Removal of the cervical collar from alpine rescue protocols? A biomechanical non-inferiority trial in real-life mountain conditions

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2022
Background Alpine skiing rescues are challenging because of the mountainous environment and risks of cervical spine motion (CSM) induced during victims’ extrications (EXs) and downhill evacuations (DEs).

A comparison of the demographics, injury patterns and outcome data for patients injured in motor vehicle collisions who are trapped compared to those patients who are not trapped

Scandinavian Journal of Trauma, Resuscitation and Emergency Medicine, 2021
Background Motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) are a common cause of major trauma and death. Following an MVC, up to 40% of patients will be trapped in their vehicle.

The city of evil and the great outdoors: The modern health movement and the urban young, 1918-40 [PDF]

, 2001
Professionals and volunteers in inter-war England and France advanced a 'modern' health movement, placing particular emphasis on children's physical condition. The use of the urban clinic in this process has been considered.

A Randomised Control Trial Comparing the Efficacy of LMA-Supreme and I-Gel as Rescue Ventilatory Device in Patients with Simulated Difficult Airway Undergoing Anaesthesia with Controlled Ventilation [PDF]

Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research, 2021
Introduction: In an unanticipated difficult airway or in an emergency situation of cannot-intubate-cannot-ventilate scenario, Supraglottic Airway Devices (SGD) are recommended as rescue devices for establishing airway quickly to prevent hypoxia. Aim:

A mixed methods approach to describe the efficacy of lift assist device use to reduce low back musculoskeletal disorder risk factors during three common patient extrication scenarios.

Applied Ergonomics
This mixed-method study evaluated the efficacy of lift assist device use (Binder®, Eagle®, Maxi Air®) relative to manual lifting/care-as-usual in reducing low back muscle activity and perceived exertion during simulated patient extrication tasks.

An explorative, biomechanical analysis of spine motion during out-of-hospital extrication procedures.

Injury, 2019
OBJECTIVES The extrication of patients following a road traffic collision is among the basic procedures in emergency medicine. Thus, extrication is a frequently performed procedure by most of the emergency medical services worldwide.

Extrication of patients trapped following a motor vehicle collision: a systematic scoping review of the literature

medRxiv
Background: Extrication is the process of removing injured or potentially injured people from their vehicles. The origin of current extrication techniques and paradigms is largely unknown.

Adjunctive Therapeutic Plasma Exchange in Refractory Adult‐Onset Still's Disease Complicated by Secondary Macrophage Activation Syndrome: A Single‐Center Experience

Therapeutic Apheresis and Dialysis, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Adult‐onset Still's disease (AOSD) complicated by macrophage activation syndrome (MAS) carries substantial mortality. The role of therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) remains uncertain. Methods We retrospectively analyzed patients with AOSD‐MAS treated with TPE at a single‐center.

The planar cell polarity protein Vangl2 interacts with the PDZ‐domains of Scribble but not with a unique PDZ‐like domain in Inturned

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Structural and biochemical characterisations show that the planar cell polarity (PCP) protein Inturned harbours a unique PDZ‐like domain that does not bind canonical PDZ‐binding motifs (PBMs) like that of another PCP protein Vangl2. In contrast, the apical‐basal polarity protein Scribble contains four PDZ domains that bind Vangl2, but one PDZ domain ...
