BACKGROUND There is no consensus as to the optimal treatment paradigm for patients presenting with hemorrhage from severe pelvic fracture. This study was established determine methods of control currently being used in clinical practice. METHODS prospective, observational multi-center enrolled fracture blunt trauma. Demographic data, admission vital signs, presence shock on (systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg or heart rate > 120 beats per minute base deficit −5), method control, transfusion...
To evaluate the safety and efficacy of local excision in patients with T2 T3 distal rectal cancers that have been downstaged by preoperative chemoradiation.T2 treated alone are associated unacceptably high recurrence rates. The authors hypothesized chemoradiation might downstage both lesions significantly expand indications for excision.Local was performed after on a complete clinical response or who were either ineligible refused to undergo abdominoperineal resection. Local approached...
Background: The pericardial window in a focused assessment with sonography for trauma (FAST) examination is highly accurate detecting hemopericardium and, therefore, associated cardiac injury. A series of patients false-negative ultrasound examinations, who were subsequently diagnosed lacerations after presenting stab wounds, are described. Methods: All normal examination, despite subsequent diagnosis injury, described (2005-2008). Results: Five wounds to the precodium displayed initial and...
Early identification of patients with pelvic fractures at risk severe bleeding requiring intervention is critical. We performed a multi-institutional study to test our hypothesis that fracture patterns predict the need for hemorrhage control intervention.This prospective, observational, multicenter enrolled due blunt trauma. Inclusion criteria included shock on admission (systolic blood pressure <90 mm Hg or heart rate >120 beats/min and base deficit >5, ability review imaging). Demographic...

Purpose Firearm injury is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. However, many medical professionals currently receive minimal or no education on firearm its prevention. The authors sought to convene diverse group national experts epidemiology, prevention, develop consensus priorities inform creation learning objectives curricula for professionals. Method In 2019, convened an advisory that was geographically, demographically, professionally diverse, composed 33...
Hypertensive patients over the age of 60 years were admitted to a double-blind placebo-controlled trial. Patients in actively treated group received combined potassium-losing and -sparing diuretic (triamterene 50 mg plus hydrochlorothiazide 25 mg; n=416); this dose could be doubled methyldopa (up 2g, daily) was added 35% when blood pressure remained high. The placebo (n=424) matching capsules tablets. Adverse effects assessed period trial by calculating incidence abnormal biochemical...
Kansas City is a microcosm for USA. Although shows relatively diverse population, it one that segregated along the lines of race and income. This an inequity common to all cities across country. With this comes unequal opportunity survive thrive. Firearm violence core component societal inequity. In article, we present proceedings 2019 Violence Symposium, where distinguished experts in trauma convened share their experience, evidence voices gun violence—directly indirectly. There were...
Most deaths in patients with abdominal vascular injuries (ABVI) are caused by exsanguination and irreversible shock. Therefore, time to definitive hemorrhage control is an important factor affecting survival. The study goals were: (1) document current outcomes ABVI, (2) compare those from the era preceding improvements urban prehospital system.A retrospective review of all ABVI at level 1 trauma center was completed. Patients injured prior transport (1991-1994) were compared following a...
Background: Cosmetic appearance of incisions remains one the most important aspects patient recovery experience. Despite advances in surgery, scar prevention is gold standard improved results. Closed-incision negative pressure wound therapy has shown promise decreasing surgical site infection and healing time. This study aimed to assess outcomes primarily closed with mechanically powered dressings (MP-NPDs) compared dressings. Methods: was a single-center, within-subjects, randomized...
<title>Abstract</title> Background: Anastomotic leak is a serious complication of bowel anastomosis, with multifactorial etiology. Thorough intraoperative evaluation the anastomosis using white light endoscopy and tests critical. Indocyanine green fluorescence angiography (ICG-FA) has emerged as tool to assess perfusion but limitations, including patient allergies procedural complexity. The FUJIFILM Eluxeo Vision system uses Oxygen Saturation Index (OSI) measure tissue oxygenation saturation...
BACKGROUND: Traditionally, the management of rectal prolapse in elderly involved a perineal approach to repair. However, paradigms have evolved, and use transabdominal may be as safe patients. OBJECTIVE: To provide contemporary analysis early postoperative outcomes trends surgical prolapse. DESIGN: This was retrospective review large multicenter database. SETTING: The National Surgical Quality Improvement Program captured data from 702 participating sites. PATIENTS: All patients aged 70...
Gun violence is an epidemic that affects hundreds of thousands Americans each year. Despite gun being disproportionately more lethal than other leading causes trauma, there a dearth research carried out on its root and prevention strategies. For the past 20 years, lobbying politics have interfered with forward progress research. Physicians history producing actionable public-health change ethical obligation to fight for will benefit their patients.
