BACKGROUND Surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF) is increasingly used for severe fractures/flail chest. There are no reports discussing mechanisms failure implanted hardware, its clinical presentation, or consequences. The purpose this study was to evaluate the incidence, presenting signs, and sequela hardware after SSRF. METHODS A multicenter, retrospective performed by a group surgeons with large SSRF case volume. All cases known from January 1, 2010, December 31, 2017, were...

To determine if there is a significant association between administration of tranexamic acid (TXA) in severely bleeding, injured patients, and venous thromboembolism (VTE), myocardial infarction (MI), or cerebrovascular accident (CVA). A multicenter, retrospective study was performed. Inclusion criteria were: age 18-80 years old need for 5 units more blood the first 24 h after injury. Exclusion included: death within h, pregnancy, TXA than 3 following injury, routine ultrasound surveillance...

BACKGROUND This study aimed to determine the clinical impact of wound management technique on surgical site infection (SSI), hospital length stay (LOS), and mortality in emergent colorectal surgery. METHODS A prospective observational (2021–2023) urgent or surgery patients at 15 institutions was conducted. Pediatric traumatic injuries were excluded. Patients classified by closure technique: skin closed (SC), loosely (SLC), open (SO). Primary outcomes SSI, LOS, in-hospital rates....

Abstract Background Communication in emergency departments (ED) India is complicated by the country’s immense language diversity. Prior research has revealed challenges and communication as barriers to care. Our objective was quantify diversity among clinicians Indian EDs better understand issues related clinician-clinician clinician-patient communication. Methodology A cross-sectional survey of ED conducted. Survey participants were recruited in-person through email at six partner sites...

Citizen science is now commonly employed to collect data on plastic pollution and recognised as a valuable tool for furthering our understanding of the issue. Few studies, however, use citizen gather information water-borne debris. Here, scientists adopted globally standardised methodology sample sea-surface small (1-5 mm) floating debris off Cornish coast (UK). Twenty-eight trawls were conducted along five routes, intersecting two Marine Protected Areas. Of 509 putative items, fragments...

Optimal wound management strategies to reduce surgical site infections (SSIs) in nonelective open colorectal surgery (NOCS) remain controversial and variable. Our aim is describe SSI other 30-day outcome measures among patients with varying techniques undergoing NOCS.All NOCS were extracted from the 2016 2018 ACS-NSQIP database. Outcomes of managed all layers closed (ALC) compared skin (SO), using propensity score matching (PSM) control for significant confounding risk factors SSI.A total...
