The type strain is YIM B01951T (= NBRC 115331T = KCTC 43370T).Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) following a traumatic injury is a significant public health concern impacting approximately a third of traumatically injured patients. In 2018, the American College of Surgeons (ACS) Committee on Trauma recommended implementation of PTSD screening and brief intervention in level 1 trauma centers to meet the mental health needs of this underserved population. In March 2022, ACS revised its standards to include a requirement for mental health screening and referral process in level 1 and level 2 trauma centers. However, implementation of these programs has been limited. One barrier to implementation has been the lack of cross-trained trauma and health psychologists to support the development and implementation of trauma-focused programs in acute and critical care settings. This paper is a call to action to bring together experts in the fields of trauma and health psychology to effectively address training gaps in post-injury PTSD and medical traumatic stress. Through development of trauma and health psychology cross-training models, the field of psychology can collaborate to meet the increasing demand for trauma-focused psychologists in acute and critical care settings.

Military populations, including fast jet aircrew (FJA-aka fighter aircrew/pilots), commonly suffer from musculoskeletal complaints, which reduce performance and operational capability. Valid surveillance tools and agreed recordable injury definitions are lacking. Our objective was to develop and then evaluate the validity of a musculoskeletal complaints surveillance and monitoring tool for FJA.

A Delphi study with international experts sought consensus on recordable injury definitions and important content for use in a surveillance and monitoring tool for FJA. Using these results and feedback from end-users (FJA), the University of Canberra Fast Jet Aircrew Musculoskeletal Questionnaire (UC-FJAMQ) was developed. Following its use with 306 Royal Australian Air Force (RAAF) FJA over 4 × five-month reporting periods, validity of the UC-FJAMQ was evaluated via multi-level factor analysis (MFA) and compared with routine methods of injury surveillance.

Consensus was achieved for eight words/descriptors for de reporting periods. Adoption of consistent, sensitive, and valid surveillance methods will strengthen the FJA injury prevention literature, ultimately enhancing their health, performance, and operational capability.

The UC-FJAMQ was developed to specifically address the complexities of injury surveillance with FJA, which are similar to those noted in other military and sporting populations. The results demonstrated the UC-FJAMQ to be sensitive and valid within a large group of FJA over 4 × five-month reporting periods. Adoption of consistent, sensitive, and valid surveillance methods will strengthen the FJA injury prevention literature, ultimately enhancing their health, performance, and operational capability.

Neuropathic arthropathy (NA) of the shoulder is a chronic progressive process characterized by joint destruction in the presence of a neurosensory deficit. Syringomyelia, a spinal cord disease, is the leading cause of NA in the upper extremity.

We present a systematic review of NA with syringomyelia cases alongside a case report of an adult with NA of the shoulder that occurs a few 4years after a revelation and surgical management of a Chiari malformation with syringomyelia.

A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. A PubMed, Scopus, Isiknowledge, and manual search through references of relevant publications were used to identify all published case reports of NA. Data were collected from each case report on patient characteristics.

The systematic review identified 56 publications and 85 patients (including ours) nearly the same number of males (n = 41) and females (n = 44). The mean age was 50,69. Presentations included reduction of mobility (n = 66), swelling (n = 61) and sensory disorder (n = 63). The pain was absent in 41 cases. In the majority of reported cases 56 (65.1%), syringomyelia was revealed by neuropathic arthropathy, and eleven patients (12.9%) had a history of syringomyelia. Treatment was categorized into non-operative management (37[43.5%]), operative management (27[31.7%]). Following-up was non-reported in 31 (36%) cases. Improvement was reported more with patients who underwent a surgical approach than medical one 28.5% versus 8.1%.

Physicians need to be more aware of this destructive joint disease, rare, and often misdiagnosed. Also, it is imperative to integrate clinical, pathological, and imaging findings for accurate diagnosis and for delivering appropriate therapy.

