Traumatic diaphragmatic injuries are rare complications resulting from a thoracic-abdominal blunt or penetrating trauma. Diaphragmatic injury is entity and clinically difficult to be diagnosed as symptoms often masked due associated in poly trauma case. There no specific signs for diagnosing rupture. High degree of clinical suspicion needed all cases thoroco-abdominal diagnose case Left sided m...

Blunt trauma abdomen Duodenal injury Feeding jejunostomy Duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma is uncommon. It is notoriously difficult to diagnose and often overlooked leading to increased mortality and morbidity. We report a case of duodenal injury following blunt abdominal trauma and the relevant literature is reviewed.

The present study investigated the effects of in vivo gene transfer of human hepatocyte growth factor (hHGF) on neointima formation in rabbit abdominal aortae following ultrasound‑guided balloon injury. New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: endothelium injury alone (EI), endothelium injury with control vector transfection (EI‑V), endothelium injury with hHGF transfec...

The purpose of this study was to describe the 2linical findings in patients with splenic injury and to determine if ~solated left lower chest injury may be the single clinical indicator 2f splenic injury. The medical records of all adult blunt trauma patients with splenic injury over a 14 month period were reviewed. Significant left lower chest injury was considered present if the patient had l...

INTRODUCTION Inflammatory and protein mediators (cytokine, chemokine, acute phase proteins) play an important, but still not completely understood, role in the morbidity and mortality of intra-abdominal sepsis/injury. We therefore systematically reviewed preclinical and clinical studies of mediators in intra-abdominal sepsis/injury in order to evaluate their ability to: (1) function as diagnost...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effects of hemodynamic, respiratory and metabolic changes on intracranial pressure in a model of acute lung injury and abdominal compartment syndrome. METHODS Eight Agroceres pigs were submitted to five different clinical scenarios after instrumentation: 1) a baseline condition with low intra-abdominal pressure and healthy lungs; 2) pneumoperitoneum with 20 mmHg intr...

Splenic trauma in children following blunt abdominal injury is usually treated by nonoperative management (NOM). Splenectomy following abdominal trauma is rare in children. NOM is successful as in the majority of instances the injury to the spleen is contained within its capsule or a localised haematoma. Rarely, the spleen may suffer from an avulsion injury that causes severe uncontrollable ble...
