A Generic Trauma Severity Computer Method Applied to Pedestrian Collisions [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
In the real world, the severity of traumatic injuries are measured using the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS). However the AIS scale cannot currently be computed by using finite element human computer models, which calculate a maximum principal strains (MPS). Further, MPS only establishes a threshold above which a serious or fatal injury occurs. In order

Surgical Outcomes Comparison of Spontaneous Middle Cranial Fossa Cerebrospinal Fluid Leaks: Systematic Review and Meta‐analysis

Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (sCSF) leaks of lateral skull base have little consensus on optimal management. We synthesized and evaluated current literature via systematic and meta‐analysis to compare the success rates and complications of the different surgical techniques for middle cranial fossa (MCF) sCSF leak repair.

CHRONIC SUBDURAL HEMATOMA

Annals of Surgery, 1927
In this country the interest in chronic subdural hemorrhage was aroused by the report of Putnam and Cushing 1 in 1925. Curiously enough, at that time these authors could report but six cases from the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital records, although a very large amount of neurosurgical material passed through this clinic.

Incidental Brain Metastases From Prostate Cancer Diagnosed With PSMA PET/CT and MRI: A Case Series and Literature Review

The Prostate, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Brain metastases (BMETS) from prostate cancer are rare. Hence, brain imaging in neurologically asymptomatic patients with advanced prostate cancer (aPC) is not routinely performed. Prostate‐specific membrane antigen (PSMA) PET/CT uses a radiotracer that binds to prostate cancer epithelial cells and is FDA‐approved for initial ...

CT Utilisation in Emergency Department (ED) Assessment of Patients With Suspected Polytrauma: Impact of a Dedicated Trauma Surgical Team

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction We aimed to assess the impact of introduction of a dedicated trauma surgical unit (TSU) on CT utilisation for polytrauma in the Emergency Department (ED). Methods Single centre retrospective cohort study comparing adult patients undergoing CT for polytrauma following TSU introduction (Intervention group, n = 617) to a historical ...

MRI appearance of chronic subdural hematoma

Frontiers in Neurology, 2022
ObjectiveWe aimed to describe the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics of chronic subdural hematoma (cSDH) and to ascribe MRI patterns.MethodsA total of 20 patients having 27 subdural hematomas underwent contrast-enhanced (CE) MRI of the brain at our institution between April 2019 and May 2021. The images were independently evaluated by two

The FRED‐X Flow Diverter—An Australian Experience

Journal of Medical Imaging and Radiation Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The FRED X flow diverter features antithrombotic surface treatment to reduce thrombogenicity. This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of FRED X in treating intracranial aneurysms in the Australian setting. Methods Clinical, procedural and imaging data were retrospectively reviewed for a consecutive series of patients at a ...

Outcomes for patients with alcohol‐related liver disease admitted to Scottish intensive care units 2010–2018

Anaesthesia, EarlyView.
Summary Introduction Alcohol‐related liver disease is recognised as a major cause of liver‐related morbidity and mortality. Our aim was to report the prevalence of, and outcomes from, alcohol‐related liver disease after admission to ICUs in Scotland. Methods We performed a secondary data analysis using linked Scottish national databases of all adult ...

S-100B Protein and Chronic Subdural Hematoma [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology, 2013
We are surprised by the conclusions of a recent paper by Persson et al. (2012), “Case report: extreme levels of serum S-100B in a patient with chronic subdural hematoma,” which suggest that S-100B protein is an important marker for chronic subdural hematoma (CSDH).
