Abstract Background The intracranial chondroma is a sporadic type of benign tumor with an incidence less than 0.5% all tumors. Furthermore, this has been reported more frequently at the skull base, falx cerebri, and exceptionally dura, when it happened to be intracranial. Case presentation We report challenging diagnosis successful management rare case dural in 19-year-old student without past ...

building pounding occurs between two adjacent buildings with small gap or without sufficient separation distance. it leads to damage buildings during earthquake due to impact. many researchers have investigated building pounding based on impact force reduction and energy dissipation increase, when two buildings collide with each other. in numerical investigations, using specific link element, i...

INTRODUCTION Superior mesenteric artery occlusion (SMAO) is a simple and reproducible model of shock-induced gut ischemia/reperfusion, but some argue that it is not clinically relevant. The purpose of the current study was to compare SMAO to a standard model of controlled hemorrhage (CH) and uncontrolled hemorrhage (UH). METHODS Rats had femoral lines and a jejunal mucosal laser Doppler place...

OBJECTIVE Malaria is a prime public health threat in developing countries like India. There is an unmet need of a simplified methodology for the purpose of triage and provision of intensive care to the severely infected patients in these areas. MATERIALS AND METHODS We did a prospective study in patients (n=60) admitted with severe malaria in a single tertiary care center in the state of Hary...

OBJECTIVE To develop a validated mortality prediction score for children with traumatic injuries. PATIENTS AND METHODS We identified all children (<18 years of age) in the US military established Joint Theater Trauma Registry from 2002 to 2009 who were admitted to combat-support hospitals with traumatic injuries in Iraq and Afghanistan. We identified factors associated with mortality using un...

Objective: To review the available endpoints of shock resuscitation, including traditional perfusion parameters, oxygen-transport variables, lactate, base deficit (BD), venous oxygen saturation, and gastric mucosal pH, and to discuss the currently accepted methods of assessing successful reversal of oxygen (O2) debt in shock patients. Human-based studies: Early goal-directed therapy has unequiv...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to determine whether age <or=8 y is an independent predictor of mortality in noncoalition trauma patients at a US combat support hospital. METHODS A retrospective chart review was conducted of 1132 noncoalition trauma patients who were admitted to a combat support hospital between December 2003 and December 2004. Data on age, severity of injury indice...

BACKGROUND Thirst perception involves neurochemical signals attributed to acute elevation of arginine vasopressin (AVP) and angiotensin II (AT2) levels, and may accompany acute hemorrhage. OBJECTIVE To determine whether thirst or plasma AVP or AT2 levels predict hemorrhagic shock, injury severity, or outcome in trauma patients at initial presentation. METHODS This was a prospective case ser...
