BACKGROUND:While tissue injury provokes fibrinolysis shutdown in trauma, the mechanism remains elusive. Cellular death causes release of structural proteins, including actin and myosin, which may interact with clot formation and structure. We hypothesized that tissue injury is associated with high circulating actin and that actin produces a hypercoagulable profile with ... Read more >>

BACKGROUND:Survivors of gun violence may develop significant mental health sequelae and are at higher risk for reinjury through repeat violence. Despite this, survivors of gun violence often return to the community where they were injured with suboptimal support for their mental health, emotional recovery, and well-being. The goal of this ...

BACKGROUND:There are well-known disparities for patients injured in rural setting versus urban setting. Many cite access to care; however, the mechanisms are not defined. One potential factor is differences in field triage. Our objective was to evaluate differences in prehospital undertriage (UT) in rural setting versus urban settings. METHODS:Adult patients ...

OBJECTIVES:Trauma patients with isolated subarachnoid hemorrhage (iSAH) presenting to nontrauma centers are typically transferred to an institution with neurosurgical availability. However, recent studies suggest that iSAH is a benign clinical entity with an excellent prognosis. This investigation aims to evaluate the neurosurgical outcomes of traumatic iSAH with Glasgow Coma Scale ... Read more >>

BACKGROUND:Traumatic hemorrhage and coagulopathy represent major sources of morbidity and mortality on the modern battlefield. Viscoelastic testing (VET) offers a potentially more personalized approach to resuscitation. We sought to evaluate outcomes of combat trauma patients who received VET-guided resuscitation compared with standard balanced blood product resuscitation. METHODS:Retrospective analysis of the ...

BACKGROUND:Identifying individuals at highest risk maximizes efficacy of prevention programs in decreasing recidivist gunshot wound (GSW) injury. Characteristics of GSW recidivists may identify this population. Hospital-based violence intervention programs (HVIPs) are one effective strategy; however, programs are expensive, therefore, when possible, epidemiologic data should guide inclusion criteria. METHODS:Seventeen years of ... Read more >>
