ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background A shift in the age profile of major trauma patients creates new challenges to trauma system design. Examining historical trends of major trauma in older people allows us to better plan for an effective trauma system. This study explores the clinical characteristics of older adult trauma cases presenting to a level one trauma center ...

Efficacy of Dexamethasone in Adhesive Small Bowel Obstruction
ANZ Journal of Surgery, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background Small bowel obstruction (SBO) is a common long‐term complication following abdominal surgery and a frequent cause of inpatient admissions. The most common cause of SBO is adhesions, followed by hernias and malignancy. Non‐operative management strategies include bowel rest, nasogastric decompression, and Gastrografin administration ...

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.In this historical pre–post cohort study, the implementation of physiological cardiotocography (PCI) interpretation was associated with reduced neonatal morbidity, neonatal acidosis, and neonatal unit admission. Adjusted cesarean section rates did not increase, supporting PCI as a promising approach to intrapartum fetal surveillance.

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, EarlyView.Preterm birth is associated with substantial neonatal morbidity and mortality. We evaluated whether universal cervical length screening with ultrasound, followed by progesterone therapy for women with a short cervix, has the potential to reduce the incidence of preterm birth.

Predictors of Brain Infarction in Pediatric Patients During Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation
Artificial Organs, EarlyView.In 179 pediatric ECMO patients, brain infarction (BI) occurred in 28% and was linked to markedly higher 30‐day mortality. VA ECMO mode (vs. VV) and higher pre‐ECMO arterial lactate independently predicted BI, supporting standardized neuro‐monitoring and liberal early brain CT, especially for children on VA ECMO.

Artificial Organs, EarlyView.In a cohort of patients with cardiogenic shock supported with V‐A ECMO, the addition of left ventricular mechanical unloading was associated with higher median hospitalization costs ($390 508 vs. $320 269), longer hospital length of stay (IRR 1.06, p < 0.001), and lower mortality compared with VA ECMO alone (HR 0.62, p = 0.006).
