et al. (1).The use of implants, tissue expanders, dermal matrix, and fat grafts to improve physical appearance reduce symptoms post-mastectomy breast reconstruction has taken great importance.Usually, there is a controversy about which plane implant should be located, either pre-pectoral or subpectoral.Subpectoral...
