Time of injury in light of prior-to-injury and usual alcohol consumption: an emergency department study by Herv&amp;eacute; Kuendig, Lucie Laflamme, Gerhard Gmel, et al

“…Herv&amp;eacute; Kuendig1, Lucie Laflamme2, Gerhard Gmel1, Jean-Bernard Daeppen3, Marie Hasselberg21Addiction Info Switzerland, Research Institute, Lausanne, Switzerland; 2Department of Public Health Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, Sweden; 3Alcohol Treatment Center, Lausanne University Hospital, Lausanne, SwitzerlandPurpose: To investigate how prior-to-injury and usual alcohol consumption relate to time of injury.Patients and methods: The associations between injury time of day and day of week and prior-to-injury (labeled as &amp;ldquo;acute&amp;rdquo;) alcohol intake and hazardous usual alcohol consumption (considered from the point of view of both heavy episodic drinking [HED] and risky volumes of consumption) are assessed using interview data from a randomized sample of 486 injured patients treated in a Swiss emergency department (ED; Lausanne University Hospital).Results: Acute consumption was associated with both injury time of day and day of week, HED with day of week only, and risky volume with none.Conclusions: Acute consumption and HED, but not risky volume of consumption, show specific time distributions for injuries. …”

Temporal Changes of the Oral and Fecal Microbiota after Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Rats by 16S rRNA Sequencing by Shujuan Wang, Yanjie Shang, Zhiyun Pi, Ziqi Zhou, Xiangyan Zhang, Lipin Ren, Weibo Liang, Yadong Guo, Jifeng Cai, Changquan Zhang

“…Therefore, we investigated the relationship between the temporal changes of the oral cavity and fecal bacterial communities with damage identification and post-injury time estimation after mTBI. In this study, we analyzed the oral cavity and fecal bacterial communities in mTBI rats under 12 different post-injury times (sham, 0 h, 2 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 2 d, 3 d, 5 d, 7 d, 10 d, and 14 d post-injury) using 16S rRNA sequencing technology. …”

A study of 62 cases of sciatic nerve injury by Ali K. AL-Shalchy

“…Patients and methods: 62 patients collected from the neuro-surgical unit in the specialized surgical hospital from Jan-2004 till October 2007, all patients studied thoroughly regarding age, Gender, type of injury, time of injury & outcome. Results: 85% of our patients were ♂, 45% were in the age of 21-30 years, most injured by bullet or shells, the delay in surgery was mostly 1-3m, the repair is by direct suture 45%, 29% release of adhesions 16%, excision of neuroma & suturing, 9.6% by nerve graft, the direct suturing carried the best results, & grafting the worse type, comparism done with universal studies. …”

Expression of Hsp70 and Caspase-3 in rabbits after severe traumatic brain injury by ZHANG Jing, TAO Dai-qin, ZHAO Hui, YIN Zhi-yong

“…【Abstract】 Objective: To investigate the expres-sion of Caspase-3 and Hsp70 in rabbits after severe trau-matic brain injury (TBI) and to explore the feasibility of its application in estimation of injury time in forensic medicine. Methods: A rabbit model of heavy TBI was developed by high velocity impact on the parietal bone with an iron stick. …”

Levels of Arachidonic Acid?Derived Oxylipins and Anandamide Are Elevated Among Military APOE ?4 Carriers With a History of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury and Post-Traumatic Stress Dis... by Aurore Nkiliza, Claire J.C. Huguenard, Gregory J. Aldrich, Scott Ferguson, Adam Cseresznye, Teresa Darcey, James E. Evans, Michael Dretsch, Michael Mullan, Fiona Crawford, Laila Abdullah

“…However, blood biomarkers are still needed to help with a differential diagnosis of mild TBI (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) at chronic post-injury time points. Owing to the association between phospholipid (PL) dysfunction and chronic consequences of TBI, we hypothesized that examining bioactive PL metabolites (oxylipins and ethanolamides) would help identify long-term lipid changes associated with mTBI and PTSD. …”
