The European trauma course – trauma teaching goes European

2014

The World Health Organization (WHO) has identified trauma as the major health care challenge of our century, claiming more productive life years worldwide than any other disease [1]. In the European Union (EU), injury accounts for 15 % of all deaths before the age of 60 years and is the fourth most common cause of death, with more than 235,000 deaths each year from injuries, equating to 600 injury fatalities per day [2]. In children, adolescents and young adults, accident and injury rates are even higher, being the leading cause of death in these age groups. Mortality from trauma in the EU has fallen 20 % in the past 20 years, to a rate of 63.7 per 100,000 in 2010 [3]. This reduction is par…

ESRA19-0543 Analgesic effects of dexamethasone when given perineurally or intravenously in the upper arm bone fracture and shoulder joint surgery

2019

Background and aims Shoulder surgery is associated with severe pain. Pain delays rehabilitation and lowers quality of life. Finding adjuvants to the LA to improve analgesia and facilitate mobilization has been the focus of researchers recently. The aim of this work was to investigate which administration methods—dexamethasone perineural or intravenously—prevents pain more effectively. Methods Prospective, randomized study conducted at Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopaedics after ethics committee approval. Study involved 75 patients with upper limb fracture or shoulder joint surgery in RA and GA. Group I: Bupivacaine 0.25% 70 mg + Dexamethasone 8 mg perineurally Group II: Bupivacaine 0.25…

Psychotraumatology in Pediatric Psychology: duplicity or integration of trauma in pediatric emergencies? A theoretical operational framework

2023

The study is the expression of the work carried out by the Italian Society of Pediatric Psychology (S.I.P.Ped.) and presents the theoretical and operational framework of the child and adolescent trauma in Pediatric emergency, which is defined in Pediatric Psychology through the approach of the Psychotraumatology, In this sense, the fundamentals of this approach are: • the type of trauma that develops while the event that caused it takes place and not after it has ended. This time can persist and could cause an atypical development. • the nature of the trauma is explained as an “aggregate” between organic trauma and psychic trauma. In this sense, the study underlines how this aggregate gives…

The significance of the triceps surae muscle action as a determinant in the biomechanical genesis of ski fall injuries

1985

In an epidemiologic study of 700 ski fall injuries YOUNG /1/ established a classification of the different fall modes involved. In more than 60 % of all falls that lead to an injury he found a forward bending motion of the body which is frequently coupled with a twisting of the body around the lower extremity. This clearly shows the importance of the forward motion component of the skier’s body in ski fall traumatology. The type of injury and its location depend on the action of the ski binding system. If the binding does not release in a ski fall, the fraction of injuries in the lower extremity amounts to nearly 100 %. If the binding does release, however, the injuries ocurring in this cas…

UC-USP collaborative exercise on photobiomodulation therapy in neurological orofacial disturbances.

2020

Background Neurosensory peripheral disorders are one of the most common risks associated with iatrogenic and/or post-traumatic injuries. It is often related to disability. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a nonsurgical and safe procedure which can accelerate and improve the regeneration of injured biological tissue. This study aims to analyze the impact of PBMT, in the quality of life and impairment of individuals with orofacial neurological peripheral disturbance. Material and methods A retrospective analysis in the database of the dental traumatology clinic of the Hospital Centre of the University of Coimbra/Faculty of Medicine of the University of Coimbra was performed.5 out of 50 in…

Étienne Destot (1864–1918) : l’anatomie radiographique

2014

Destot was born in Dijon, France, in 1864. He began his education in Burgundy, then he started his preclinical curriculum in Lyon, France, from 1884. He had to leave Lyon, and spent some times in Algeria to treat a tuberculosis. He came back in Lyon as a resident in 1886. Destot worked as an assistant in the laboratory of anatomy of Leo Testut in 1880. His thesis, in 1892, analyzed mortality in the departments of surgery of the Lyon hospitals. The polemical results he presented compromised his surgical career. He went on as prosector by Leo Testut, and then became electrician-physician in 1895 (electrotherapy and galvanotherapy). Etienne Destot of Lyon, France, developed in 1895 the first r…

Traumatismos dentarios en Valencia

2015

La Traumatología dental es la rama de la Odontología que aborda la epidemiología, etiología, prevención, evaluación, diagnóstico y tratamiento de los traumatismos producidos sobre los dientes, maxilares y tejidos circundantes. También abarca las secuelas postraumáticas, como la reabsorción radicular y su tratamiento. Hoy en día las lesiones traumáticas son la segunda causa de atención odontológica después de la caries, habiéndose producido un aumento en la prevalencia de estas lesiones en las últimas décadas. En todo el mundo existen más de 3.000 millones de pacientes con traumatismos dentales y cada año se añaden aproximadamente 60 millones más, demostrándose la alta prevalencia de estas l…

Guidance and Guideline-recommendations for the treatment of femoral neck fractures Romanian Society of Orthopaedics and Traumatology- SOROT 2018

2018

Abstract Two types of femoral neck fractures are nowadays identified: those resulting from low energy trauma, usually by direct by falling on the hip, in patients with affected bone stock (the so-called “fragility fractures”) and those produced by high energy trauma, even in younger people, with normal bone stock. These recommendations are addressed to the first category. for which impaired mineral bone density (MBD), osteopenia, and osteoporosis represent major enabling factors. These recommendations refer to classification-based local and general treatment of femoral neck fractures (excluding the basilar neck ones). The presumptive and definitive diagnoses include the precise description …
