Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La traumatologie dite « non vitale » représente une part importante de l'activité des services d'accueil des urgences (SAU), dont certaines lésions peuvent affecter le pronostic fonctionnel des patients. Nous avons identifié 3 pathologies fréquentes et à risque d'erreur diagnostic (luxation gléno-humérale, entorse du genou et traumatisme du rachis cervical). L'objectif de notre étude est de décrire les modalités de prise en charge des patients présentant des pathologies traumatiques non vitales dans les SAU de la Région Auvergne Rhône-Alpes. Nous avons réalisé 2 enquêtes de pratiques par questionnaire Google Form© auprès des médecins urgentistes de l'hôpital Nord-ouest (HNO) de Villefranche-sur-Saône et auprès de l'ensemble des SAU de la région Auvergne Rhône-Alpes. Concernant l'organisation des SAU, 39,4% ne possèdent pas de filière traumatologique. Pour ceux en possédant une, celle-ci est mutualisée dans 54% des cas avec une filière courte médicale. Les luxations gléno-humérales ne bénéficient d'une consultation post-urgence que dans 51% des cas. Seuls 20% des SAU proposent une formation continue concernant les traumatismes du genou. Concernant les traumatismes cervicaux, seuls 18% des SAU se basent sur des critères validés pour la prescription de radiographies. La prise en charge de la traumatologie dite « non vitale » dans les SAU est relativement homogène. La prise en charge des traumatismes cervicaux pourrait bénéficier de l'utilisation d'algorithmes de prescriptions. Concernant les traumatismes du genou et les luxations gléno-humérales, l'optimisation des prises en charge passe par l'organisation des consultations de réévaluation spécialisée et de la rééducation. L'enjeu est celui de la récupération fonctionnelle et la prévention de la récidive.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction Le médecin généraliste (MG) est en première ligne pour la prise en charge des pathologies courante, dont les pathologies traumatiques. Nous avons cherché à évaluer son activité de traumatologie. Matériel et méthode Il s'agit d'une étude cas-témoin, déclarative, multicentrique, entre décembre 2015 et mars 2016. Nous avons sollicité des MG titulaires de la capacité de médecine du sport, que nous avons apparié à des MG installés dans les mêmes villes. Le critère de jugement principal était la prise en charge de la traumatologie au sein du cabinet ainsi que celle de 4 pathologies simples. Résultats 23 MG formés (groupe 1) et 46 MG non titulaires du diplôme (groupe 2) ont été inclus. Tous les médecins du groupe 1 pratiquaient la traumatologie et 37 (80,4%) médecins du groupe 2, p=0,002. 19 (82,6%) médecins du groupe 1 suturaient les plaies cutanées superficielles et 27 (58,7%) dans le groupe 2. 22 (95,6%) médecins du groupe 1 prenaient en charge les entorses de cheville et 36 (78,2%) dans le groupe 2 ; p=0,024. 11 (47,8%) médecins du groupe 1 prenaient en charge les fractures non chirurgicales de tête radiale et 14 (30,4%) dans le groupe 2 ; p=0,051. Enfin, 15 (65,2%) médecins du groupe 1 prenaient en charge les fractures non chirurgicales de métacarpiens contre 29 (63,1%) dans le groupe 2.Conclusion L'activité traumatologique en ambulatoire par le MG est une réalité. Elle mérite d'être valorisée, participant du rôle de premier recours du médecin généraliste auprès de ses patients. La poursuite de la formation du médecin généraliste à la traumatologie parait donc indispensable.

