BACKGROUND:Shorter prehospital time in patients sustaining penetrating trauma has been shown to be associated with improved survival. Literature has also demonstrated that police transport (vs. Emergency Medical Services [EMS]) shortens transport times to a trauma center. The purpose of this study was to determine if ShotSpotter, which triangulates the location ... Read more >>

BACKGROUND:Individuals with Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) have extended inpatient hospital stays that includes prolonged mechanical ventilation, increasing risk for infections, including pneumonia. Studies show the negative short-term effects of hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) on hospital-based outcomes; however, little is known of its long-term effects. METHODS:Prospective cohort study.

BACKGROUND:The efficacy of surgical stabilization of rib fracture (SSRF) in patients without flail chest has not been studied specifically. We hypothesized that SSRF improves outcomes among patients with displaced rib fractures in the absence of flail chest.

BACKGROUND:Postoperative pancreatic fistula (POPF) remains a significant source of morbidity following distal pancreatectomy (DP). There is a lack of information regarding the impact of trauma on POPF rates when compared with elective resection. We hypothesize that trauma will be a significant risk factor for the development of POPF following DP. ... Read more >>

BACKGROUND:Phosphatidylserine (PS) is normally confined in an energy-dependent manner to the inner leaflet of the lipid cell membrane. During cellular stress, PS is exteriorized to the outer layer, initiating a cascade of events. Because cellular stress is often accompanied by decreased energy levels and because maintaining PS asymmetry is an ... Read more >>
