β-blockers have been shown to improve survival after traumatic brain injury (TBI), however, the impact of continuous dosage of β-blockers on cognitive function has not been elucidated. We hypothesized that a daily dose of propranolol can improve memory, learning and cognitive function following TBI.Twenty male-C57BL-mice were subjected to a cortical-controlled ... Read more >>

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. EMS) shortens transport times to a trauma center. The purpose of this study was to determine if ShotSpotter, which triangulates the location of gunshots and ... Read more >>

BACKGROUND:Pediatric cervical spine injuries (CSI) are rare but potentially devastating sequelae of blunt trauma. Existing protocols to evaluate children at risk for CSI frequently incorporate computerized topography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); however, the clinical value of performing both remains unclear.

BACKGROUND:Rib fracture scoring systems are limited by a lack of serial pulmonary physiologic variables. We created the Sequential Clinical Assessment of Respiratory Function (SCARF) score and hypothesized that admission, maximum, and rising scores predict adverse outcomes among critically ill rib fracture patients.

INTRODUCTION:Rib fractures are associated with increased mortality, particularly in the elderly. While opiate-based pain regimens remain the cornerstone of rib fracture management, issues related to opioids have driven research into alternative analgesics. Adjunctive ketamine use in lieu of opioids continues to increase but little evidence exists to support its efficacy ... Read more >>

BACKGROUND:Impaired post-injury platelet aggregation is common, but the effect of transfusion on this remains unclear. Data suggests that following injury platelet transfusion may not correct impaired platelet aggregation and impaired platelet aggregation may not predict the need for platelet transfusion. We sought to further investigate platelet aggregation responses to transfusions, ... Read more >>

BACKGROUND:There are no reports comparing wounding pattern in urban and public mass shooting events (CPMS). Because CPMS receive greater media coverage, there is a connation that the nature of wounding is more grave than daily urban gun violence. We hypothesize that the mechanism of death following urban GSWs is the ... Read more >>

BACKGROUND:Trauma is a leading cause of death, and traumatic brain injury (TBI) is one of the hallmark injuries of current military conflicts. VPA administration in high doses (300-400 mg/kg) improves survival in lethal trauma models, but effectiveness of lower doses on survival is unknown. This information is essential for properly ...
