BACKGROUND/AIM We have recently reported the development of oxidative cell damages in bombing casualties within a very early period after the initial injury. The aim of this study, was to investigate malondialdehyde (MDA), as an indicator of lipid peroxidation, and osmolal gap (OG), as a good indicator of metabolic cell damages and to assess their relationship with the initial severity of the i...

Abstract Background Although the results of previous studies suggested effectiveness physician-led prehospital trauma management, it has been uncertain because limited number high-quality studies.

Associations of objective measures of trauma exposure with psychological sequelae following motor vehicle accidents (MVA) were examined in a Japanese population. Impact and injury severity of 93 MVA victims was assessed using on-the-scene in-depth investigations measured by the Injury Severity Score (ISS), barrier equivalent speed (BES), and change in velocity during the impact (Delta-v). Resul...

BACKGROUND Traumatic bilateral adrenal injuries are uncommon. Adrenal injuries are overall associated with worse outcome than non-adrenal injuries.

BACKGROUND We sought to characterize risk factors for failed closure after damage-control laparotomy and to examine the impact of two broad categories of open abdomen-management technique on rates of fascial approximation. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed (January 2006-December 2008) all trauma patients with an open abdomen after damage-control laparotomy. Patients with definitive abdomina...
