Research on the correlation between rib fracture characteristics and the risk of intrathoracic and intra-abdominal injuries

Chinese Journal of Traumatology
Purpose: Intrathoracic and intra-abdominal injuries in patients with rib fractures are often overlooked, leading to delayed and ineffective treatment. However, the relationship between rib fractures and organ damage has been rarely studied.

An unexpected fracture of a titanium rib plate in a patient with traumatic brain injury

Trauma Case Reports, 2019
Surgical stabilization of rib fractures has been accepted and successfully performed for the management of patients with multiple rib fractures. Several types of devices, such as titanium bar, plate, and screws, are used for rib stabilization.

Predictors and characteristics of Rib fracture following SBRT for lung tumors

BMC Cancer, 2023
Background The utilization of stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT) is increasing for primary and secondary lung neoplasms. Despite encouraging results, SBRT is associated with an increased risk of osteoradionecrosis-induced rib fracture.

Convolutional neural network for detecting rib fractures on chest radiographs: a feasibility study

BMC Medical Imaging, 2023
Background Chest radiography is the standard investigation for identifying rib fractures. The application of artificial intelligence (AI) for detecting rib fractures on chest radiographs is limited by image quality control and multilesion screening.

Asymptomatic Infant Rib Fractures Are Primarily Non-abuse-Related and Should Not Be Used to Assess Physical Child Abuse

Children, 2023
Finding infant rib fractures was for many years an almost undisputed proof that physical child abuse took place. Yet, these rib fractures are virtually always occult and asymptomatic and are only identified when looked for, usually with X-rays, from ...

The Cuttlebone Blueprint for Multifunctional Metamaterials: Design Taxonomy, Functional Decoupling, and Future Horizons

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Cuttlebone‐inspired metamaterials exploit a septum‐wall architecture to achieve excellent mechanical and functional properties. This review classifies existing designs into direct biomimetic, honeycomb‐type, and strut‐type architectures, summarizes governing design principles, and presents a decoupled design framework for interpreting multiphysical ...

Left rib fractures during cardiopulmonary resuscitation are associated with hemodynamic variations in a pig model of cardiac arrest

Resuscitation Plus, 2023
Background: Chest compressions (CC) are the cornerstone of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). But CC are also known to cause injuries, specifically rib fractures. The effects of such fractures have not been examined yet. This study aimed to investigate