Download or read book The Apallic Syndrome written by G. Dalle Ore and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 448 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The subject of the apallic syndrome is one which has long been familiar to me, although I have not personally studied it as deeply as I would have wished. I became acquainted with this syndrome long before the last war, when my neurosurgical colleague Hugh Cairns (1952), made his pioneer contribution under the term "akinetic mutism" . This was an ar resting title, but it was one which did not altogether satisfy some of his colleagues, includ ing myself. We found it difficult to suggest an alternative. That is one reason why I wel come the expression "apallic syndrome" . Forensic practice has forced me from time to time to consider rather more deeply this distressing syndrome, and to try and marshal my ideas in a form which would satisfy my colleagues in the legal profession. More than once I have been instructed to make a medico legal assessment of these unfortunate patients. The points which have concerned my lawyer friends have not been matters of diagnosis, or of morbid anatomy, or of etiology. The fac tual problem which has been put before me was to make some approximate assessment as to the expectation of life. Vague guess-work is unacceptable in such circumstances. What the lawyers require is a precise and dogmatic answer.

Download or read book Dictionary of Abbreviations in Medical Sciences written by Rolf Heister and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 451 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not everyone is a friend of the manifold abbreviations that have by now beCome a part of the scientific language of medicine. In order to avoid misunderstanding these abbreviations, it is wise to refer to a reliable dic tionary, such as this one prepared by Heister. The abbreviation ED means, for instance, effective dose to the pharmacologist. However, it might also stand for emetic dose. Radiologists use the same abbreviation for erythema dose, and ED could also mean ethyl dichlorarsine. A com mon meaning of ECU is European currency unit, a meaning that might not be very often in scientific medical publications. ECU, however, also means environmental control unit or European Chiropractic Union. Hopefully, those making inventions and discoveries will make use of Heister's dictionary before creating new abbreviations when preparing manuscripts for scientific publications. It is a very worthwhile goal not to use the same abbreviation for several different terms, especially if it is already widely accepted to mean only one of them. It may be impossible, however, to achieve this goal in different scientific disciplines. Therefore, although it is wise for the abbreviations used in a publication to be defined, it is also very helpful for readers and writers to use a dictionary such as this one. The author deserves our warmest thanks since we know that compiling such a comprehensive dictionary is based upon incredibly hard effort.

Download or read book TOP KNIFE The Art Craft of Trauma Surgery written by Asher Hirshberg, and published by tfm Publishing Limited. This book was released on 2004-10-01 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will help you take a badly wounded patient to the operating room, organize yourself and your team, do battle with some vicious injuries and come out with the best possible result. It is a practical guide to operative trauma surgery for residents and registrars, for general surgeons with an interest in trauma, and for isolated surgeons operating on wounded patients in military, rural or humanitarian settings. A surgical atlas may show you what to do with your hands but not how to think, plan and improvise. Here you will find practical advice on how to use your head as well as your hands when operating on a massively bleeding trauma patient. The first part of this book presents some general principles of trauma surgery. The second part is about trauma surgery as a contact sport. Here we show you how to deal with specific injuries to the abdomen, chest, neck and peripheral vessels. The single most important lesson we hope you will derive from this book is to always keep it simple because, in trauma surgery, the simple stuff works.

Download or read book Biological Matrices and Tissue Reconstruction written by G. Björn Stark and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 330 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: C.A. VACANTI The loss or failure of an organ or tissue is one of the most frequent, devastating, and costly problems in human health care. Advances in the medical sciences have enabled physicians to restore lost functions in their patients through or gan transplantation, reconstructive surgery with autogenous tissue transfer, or the implantation of alloplastic materials. Although only recently termed "Tissue Engineering" [1], the use of biological andlor synthetic materials in conjunction with cells to create biologic substitutes to serve as functional tis sue replacements has been explored by modern scientists for several decades. The concept of generating functional tissue from an organ biopsy was de scribed very early in the literature: "The Lord God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. The Lord God then built up into a woman the rib that he had taken from the man" [2]. Review of history further reveals that, according to legend, the first homotransplantation of an entire limb was performed by Saints Damian and Cosmas, as depicted by the artist Fra Angelico.

