Non-immediate initiation of basic life support (BLS), higher Simplified Acute Physiology Score II score and longer relative duration of vasopressor support were independent predictors of in-hospital mortality, while shockable rhythms were associated with improved survival. Higher Glasgow coma scale at ICU discharge and shorter length of ICU stay were predictors of better neurologic outcome.

This study highlights the positive prognostic impact of shockable rhythms, and confirms the importance of immediate initiation of BLS and prompt defibrillation, supporting the need for better training both outside and inside hospitals.

Furthermore, people are also exposed to ionizing radiation from their workplace or the environment. Apart from DNA fragmentation resulting in apoptosis, several additional mechanisms have been proposed to describe how radiation can alter human cell functions. Ionizing radiation may alter immune responses, which are the main cause of human disorders. Toll like receptors (TLRs) are important human innate immunity receptors which participate in several immune and non-immune cell functions including, induction of appropriate immune responses and immune related disorders. Based on the role played by ionizing radiation on human cell systems, it has been hypothesized that radiation may affect immune responses. Therefore, the main aim of this review article is to discuss recent information regarding the effects of ionizing radiation on TLRs and their related disorders.The Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) loci are extremely well documented targets of balancing selection, yet few studies have explored how selection affects population differentiation at these loci. In the present study we investigate genetic differentiation at HLA genes by comparing differentiation at microsatellites distributed genomewide to those in the MHC region. Our study uses a sample of 494 individuals from 30 human populations, 28 of which are Native Americans, all of whom were typed for genomewide and MHC region microsatellites. We find greater differentiation in the MHC than in the remainder of the genome (FST-MHC = 0.130 and FST-Genomic = 0.087), and use a permutation approach to show that this difference is statistically significant, and not accounted for by confounding factors. This finding lies in the opposite direction to the expectation that balancing selection reduces population differentiation. We interpret our findings as evidence that selection favors different sets of alleles in distinct localities, leading to increased differentiation. Thus, balancing selection at HLA genes simultaneously increases intra-population polymorphism and inter-population differentiation in Native Americans.Achieving the best possible articular congruity following a tibial plateau (TP) fracture is associated with better long-term functional outcomes; TP has an essential role in the movements of the knee joint and is well established that a not optimal reduction leads to articular instability and early osteoarthritis. In recent times, 3D reconstruction from CT scan has greatly contributed to improve the surgical treatment of these fractures since an accurate preoperative plan gives the possibility to decide the best interventional strategy before the surgical incision. Reduction of the posterior part of tibial plateau is not easily achievable with standard surgical access. Several posterolateral approaches, proposed by authors such as Frosch and Lobenhoffer, have been described over the years; these approaches can be divided into 2 groups with or without osteotomy of the fibula. Main disadvantages of these techniques are the large skin incision, the difficulty of exposing the lateral face of the tibia, the high frequency of damages of the posterolateral TP corner, and in some cases the necessity of performing fibular head osteotomy . The surgical approach presented in this paper is a simple innovation of the well-known Frosch approach skin incision is about 12 centimeters in length and runs in a "S" shape with the center positioned over the head of the fibula. It starts 2 centimeters laterally to the tibial crest 6 centimeters below the tibial tuberosity and is directed proximally, curving posteriorly at the level of fibular head and returning straight in the most proximal part; it terminates 4 centimeters posteriorly the lateral femoral condyle. This innovative approach allows the trauma surgeon to achieve an optimal exposure and control of posterior tibial plateau fractures, with the great advantage of being able to treat the lateral tibial plateau with the same surgical incision.

Financial relationships between industry and physicians are a key aspect for the advancement of surgical practice and training, but these relationships also result in a conflict of interest with respect to research. Financial payments to physicians are public within the United States in the Open Payments Database, but the rate of accurate financial disclosure of payments has not previously been studied in trauma surgery publications.

To determine the rate of accurate financial disclosure in major surgical trauma journals compared with the Open Payments Database.

The names of all authors publishing in The Journal of Orthopaedic Trauma, Injury, and The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery between 2015 and 2018 were obtained from MEDLINE. Non-physicians, physicians outside of the United States, physicians without payments in the Open Payments Database, and physicians with payments types of only "Food and Drink" were excluded. Financial disclosure statements were obtained from the journal websites and mey for advancing surgical practice and providing training to physicians. These relationships are not inherently unethical, but there is consistently high inaccuracy of financial disclosure across multiple trauma surgery journals which may indicate the need for further education on financial disclosures during surgical training or active obtainment of publicly available financial disclosures by journals.
