Factors Associated With Psychological Disturbances During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Multicountry Online Study.
2021
Background Accumulating evidence suggests that the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted the mental health of individuals. However, the susceptibility of individuals to be impacted by the pandemic is variable, suggesting potential influences of specific factors related to participants’ demographics, attitudes, and practices. Objective We aimed to identify the factors associated with psychological symptoms related to the effects of the first wave of the pandemic in a multicountry cohort of internet users. Methods This study anonymously screened 13,332 internet users worldwide for acute psychological symptoms related to the COVID-19 pandemic from March 29 to April 14, 2020, during the fi…
Traumatic neuroma of the mandible: a case report with spontaneous remission
2014
Traumatic neuroma is a well-known disorder involving peripheral nerves, which occurs following trauma or surgery. The lesion develops most commonly in the soft tissues of the mental foramen area, lower lip and tongue. Intra-osseous lesions arising in jawbones are very uncommon. In this paper, we report a new case of an intra-osseous traumatic neuroma, discovered incidentally on a panoramic radiograph obtained for orthodontic documentation. In addition, the case herein described developed spontaneous remission, a situation not previously reported in the literature. Finally, we discuss relevant demographic, clinical, microscopic, immunohistochemical and treatment aspects of traumatic neuromas…
Aquaporin-4 distribution in control and stressed astrocytes in culture and in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with traumatic brain injuries
2012
Distribution of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) was studied by western analysis and immunofluorescence in rat astrocytes exposed to either hypothermic (30 °C) or hyperosmolar (0.45 M sucrose) stress, and in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of patients who suffered traumatic brain injury (TBI). CSF was obtained from 5 healthy subjects and from 20 patients suffering from severe TBI. CSF samples were taken at admission and on days 3 and 5-7. Here we report that, in response to both hypothermia and hyperosmolar stress, AQP4 was markedly reduced in cultured astrocytes. We also found that AQP4 significantly increased in patients with severe brain injury in respect to healthy subjects (P < 0.002). AQP4 in CSF rem…
Headache attributed to head or neck trauma
2010
Publisher Summary This chapter presents an overview of all types of posttraumatic headache (PTH): acute PTH, chronic PTH, and headache after a whiplash injury, taking account of the definition and latest criteria of International Headache Classification II (ICHD-II). Headache is a symptom that may occur after injury to the head, neck, or brain. PTH is a cardinal symptom of the “postconcussion syndrome” and may be accompanied by somatic, psychological, or cognitive disturbances. PTH is always a new-onset headache resulting from brain, head, and sometimes neck injury, and can simulate the clinical characteristics of several primary headaches. Severe, moderate, and mild head injuries can cause…
Pharmacogenetics and Pharmacotherapy of Military Personnel Suffering from Post-traumatic Stress Disorder
2017
Background Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe problem among soldiers with combating experience difficult to treat. The pathogenesis is still not fully understood at the psychological level. Therefore, genetic research became a focus of interest. The identification of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) may help to predict, which persons are at high risk to develop PTSD as a starting point to develop novel targeted drugs for treatment. Methods We conducted a systematic review on SNPs in genes related to PTSD pathology and development of targeted pharmacological treatment options based on PubMed database searches. We focused on clinical trials with military personnel. Results…
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…
European Resuscitation Council Guidelines for Resuscitation 2015
2015
Summary of changes since 2010 Guidelines The main changes in the ERC Guidelines 2015 in comparison with the Guidelines 20101are summarised below:Special causes•Survival after an asphyxia-induced cardiac arrest is rare and survivors often have severe neurological impairment. During CPR, early effective ventilation of the lungs with supplementary oxy-gen is essential.•A high degree of clinical suspicion and aggressive treatment can prevent cardiac arrest from electrolyte abnormalities. The new algorithm provides clinical guidance to emergency treatment of life-threatening hyperkalaemia.•Hypothermic patients without signs of cardiac instability(systolic blood pressure ≥90 mmHg, absence of vent…
Fast-Track Surgery and Early Rehabilitation for Total Hip Replacement in Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopaedics
2019
Abstract Due to an ageing population, the necessity for hip replacement has grown, and therefore, new options are being sought, such as the Fast-track principle, to improve patient condition, reduce their hospital stay and enhance the hospital’s ability to treat more patients. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of same-day patient mobilisation on pain, side effects, complications, duration of hospital stay, and recovery after primary hip replacement, using intermediate-acting local anaesthetics in spinal anaesthesia (SA). A prospective, randomised study was conducted at the Hospital of Traumatology and Orthopaedics. Forty-six patients undergoing total hip replacement were …
Which Future for Traumatology in Europe?
2010
AbstractThe last decades have been characterized by rapid changes in society, medicine and surgery. There is a distinct evolution towards specialization and super-specialization. Trauma surgery also evolves towards a specialty, focused on the care of the injured. To optimize the quality of care and meet the needs of patients and care providers, a well-structured trauma surgery training program as well as the regionalization of trauma care with the implementation of Level I trauma centers are needed. The core competence of the European trauma surgeon is the coordination of the early management of the severely injured and the treatment of muskuloskeletal trauma, which represent the most commo…
Simple bone cyst : a case report
2021
Background Simple bone cysts (SBC) are intraosseous cysts devoid of an epithelial lining, asymptomatic and appearing in the jaw. In general, SBCs are discovered incidentally and tooth displacement or pathological fractures are very unusual. Material and methods This study reports a 16 years old man that presented an asymtomatic radiolucent unilocular lesion in the right ascending ramus. Differencial diagnosis included odontogenic keratocyst and dentigerous cyst. One surgical intervention was performed and consisted in the curettage of the bone walls. The lesion and some small samples of the bone wall were sent for the anatomopathological study. Results The anatomopathological exam confirmed…
