Abstract

During an 18-month period, among 35,000 injured patients presenting to an urban trauma center, more than 3,500 were admitted, and 1,500 underwent surgery on the General Surgical Service. Three hundred fifty-two patients with prehospital systolic blood pressures of less than 90 mm Hg were randomized on an alternate day basis to receive treatment with 'MAST' (163 patients) or 'No-MAST' (189 patients). Age, mechanism of injury, prehospital management times, prehospital trauma scores, prehospital fluids administered, Injury Severity Scores, emergency center treatment, operative protocol, and calculated probability of survival were virtually identical for both groups. Eighty-eight per cent of the injuries were produced by penetrating wounds. The predominant injury area was the abdomen in 40%, the thorax in 37%, and the extremities in 13%. There was no statistically significant difference in evaluation and outcome data between the groups. Within a controlled catchment, only 2.5% of injured patients and 22% of those undergoing operation qualified for prehospital use of MAST. We conclude that for penetrating trauma with prehospital times of 30 minutes or less, MAST provide no advantage with regard to survival, length of hospital stay, ...Continue Reading

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.
