: A 62-year-old man was referred to our center with a sarcoma of his left chest wall ingrowth into the pericardium and transdiaphragmatically abdomen. The diagnostic delay for patient extensive, at approximately 3.5 years. Judging by tumor size local ingrowth, on first examination, we considered this be borderline resectable. treated induction radiotherapy, resulting in relief pain but no radio...

Chest trauma is classified as blunt or penetrating, with being the cause of most thoracic injuries (90%). The main difference in penetrating opening cavity, created either by stabbing gunshot wounds, which absent chest trauma. Following head and extremities injuries, Blunt are third common injury polytrauma patients. Assessment patients clinical radiographic finding suggestive pneumothorax, rib...

We have previously reported that administration of a CD11d monoclonal antibody (mAb) improves recovery in a clip-compression model of SCI. In this model the CD11d mAb reduces the infiltration of activated leukocytes into the injured spinal cord (as indicated by reduced intraspinal MPO). However not all anti-inflammatory strategies have reported beneficial results, suggesting that success of the...

Background High-energy blunt chest injury will bring out severe cardiac and pulmonary injuries. It may cause cardiac contusion, rupture, cardiac valve dysfunction, and aortic laceration [1]. As traumatic hemopericardium occurs, ultrasound is a convenient and reliable tool for diagnosis. We presented a 55-year-old male victim of blunt chest trauma complicated with hemopericardium, cardiac tampon...

Image processing of the Turin Shroud (TS) shows that the Man represented in it has undergone an under glenoidal dislocation of the humerus on the right side and lowering of the shoulder, and has a flattened hand and enophthalmos; conditions that have not been described before, despite several studies on the subject. These injuries indicate that the Man suffered a violent blunt trauma to the nec...

BACKGROUND Uncertainty persists regarding the optimal ventilatory strategy in trauma patients developing acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). This work aims to assess the effects of two mechanical ventilation strategies with high positive end-expiratory pressure (PEEP) in experimental ARDS following blunt chest trauma. METHODS Twenty-six juvenile pigs were anesthetized, tracheotomized ...

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is an important health issue with high prevalence. The most common type of TBI is mild TBI (MTBI). MTBI is known as a condition with self-limited symptoms; however, it could cause some structural abnormalities of brain and become complicated. Visible structural brain damage could have an important effect on recovery after MTBI, but the outcome is not fully understoo...
