Management of traumatic fracture-dislocation of the shoulder in children: A systematic review of published case reports
Proximal humerus fracture with simultaneous shoulder dislocation in children is a rare occurrence, with few reported cases. This systematic review of case reports aimed to document the outcomes of different treatment methods. A comprehensive literature search from 1980 to 2024 included case reports on traumatic shoulder fracture-dislocation in children. Eighteen studies were included, with a mean followup of 1.5 years. The cases comprised 7 boys and 11 girls, aged between 11 months and 16 years (median 6 years). The cases were divided into two groups based on epiphysealinvolvement.
Managing acute jaw trauma in the emergency and urgent care clinics
Chronic pain conditions constitute the primary reason for seeking healthcare, the development of related disability and addiction, and the highest driver of healthcare costs. Chronic temporomandibular, jaw and orofacial pain after acute jaw sprain/strain can be prevented if prompt and appropriate treatment in an emergency or urgent care clinic is provided using a jaw sprain/strain clinical protocol immediately after onset to begin the healing and recovery process.
Case of traumatic tongue defect: A commentary
The tongue is a complex muscular organ essential for speech, taste, chewing and swallowing [1]. Tongue injuries range in severity from minor lacerations to complete amputation. The most common location is anterior dorsum as a result of falls, seizures, self-mutilation, electroconvulsive therapy or child abuse [1,2].
Our experience in providing anesthesia during surgical interventions for necrotizing enterocolitis
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is one of the most common serious acquired diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, both in full-term and premature infants. Studies show that the incidence of NEC among newborns is 2.4 per 1000 children. It was found that NEC in premature newborns occurs 12 times more often than in full-term patients [1].
Post-trauma brain: A commentary on functional brain alterations after trauma and implications to post-traumatic stress disorder
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a highly debilitating psychiatric condition that develops in a subset of individuals following a traumatic event, such as a threat of death, serious injury or sexual assault. Over the past two decades, substantial body of research has focused on key neural regions and circuits that play a role in pathogenesis and maintenance of PTSD symptoms. More specifically, hyper-activation of amygdala, insula, and dorsal anterior cingulate cortex, as well as hypo-activation in ventral medial prefrontal cortex and altered function of hippocampus have been repeatedly reported.
