Unlike in the military setting, where use of tourniquets has been well established, civilian sector their far less uniform. The purpose this study was to examine outcomes associated with for extremity trauma.Adult (≥18 years) patients admitted our institution an injury requiring tourniquet application from January 2007 June 2014 were retrospectively reviewed. primary outcome analyzed limb loss. Secondary included death, hospital length stay, and complications.There 87 who met inclusion...
Models of perceived affective quality soundscapes have been recently included into standards to guide the measurement and improvement urban soundscapes. Such models developed in outdoor contexts their validity indoor built environments is unclear. A laboratory listening test was performed a mock-up living room with window sight, order develop an soundscape model for residential buildings. During test, 35 participants were asked rate 20 different scenarios each. Scenarios defined by combining...
Recent military studies demonstrated an association between prehospital tourniquet use and increased survival. The benefits of this intervention in a civilian population remain unclear. aims our study were to evaluate the compare outcomes previously published experience. We hypothesized that incorporation will result overall improvement mortality.This is preliminary multi-institutional retrospective analysis (MIA-T) patients admitted nine urban Level 1 trauma centers from January 2010...
The aim of this study was to identify patients' characteristics that may predict failure and removal the Linx sphincter augmentation device, report results 1-stage laparoscopic fundoplication.The device is a long-term magnetic implant developed as less disruptive more reproducible surgical option for patients with early-stage gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Removal has been shown be feasible, but no procedure have reported yet.A review prospectively collected research database...
A definitive diagnosis of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) depends on endoscopic and/or pH-study criteria. However, high resolution manometry (HRM) can identify factors predicting GERD, such as ineffective esophageal motility (IEM), esophago-gastric junction contractile integral (EGJ-CI), evaluating esophagogastric (EGJ) type and straight leg raise (SLR) maneuver response. We aimed to build externally validate a manometric score (Milan Score) stratify the risk severity in patients...
Blunt pancreatic trauma is rare, and the reported mortality high. The true outcomes in isolated pancreas are not known, optimal management according to injury severity controversial. present study evaluated incidence, outcomes, of blunt injuries.National Trauma Data Bank study, including patients with trauma. Patients major associated injuries or other severe intra-abdominal were excluded. Patients' demographics, vital signs on admission, Abbreviated Injury Scale for each body area, Severity...
A brief history of the Wilhelmy technique for surface tension and contact angle measurements introduces equation methods necessary to apply this modern automatic procedure correctly. Many simple practices may avoid systematic errors allow reliable results be obtained both quantities. The paper analyzes not only runs – that is, applications standard shapes such as cylinders parallelepipeds, rigid, non-porous samples immersed in probe liquids low viscosity but also non-simple non-standard...
The American Association for the Surgery of Trauma (AAST) has developed a new grading system uniform description anatomic severity emergency general surgery (EGS) diseases, ranging from Grade I (mild) to V (severe). purpose this study was determine relationship AAST grades acute colonic diverticulitis with patient outcomes. A secondary propose an EGS quality improvement program using risk-adjusted center outcomes, similar National Surgical Quality Improvement Program and methodologies.This...
BACKGROUND It remains unclear whether the timing of neurosurgical intervention impacts outcome patients with isolated severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). We hypothesized that a shorter time between emergency department (ED) admission to would be associated significantly higher rate patient survival. METHODS Our institutional trauma registry was queried for (2003–2013) who required an emergent (craniotomy, craniectomy) TBI within 300 minutes after ED admission. included altered mental status...
Abstract The magnetic sphincter augmentation (MSA) device has been proven safe and effective in controlling typical reflux symptoms esophageal acid exposure for up to 6-year follow-up. Longer term outcomes have not reported yet. A prospectively maintained database was reviewed assess long-term safety efficacy of the laparoscopic MSA procedure at a single referral center. Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease-Health Related Quality Life (GERD-HRQL), use proton-pump inhibitors (PPI), were compared...
High-resolution manometry (HRM) allows assessment of esophagogastric junction (EGJ) disruption. While type 3 EGJ predicts definitive gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), 2 is less clearly implicated in GERD pathogenesis. This study aimed to characterize physiologic findings determine if the HRM-based Milan Score can define within EGJ.
