Low MicroRNA-362 Linked to Acute Lung Injury After Murine Brain Trauma
Downregulation of microRNA-362-3' in extracellular vesicles fails to suppress proinflammatory TIMP-1 in a mouse model of head injury.
Hemothorax Volume Under 300 mL Predicts Successful Observation
A multicenter study finds that traumatic hemothorax volume over 300 mL increases the risk of observation failure sixteenfold.
Resuscitative Thoracotomy Yields 7.4 Percent Survival in Combat Trauma
A retrospective cohort study shows survival rates comparable to civilian trauma despite high-energy blast injuries and severe hemorrhage.
High-Ratio Plasma Resuscitation Reduces Mortality in Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury
A large database analysis suggests plasma-heavy transfusion improves 30-day survival for patients not requiring massive transfusion.
Donor Factors and Platelet Degranulation Drive Whole Blood Antifibrinolytic Variability
A study of 28 whole blood units identifies distinct high and low PAI-1 activity cohorts linked to endothelial markers and storage lesions.
For-Profit Trauma Centers Increase Redundancy but Fill Critical Access Gaps
Geospatial analysis shows for-profit centers serve 43 million people, often overlapping with existing nonprofit trauma infrastructure.
Early Plasma Reduces Mortality in Traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage
A retrospective study of 6,183 patients shows a 5% absolute survival drop for every 10-minute delay in plasma during the first half hour.
Indirect Expenses Account for 86 Percent of Trauma Resuscitation Costs
A time-driven activity-based costing analysis of 134 patients shows the average 17-minute resuscitation costs $3,628.
Noninvasive Fascial Traction Increases Primary Closure Rates in Open Abdomens
Adding a traction device to negative pressure therapy reduces the 12-month incisional hernia risk from 63.1% to 14.1%.
Whole Blood Reduces Male Trauma Mortality but Shows No Benefit in Females
A nationwide analysis of 8,631 patients finds sex-based disparities in both whole blood utilization and subsequent survival outcomes.
Short Appendiceal Stump on CT Predicts Complex Resection and Open Conversion
A retrospective review found that a stump length under 2 cm increases the odds of extended resection twenty-fold in complicated cases.
High-Dose Calcium Chloride Reduces 24-Hour Mortality in Trauma Patients
A 1:2 ratio of calcium chloride to whole blood units lowered the odds of early death by 84% in a retrospective cohort study.
