Pediatric Surgery International, 2011
We report here a fetus, who was delivered via cesarean section in 32th gestational week from a 37-year-old mother and sustained multiple gunshots. Post-natal evaluation revealed eight entry-exit holes and the baby was transferred to our clinic.Upon admission, peripheral pulses were nonpalpable, appropriate fluid administration and blood transfusion ...

Suicidal gunshot wounds were reviewed for a 6 year and 6 month period with respect to age, sex, type of firearm, anatomical location of the entrance wound, alcohol use, location of the event and the presence of a suicide note. There was a total of 64 suicidal gunshot wounds, the majority of which were found in males.

Annals of Emergency Medicine, 1996
There is no serious argument about the wounding potential of various kinds of penetrating projectiles. The laws of physics in concert with modern bullet testing have clarified and quantified the mechanisms by which bullets disrupt tissue. Despite this scientific background, much misinformation persists in the wound-ballistics literature.

Since our last review 17 more patients have been treated for ureteral gunshot injuries. In six cases the upper ureter, in two the middle, and in nine cases the lower ureter was involved. Associated visceral injuries were numerous with the small intestine the most commonly injured.

Abstract Of 245 patients with penetrating wounds of the heart who reached the emergency room of Detroit General Hospital (Receiving Branch) alive during a 13 1/2 year period, 27 had gunshot wounds. These wounds are increasing in frequency both relatively and absolutely, so that now almost 50% of the heart wounds seen are caused by gunshots. A program

AbstractThe majority of maxillofacial gunshot wounds are caused by suicide attempts. Young men are affected most often. When the lower one-third of the face is involved, airway patency (1.6% of the cases) and hemorrhage control (1.9% of the cases) are the two most urgent complications to monitor and prevent.

Gunshot wounds to the spine are becoming more prevalent, especially in urban areas. Neurologic injury can occur even if the projectile does not penetrate the spinal canal. Initial treatment should consist of stabilizing the patient's medical condition followed by a careful neurologic examination.

Gunshot Wounds to the Shoulder
Orthopedic Clinics of North America, 1995The proximity of vascular, neural, osseous, and muscular structures make gunshot wounds to the shoulder area particularly challenging. This review focuses on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment of these injuries. Special attention is given to the usefulness of vascular and electrodiagnostic studies.

Gunshot wounds to the neck are diagnostically and therapeutically challenging cases. We report such a case with vascular and neurologic injuries and describe the therapeutic options. Initial treatment is aimed at hemodynamic stabilization. Zone II neck injuries are managed selectively, and physical examination alone may dictate emergency surgical ...