The risk of getting seriously ill after infection with SARS-COV-2 during the present COVID-19 pandemic amplifies with age, suggesting that face masks should be worn especially during face-to-face contact with and between older people. However, the ability to accurately perceive and understand communication signals decreases with age, and it is currently unknown whether face masks impair facial communication more severely in older people. We compared the impact of surgical face masks on dynamic facial emotion recognition in younger (18-30 years) and older (65-85 years) adults (N = 96) in an online study. Participants watched short video clips of young women who facially expressed anger, fear, contempt or sadness. Faces of half of the women were covered by a digitally added surgical face mask. As expected, emotion recognition accuracy declined with age, and face masks reduced emotion recognition accuracy in both younger and older participants. Unexpectedly, the effect of face masks did not differ between age groups. Further analyses showed that masks also reduced the participants' overall confidence in their emotion judgements, but not their performance awareness (the difference between their confidence ratings for correct and incorrect responses). Again, there were no mask-by-age interactions. Finally, data obtained with a newly developed questionnaire (attitudes towards face masks, atom) suggest that younger and older people do not differ in how much they feel impaired in their understanding of other people's emotions by face masks or how useful they find face masks in confining the COVID-19 pandemic. In sum, these findings do not provide evidence that the impact of face masks on the decoding of facial signals is disproportionally larger in older people.In this study, behavioral plasticity in harbor seals was investigated in spatial reversal learning tasks of varying complexities. We started with a classic spatial reversal learning experiment with no more than one reversal per day. The seals quickly learned the task and showed progressive improvement over reversals, one seal even reaching one-trial performance. In a second approach, one seal could complete multiple reversals occurring within a session. Again, a number of reversals were finished with only one error occurring at the beginning of a session as in experiment 1 which provides evidence that the seal adopted a strategy. In a final approach, reversals within a session were marked by an external cue. This way, an errorless performance of the experimental animal was achieved in up to three consecutive reversals. In conclusion, harbor seals master spatial, in contrast to visual, reversal learning experiments with ease. The underlying behavioral flexibility can help to optimize behaviors in fluctuating or changing environments.

This retrospective study aims to define the optimal timing of the surgical treatment of orbital floor trapdoor fractures (OFTFs) in adults according to clinical and radiological findings.

From January 2006 to December 2020, 382 patients with isolated orbital floor fracture were admitted to the Division of Maxillofacial Surgery of Turin, Italy. The criteria for inclusion were age ≥ 16years, preoperative computed tomography showing a linear (1a) or medial hinge fracture (1b), diplopia, and 6months of follow-up data. Aetiology and mechanism of injury, presence of post-traumatic enophthalmos and oculocardiac reflex, time between trauma occurrence and surgery [stratified as < 24h (urgent treatment), 24-96h (early treatment), and > 96h (late treatment)], days of hospitalisation, and clinical outcomes were examinated.

Twenty-four patients (18 males; mean age, 23.2years) presented with OFTFs. The most common cause was sport injury (50%). Type 1a fracture was observed in eight patients (mean age, 19.5years), type 1b fracture in 16 patients (mean age, 23.6years). Urgent, early, and late treatments were performed in eight patients each. The mean time between trauma occurrence and surgery was 3,8days (range 0-17days). Resolution of diplopia was observed 1week after surgery in 10 patients, 1month in 12. Diplopia persisted in 2 patient, both treated > 96h after trauma.

Although the number of patients was too small to define a standard protocol, the authors recommend early treatment of adult OFTFs to promote complete resolution of diplopia.

This study examined the relationships between fetal quantitative Doppler parameters and amniotic fluid N-terminal prohormone brain natriuretic peptide (afNT-proBNP) levels as a biomarker of the increased cardiac load in recipient twins with twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS).

This single-center, prospective study included all monochorionic diamniotic (MD) twin pregnancies that were diagnosed with TTTS and underwent fetoscopic laser surgery. CX-5461 Doppler flow was used to measure the pulsatility index (PI) of the umbilical artery (UA), ductus venosus (DV), and middle cerebral artery (MCA) of each recipient and donor twins. The afNT-proBNP levels of recipient twins were examined at the time of surgery. The Spearman or Pearson correlation coefficients were used to assess the relationships between afNT-proBNP levels and Doppler parameters.

A total of 150 MD twin pregnancies were included. The afNT-proBNP levels of the recipient twins showed a stronger correlation with the DV-PI (r = 0.637; P < 0.001) of recipient twins than with the UA-PI and MCA-PI of recipient twins. The Doppler parameters of donor twins were scarcely correlated with the afNT-proBNP levels of the recipient twins.

A positive correlation between the DV-PI and afNT-proBNP levels of recipient twins with TTTS was observed. The recipient twin with an increased DV-PI is expected to be under a high cardiac load; therefore, DV-PI is a useful parameter for assessing increased NT-proBNP levels consecutively and noninvasively.
