Whole‐Body CT Utilisation in Adult Trauma: Guideline Compliance, Incidental Findings, and the Role of Anticoagulation in Low‐Energy Falls at a Regional New Zealand Centre

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Whole‐body CT (WBCT) is central to major trauma assessment, but indiscriminate use carries a substantial radiation burden. The Central Region Trauma Network's Early Radiological Imaging in Major Trauma Guideline (CPG154), adopted at this centre, specifies criteria for WBCT and excludes low‐energy falls from standing height.

Extracellular matrix composition and remodeling in human abdominal aortic aneurysms: a proteomics approach. [PDF]

, 2011
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) are characterized by pathological remodeling of the aortic extracellular matrix (ECM). However, besides the well-characterized elastolysis and collagenolysis little is known about changes in other ECM proteins.

Ischaemic Optic Neuropathy After Cardiac Surgery: A Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis of Incidence and Risk Factors

ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.
Across 11 observational studies comprising 6 471 577 patients, the pooled incidence of ischaemic optic neuropathy after cardiac surgery was approximately 1.5 cases per 10 000 procedures. Coronary artery disease, peripheral vascular disease and anaemia were associated with increased odds of ION, although these findings should be interpreted in the ...

SURGELLA: A Scoping Review of Impella‐Assisted Hemodynamic Support in High‐Risk Non‐Cardiac Surgery

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.
In selected patients with severe LV dysfunction, Impella‐supported non‐cardiac surgery may provide a temporary hemodynamic bridge to otherwise prohibitive procedures. Published evidence remains limited to a small number of highly selected cases, supporting technical feasibility rather than comparative benefit or generalizable safety.
