Coronary Thrombosis without Dissection following Blunt Trauma.

ABSTRACT: Blunt trauma to the chest resulting in coronary thrombosis and ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a rare but well-described occurrence in adults. Angiography in such cases has generally disclosed complete epicardial coronary occlusion with thrombus, indistinguishable from the findings commonly found in spontaneous plaque rupture due to atherosclerotic disease. In all previously reported cases in which coronary interrogation with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) was performed in association with acute revascularization, coronary artery dissection was implicated as the etiology of coronary thrombosis. We present the first case report of blunt trauma-associated coronary thrombosis without underlying atherosclerosis or coronary dissection, as documented by IVUS imaging.

Testicular Rupture Following Blunt Scrotal Trauma.

Project description:Testicular rupture after blunt scrotal trauma is characterized by rupture of the tunica albuginea and extrusion of seminiferous tubules. This is a serious injury and appropriate evaluation and management are necessary both for symptom control, but also for preservation of the testicle. Clinical examination of the scrotum following trauma is difficult and may result in incorrect triage of patients for surgical exploration. This case study describes the assessment and management of blunt testicular trauma in an adolescent lacrosse player.

Coronary Sinus Rupture Due to Blunt Cardiac Trauma.

Project description:We present a very rare case of devastating blunt cardiac trauma with large right atrial rupture, contusion of the right atrioventricular groove, and coronary sinus tear. Surgical repair was successfully performed by urgently establishing cardiopulmonary bypass via the femoral vein and artery simultaneously with a median sternotomy. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Complete cricotracheal transection due to blunt neck trauma without significant symptoms.

Project description:Laryngotracheal injuries are relatively rare but their mortality rate is fairly high. Complete disruption of trachea is extremely rare and a systematic approach is needed for early diagnosis and favourable outcome. The patients symptoms and physical signs do not necessarily correlate with the severity of the injuries and this case report highlights it. This is a case report of 25-year-old man who arrived to the emergency department 8 h after a motor accident in which a rope was wrapped around his neck. Because of the good general and respiratory condition of the patient on admission, the pathognomonic signs of laryngeal injury were not noticed. A computed tomographic scan showed distortion of cricotracheal framework. Flexible bronchoscopy showed cricotracheal transaction. Immediately, the endotracheal tube was advanced distal to the transection site under bronchoscopic guide and then after neck exploration primary end-to-end cricotracheal anastomosis was performed.

Impact of Injury Severity on Dynamic Inflammation Networks Following Blunt Trauma.

Project description:INTRODUCTION:Clinical outcomes following trauma depend on the extent of injury and the host's response to injury, along with medical care. We hypothesized that dynamic networks of systemic inflammation manifest differently as a function of injury severity in human blunt trauma. STUDY DESIGN:From a cohort of 472 blunt trauma survivors studied following institutional review board approval, three Injury Severity Score (ISS) subcohorts were derived after matching for age and sex: mild ISS (49 patients [33 males and 16 females, aged 42 ± 1.9 years; ISS 9.5 ± 0.4]); moderate ISS (49 patients [33 males and 16 females, aged 42 ± 1.9; ISS 19.9 ± 0.4]), and severe ISS (49 patients [33 males and 16 females, aged 42 ± 2.5 years; ISS 33 ± 1.1]). Multiple inflammatory mediators were assessed in serial blood samples. Dynamic Bayesian Network inference was utilized to infer causal relationships based on probabilistic measures. RESULTS:Intensive care unit length of stay, total length of stay, days on mechanical ventilation, Marshall Multiple Organ Dysfunction score, prevalence of prehospital hypotension and nosocomial infection, and admission lactate and base deficit were elevated as a function of ISS. Multiple circulating inflammatory mediators were significantly elevated in severe ISS versus moderate or mild ISS over both the first 24 h and out to 7 days after injury. Dynamic Bayesian Network suggested that interleukin 6 production in severe ISS was affected by monocyte chemotactic protein 1/CCL2, monokine inducible by interferon ? (MIG)/CXCL9, and IP-10/CXCL10; by monocyte chemotactic protein 1/CCL2 and MIG/CXCL9 in moderate ISS; and by MIG/CXCL9 alone in mild ISS over 7 days after injury. CONCLUSIONS:Injury Severity Score correlates linearly with morbidity, prevalence of infection, and early systemic inflammatory connectivity of chemokines to interleukin 6.

Multi-Biomarker Prediction Models for Multiple Infection Episodes Following Blunt Trauma.

Project description:Severe trauma predisposes patients to multiple independent infection episodes (MIIEs), leading to augmented morbidity and mortality. We developed a method to identify increased MIIE risk before clinical signs appear, which is fundamentally different from existing approaches entailing infections' detection after their establishment. Applying machine learning algorithms to genome-wide transcriptome data from 128 adult blunt trauma patients' (42 MIIE cases and 85 non-cases) leukocytes collected ≤48 hr of injury and ≥3 days before any infection, we constructed a 15-transcript and a 26-transcript multi-biomarker panel model with the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) and Elastic Net, respectively, which accurately predicted MIIE (Area Under Receiver Operating Characteristics Curve [AUROC] [95% confidence intervals, CI]: 0.90 [0.84-0.96] and 0.92 [0.86-0.96]) and significantly outperformed clinical models. Gene Ontology and network analyses found various pathways to be relevant. External validation found our model to be generalizable. Our unique precision medicine approach can be applied to a wide range of patient populations and outcomes.

Surgical Management of Life-Threatening Thyroid Haematoma following Occult Blunt Neck Trauma.

Project description:A 42-year-old man arrived at the emergency department in severe respiratory distress, requiring immediate intubation and ventilation. An emergency computed tomography (CT) neck scan identified a substantial haematoma within a multinodular goitre, necessitating an emergency total thyroidectomy. It was later discovered that the patient had been the victim of an assault involving blunt trauma to the anterior neck. Five days postoperatively the patient was extubated and was well enough to self-discharge the following day. Pathology revealed the lesion to be a ruptured follicular adenoma within his multinodular goitre. Signs of this rare but life-threatening condition may be subtle on initial presentation, particularly if the patient is obtunded. Patients with suspected blunt neck trauma should be observed for signs of respiratory distress. If this develops, the patient should be intubated to facilitate CT scan, and if thyroid haematoma is confirmed, emergency thyroidectomy is the definitive treatment.

Laparoscopic treatment of biliary peritonitis following nonoperative management of blunt liver trauma.

Project description:IntroductionNonoperative management (NOM) of hemodynamically stable patients with blunt hepatic injuries is considered the current standard of care. However, it is associated with several in-hospital complications. In selected cases laparoscopy could be proposed as diagnostic and therapeutic means.Case reportA 28 years-old male was admitted in the Emergency Unit following a motor vehicle crash. CT-scan showed an isolated stade II hepatic injury at the level of the segment IV. Firstly a NOM was decided. Laparoscopic exploration was then performed at day 4 due to a biliary peritonitis. Intraoperative trans-cystic duct cholangiography showed a biliary leaks of left hepatic biliary tract, involving sectioral pedicle to segment III. Cholecystectomy, trans-cystic biliary drainage, application of surgical tissue sealing patch and abdominal drainage were performed. Postoperative outcome was uneventful, with fast patient recovery.ConclusionLaparoscopy has gained a role as diagnostic and therapeutic means in treatment of complications following NOM of blunt liver trauma. This approach seems feasible and safety, with satisfactory postoperative outcome.
