Injuries in trauma affect anatomical structures, indirectly affecting physiological systems through mechanical behavior and physical proximity. This paper describes the theory for and preliminary results from our approach to couple a three-dimensional (3-D) anatomical model of the chest with a physiological model of respiratory mechanics. In particular, we investigated behavior in quiet, normal...

Aims, Objectives and Background To date, few studies effectively quantify the long-term incidence of death directly related to injury. The absence detailed mortality data underlying cause information following trauma results in an inadequate understanding a potential underestimation true consequences injury on individual population level. This study takes nationwide approach identify one-year p...

Cold regions are a special combat environment in which low temperatures have a great impact on human metabolism and other vital functions, including the nervous, motion, cardiovascular, circulatory, respiratory, and urinary systems; consequently, low temperatures often aggravate existing trauma, leading to high mortality rates if rapid and appropriate treatment is not provided. Hypothermia is a...

© 2017 Advanced Biomedical Research | Published by Wolters Kluwer Medknow Sir, For critically ill trauma patients who suffer from respiratory failure, mechanical ventilation (MV) is an essential and universal form of treatment.[1] Hypokalemia normally occurs immediately after trauma, and it appears that hypokalemia occurs more frequently in the more severely injured.[2,3] Hypokalemia, a frequen...

Aim This research aimed to propose a logistic regression model for Japanese blunt trauma victims. Methods We tested whether the logistic regression model previously created from data registered in the Japan Trauma Data Bank between 2005 and 2008 is still valid for the data from the same data bank between 2009 and 2013. Additionally, we analyzed whether the model would be highly accurate even ...

Post-traumatic pulmonary hernia can occur immediately after thoracic trauma or it may also appear months or even years after the onset. We report a case of a seventeen year-old male patient with thoracic blunt trauma secondary to high energy bicycle accident. Chest CT shows moderate hemothorax and pneumothorax, displaced fracture of the fifth left rib, and protusion of pulmonary tissue through ...

Chest injuries are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in trauma patients. Significant morbidity can result from pain and respiratory distress in patients of blunt trauma chest.A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted at our institute on patients suffering from blunt trauma chest. A total of 36 patients were studied. Patients were randomized to two groups of 18 e...

Background and Aim. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of demographic characteristics, biochemical parameters, amount of blood transfusion, and trauma scores on morbidity in patients with solid organ injury following trauma. Material and Method. One hundred nine patients with solid organ injury due to abdominal trauma during January 2005 and October 2015 were examined retrospe...

Background: Two main issues that challenge model building are number of Events Per Variable and multicollinearity among exploratory variables. Our aim is to review statistical methods that tackle these issues with emphasize on penalized Lasso regression model.  The present study aimed to explain problems of traditional regressions due to small sample size and m...

Objective: A review of the medical literature was undertaken to determine cause, diagnosis, prognosis, treatment and prevention of injuries resulting from birth trauma. The primary focus was the neonate, though infant, child and adult were also considered because the effects of birth trauma can be life-long. Data Source: A compilation of case studies and re view articles were extracted from num...
