Abstract

This study showed a retrospective analysis of the incidence and pattern of traumatic facial fractures in a pediatric and adolescent population (≤18 years old) in China. The authors retrospectively reviewed 154 children and adolescent who had traumatic facial fractures and who were admitted to our university-affiliated hospitals from 2005 to 2010. This study enrolled 109 males and 45 females aged 11.9 ± 5.2 years old. The incidence peaked around the periods of 12 to 18 years in the male, ≤6 and 16 to 18 years in the female. The most common etiologies were motor vehicle collisions (MVCs) (60, 39.0%), followed by high fall (40, 26.0%), low fall (32, 20.8%). The most common fracture sites were mandible (78, 50.6%) and nose (33, 21.4%), followed by orbit (31, 20.1%). A total of 35 (22.7%) patients suffered neurological deficit. The patients in the 12 to 18 age range group accounted for the largest proportion of 54.5%. Fracture incidence showed peaks between the hours of 12:00 to 16:00 PM (33.7%), during the autumn season (30.5%) and on Friday to Sunday (50.0%). The most common etiology and fracture site were MVCs and mandible, respectively. Etiologies and patterns of traumatic facial fractures vary with age. Continued efforts toward...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.
