Outcomes after surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) have not been studied in patients with multiple and traumatic brain injury (TBI). We hypothesized that SSRF, as compared nonoperative management, is associated favorable outcomes TBI.A multicenter, retrospective cohort study was performed TBI between January 2012 July 2019. Patients who underwent SSRF were to those managed nonoperatively. The primary outcome mechanical ventilation-free days. Secondary intensive care unit length...
Literature on outcomes after SSRF, stratified for rib fracture pattern is scarce in patients with moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI; Glasgow Coma Scale ≤ 12). We hypothesized that SSRF associated improved as compared nonoperative management without hampering neurological recovery these patients. A post hoc subgroup analysis of the multicenter, retrospective CWIS-TBI study was performed TBI and by having sustained a non-flail or flail chest between January 1, 2012 July 31, 2019....
The timing of surgical stabilization rib fractures remains controversial. We hypothesized that early (within 3 days injury) can improve clinical outcome in patients with severe and respiratory failure. aim this study was to analyze the impact on perioperative results, outcomes, medical costs failure.This a retrospective comparative based prospectively collected database at single institute. Patients failure who underwent were classified into late (more than after groups. Outcome measures...
Low back pain (LBP) affects approximately 51% to 57% of hospital nurses and nurses' aides in Europe. New high-risk groups include home- long-term-care physiotherapists. A number European countries are experiencing a shortage healthcare workers. Light therapy has been shown be an effective treatment for various musculoskeletal disorders, including lateral epicondylitis, temporomandibular joint pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, delayed-onset muscle soreness. systematic review meta-analysis...
There are few reports regarding a lung or diaphragm trapped by fractured rib. This study aimed to describe the clinical presentations, diagnosis, and management of these intrathoracic pathologies. We retrospectively reviewed database at our institute for patients with rib fractures who underwent thoracoscope-assisted surgical stabilization fracture (SSRF). analyzed demographic data, mechanism trauma, operative findings, subsequent strategies. A total 38 consecutive SSRF were analyzed. Three...
The presence of six or more rib fractures a displaced fracture due to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) has been associated with longer hospital and intensive care unit (ICU) length stay (LOS). Evidence on the effect surgical stabilization (SSRF) following CPR is limited. This study aimed evaluate outcomes after SSRF versus nonoperative management in patients multiple CPR.An international, retrospective was performed who underwent for between January 1, 2012, July 31, 2020. Patients were...
Abstract Background Slow gait speed and poor cognitions share numerous risk factors, including age, physical activities, chronic inflammation, education, metabolic abnormality, the presence of multimorbidity. However, causal relationship between remains controversial. This study aimed to explore reciprocal with global domain‐specific cognition in non‐demented older adults. Method used data from four waves Taiwan Initiative for Geriatric Epidemiological Research (TIGER, 2013‐2021) biennial...
Abstract Background The impact of associated chest wall injuries (CWI) on the complications clavicle fracture repair is unclear to date. This study aimed investigate after surgical fixation in patients with and without different degrees CWI. Methods A retrospective review over a four-year period who underwent was conducted. CWI no-CWI group were distinguished, subdivided into minor-CWI (three or fewer rib fractures flail chest) complex-CWI (flail chest, four more fractures) subgroup....
