A gripping portrait of trauma surgeons and their place in the controlled chaos of a trauma center, as told by a 40-year veteran of trauma care.

For all the awe-inspiring medical stories we might hear and the hospital dramas that dominate the ratings on television, most of us have no conception of the daily, Herculean efforts of trauma surgeons. A good trauma surgeon must be a conductor presiding over an orchestra of healthcare providers...

'Intrinsic Clocks' presents an array of current research activities on intrinsic clocks and their contributions to biology and physiology. It elucidates the current models for the intrinsic clocks, their molecular components and key mechanisms as well as the key brain regions and animal models for their behavioral analysis.

It provides a timely view on how these clocks guide behavior, and how their disruption may cause depressive-like behavior

"Everything you need to know to begin blending and brewing herbal teas that are as pleasing to the palate as they are wholesome for the body. There are many herbs to choose from, and an infinite variety of combinations to be made. With a little practice and a dash of daring you'll be whipping up "witchy brews" as tasty as they are healthy. It's easier than other kitchen crafts, like baking bread or canning jams, and far less messy. When the holidays...

The Proactive Molecular Risk Classifier for Endometrial Cancer (ProMisE) is a recent classification using molecular markers. It is based on results of The Cancer Genome Atlas project but the necessary tests are more clinically applicable and cheaper. The aim of this research was to apply ProMisE to a consecutive series of endometrial cancer (EC) patients, irrespective of histological type, diagnosed at a tertiary referral center and assign EC specimens...

Clinical Research Progress of Glaucomatocyclitic Crisis Glaucomatocyclitic crisis was initially described in detail by Posner and Schlossman in 1948, so it was also called Posner – Schlossman syndrome (PSS). PSS is a special form of anterior uveitis with glaucoma, mainly seen in young adults, characterized by non-granulomatousiri‐ docyclitis with significant elevation of intraocular pressure. In most cases, the disease takes an acute form of recurrent...

Background and Aims: Rib fractures occur in 10% of trauma patients, predisposing patients to pulmonary complications with associated morbidity and mortality. Local anesthetic-based (LA) nerve blocks improve pain scores and pulmonary function, but their duration is shorter than the duration of pain. Ultrasound-guided percutaneous cryoneurolysis is an alternative analgesic modality with the potential to provide multiple weeks of analgesia. - from introduction...

If you have traumatic memories from an extremely upsetting, stressful, or painful experience in your life, you are not alone. In fact, many young people have been exposed to traumatic events. As a result, you might have lingering flashbacks, trouble sleeping, or a constant feeling that you are in danger. These are common symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Based in cognitive behavioral therapy, this user-friendly workbook for teens...

Background and Goal of Study: For superficial surgery of antero- and posteromedial surfaces of the upper arm, the Medial Brachial Cutaneous Nerve (MBCN) and the Intercostobrachial Nerve (ICBN) must be selectively blocked, in addition to an axillary brachial plexus block (ABPB). We compared efficacy of ultrasound guided (USG) versus conventional block of the MBCN and the ICBN.- from introduction

PK/PD models developed in patients without brain pathology are widely used for target controlled infusion (TCI) of propofol during brain tumour excision operations. Although some animal and patient studies suggest that brain tumours and associated treatments alter the pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of the anaesthetic drugs, the evidence is conflicting. The goal of this study was to determine if the presence of a frontal brain tumour...