Download or read book A National Trauma Care System written by National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2016-10-12 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Advances in trauma care have accelerated over the past decade, spurred by the significant burden of injury from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Between 2005 and 2013, the case fatality rate for United States service members injured in Afghanistan decreased by nearly 50 percent, despite an increase in the severity of injury among U.S. troops during the same period of time. But as the war in Afghanistan ends, knowledge and advances in trauma care developed by the Department of Defense (DoD) over the past decade from experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq may be lost. This would have implications for the quality of trauma care both within the DoD and in the civilian setting, where adoption of military advances in trauma care has become increasingly common and necessary to improve the response to multiple civilian casualty events. Intentional steps to codify and harvest the lessons learned within the military's trauma system are needed to ensure a ready military medical force for future combat and to prevent death from survivable injuries in both military and civilian systems. This will require partnership across military and civilian sectors and a sustained commitment from trauma system leaders at all levels to assure that the necessary knowledge and tools are not lost. A National Trauma Care System defines the components of a learning health system necessary to enable continued improvement in trauma care in both the civilian and the military sectors. This report provides recommendations to ensure that lessons learned over the past decade from the military's experiences in Afghanistan and Iraq are sustained and built upon for future combat operations and translated into the U.S. civilian system.

Download or read book Sickle Cell Pain written by Samir K. Ballas and published by Lippincott Williams & Wilkins. This book was released on 2015-06-01 with total page 1004 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sickle Cell Pain is a panoramic, in-depth exploration of every scientific, human, and social dimension of this cruel disease. This comprehensive, definitive work is unique in that it is the only book devoted to sickle cell pain, as opposed to general aspects of the disease. The 752-page book links sickle cell pain to basic, clinical, and translational research, addressing various aspects of sickle pain from molecular biology to the psychosocial aspects of the disease. Supplemented with patient narratives, case studies, and visual art, Sickle Cell Pain’s scientific rigor extends through its discussion of analgesic pharmacology, including abuse-deterrent formulations. The book also addresses in great detail inequities in access to care, stereotyping and stigmatization of patients, the implications of rapidly evolving models of care, and recent legislation and litigation and their consequences.

Download or read book Fractures of the Hip written by Lorenz Büchler and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-07-27 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a state-of-the-art reference resource for surgeons treating patients with intra-articular fractures of the hip. It serves as a guide to assessing and classifying typical fracture patterns to reach the correct diagnosis and helps select the appropriate up-to-date treatment strategy. It describes in detail the complex anatomy of the acetabulum and proximal femur, and also explains the assessment of various radiological imaging techniques for the pelvis and the hip. The book highlights the advantages and disadvantages of traditional as well as newer surgical approaches to the hip and pelvis, such as surgical hip dislocation, hip arthroscopy, the pararectus approach, and combined approaches. For each surgical approach, the authors identify typical complications and document long-term outcomes. It also includes chapters on the management of specific fracture types, such as acetabular, femoral head (Pipkin), and femoral neck fractures, as well as traumatic hip dislocations, and pathological fractures due to osteoporosis or tumors. This book is part of the series Fracture Management Joint by Joint.

Download or read book Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis written by Pol Maria Rommens and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 314 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thanks to an increasing life expectancy of our populations the number of elderly persons is steadily growing and will continue to do so. Among these, the rate of persons with illnesses and degenerative diseases is significant. The prevalence of osteoporosis is especially high in elderly women and leads to typical fracture patterns. Hip fractures, proximal humerus fractures, distal radius fractures and fractures of the vertebral column are the most common. In the last decade, we are confronted with a sharp increase of fragility fractures of the pelvis. Until now, there is no consensus on how to identify and classify these lesions and there are no guidelines for treatment and after treatment. In particular, there is no common view on which patients need an operative treatment and which technique of osteosynthesis should be used. This book fills the gap in available literature and gives a state of the art guide to the treatment of fragility fractures of the pelvis. With the sharp increase of these fractures and the lacking consensus, Fragility Fractures of the Pelvis will become indispensable for the physicians who take care of elderly patients with this pathology. Written by a team of expert opinion leaders, the aim of this book is to contribute to the scientific discussion in this area and to help provide the optimal care for these patients.
