Sharp trauma is an injury resulting in wounds on the surface of body by sharp objects. comprosised three forms wounds, namely incised (vulnus scissum), stab punctum), and chopped caesum). Cardiac damage caused to heart which not congenital or degenerative nature but impact/physical collision from outside can reduce change consciousness lead cognitive abilities, physical function, death. In this...

Penetrating scrotal trauma is an uncommon injury that is often secondary to civilian or combat violence. Much of the literature on the topic is from case reports, small retrospective series from civilian trauma centers, and reports from combat zones. In this manuscript, a case report involving self-inflicted penetrating scrotal trauma from our institution is presented. Following the case report...

BACKGROUND Abdominal trauma is a major public health problem for all nations and all socioeconomic strata. AIM This study was designed to determine the incidence and patterns of abdominal injuries in trauma patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS We classified and identified the incidence and subtype of abdominal injuries and associated trauma, and identified variables related to morbidity and mort...

Objective: One of the most frequent causes of death and acquired disability in the pediatric population is the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). TBI is secondary to falls, road traffic and vehicle collisions, child abuse and assaults. Penetrating brain injury is a severe form of traumatic brain injury. Blunt head injury is more frequent than TBI in children, but the second one carries a poor progno...

PURPOSE We aimed to present the frequency of computed tomography (CT) signs of diaphragmatic rupture and the differences between blunt and penetrating trauma. MATERIALS AND METHODS The CT scans of 23 patients with surgically proven diaphragmatic tears (both blunt and penetrating) were retrospectively reviewed for previously described CT signs of diaphragmatic injuries. The overall frequency o...

Design: The authors created a computer system (TraumaSCAN) that integrates three-dimensional geometric reasoning about anatomic likelihood of injury with probabilistic reasoning about injury consequences using Bayesian networks. Preliminary evaluation of TraumaSCAN was performed via a retrospective study testing performance of the system on data from 26 cases of actual gunshot wounds. Measureme...

conclusions pneumoventricle is rare but it can be established after spinal trauma. by awareness of such possibility, accurate diagnosis by clinical examination and imaging is essential for these types of injuries introduction the presence of air within the intracranial cavity, due to the entry of air secondary to an abnormal communication after a dural tear, is defined as pneumocephalus and int...
