Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the impact of Trauma Recovery Services (TRS), a program facilitating engagement and recovery on satisfaction after orthopaedic trauma. Two hundred ninety-four patients with surgically managed extremity fractures were prospectively surveyed. Satisfaction was assessed after 12 months using a 13-question telephone survey, rated on a Likert scale from 1 to 5 (with five being excellent). TRS resource utilization during and after hospitalization was recorded. Eighty-eight patients (30%) used TRS. Overall satisfaction was high with a mean score of 4.32. Although no differences were observed between the control group and patients with TRS utilization in age, sex, race, insurance, smoking history, or employment status, TRS patients sustained more high-energy mechanisms (81% versus 56%) and had more associated psychiatric illness (33% versus 17%), both P < 0.01. Multivariable regression indicated general exposure to TRS to be an independent predictor of higher overall care ratings (B = 1.31; P = 0.03). Utilization of TRS was the greatest predictor of better overall care ratings. This study builds on existing evidence demonstrating the positive impact of Trauma Survivor Network programming.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
