in the natural disasters such as earthquake, based on severity of trauma, time under the rubble and quality/quantity of hydratation we will confront with a spectrum of traumatic rhabdomyolysis. in present study we evaluate victims of bam earthquake to show different stage of muscle trauma, from minor trauma with almost normal level of muscle enzyme to those with moderate trauma leading to crush...

BACKGROUND The objective of this study is to report the clinical and radiological characteristics and early and long-term survival of a series of acute traumatic aortic injuries (ATAI) in crush trauma patients, and to compare such data with our last 30 years experience managing ATAI in deceleration non-crush trauma patients. METHODS From January 1980 to December 2010, 5 consecutive ATAI in cr...

Arrays of chronically implanted electrodes were used to examine the time course of elongation and maturation of peripheral nerve fibers in the cat after crush of the tibial nerve in the proximal calf. Regeneration after crush alone was compared with crush 5 mm proximal to a tight constriction of the nerve. Regeneration was monitored by the progression of excitability along the electrode arrays ...

course of elongation and maturation of peripheral nerve fibers in the cat after crush of the tibial nerve in the proximal calf. Regeneration after crush alone was compared with crush 5 mm proximal to a tight constriction of the nerve. Regeneration was monitored by the progression of excitability along the electrode arrays on the tibial and plantar nerves. The sensitivity was sufficient to recor...

BACKGROUND Classical crush has a lower rate of final kissing balloon inflation (FKBI) immediately after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The double kissing (DK) crush technique has the potential to increase the FKBI rate, and no prospective studies on the comparison of classical with DK crush techniques have been reported. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three hundred and eleven patients with ...

BACKGROUND During atrial flutter, double potentials may be recorded at specific sites in the atria. It has been suggested that double potentials represent sequential activations at the center of the reentrant circuit. An alternative hypothesis is that double potentials represent electrical activity in an area of slow conduction. Understanding their mechanism is important because double potentia...

Abstract To this day, the trial of Pol Pot in July 1997 Anlong Veng remains an underexplored topic, possibly because it is seen as a parody justice organised by rival Khmer Rouge faction. Images event show old and fragile man who has to be supported guards meeting hall. Drawing on anthropologist Ashley Thompson’s study ‘substitute body king’, paper examines corporeal strategies at play display ...

Extensive muscle crush injury culminating in a crush syndrome or traumatic rhabdomyolysis is often lethal unless treated actively on war footing. The causes of death in crush syndrome include hypovolemic shock, hyperkalemia, hypocalcemia, metabolic acidosis, acute myoglobinuric renal failure and the acute muscle – crush compartment syndrome. The literature is divided on the treatment, while som...
