Summary: The study suggests that diagnostic laparoscopy is safe, with a short hospitalization duration, potential for ambulatory care, and excellent ability to identify patients who do not require abdominal exploration.

Summary: This study evaluated the impact of laparoscopy on the management of penetrating abdominal trauma (PAT) and found that laparoscopy is safe and technically feasible for hemodynamically stable trauma patients. It can reduce unnecessary laparotomies and provide significant therapeutic and diagnostic advantages for traumatic diaphragmatic injuries.

Summary: This study found that selective nonoperative management (SNOM) was more commonly used for abdominal shotgun wounds than handgun wounds. However, SNOM was more likely to fail and occur earlier after shotgun injuries. SNOM after shotgun wounds was associated with improved mortality and decreased complication rates when compared with operative management (OM).

Summary: This study investigated the safety of non-operative management approach in delayed evacuation of battle-related abdominal injuries. The results showed that patients who were hemodynamically normal and had no abdominal pain or tenderness on repeated clinical assessment could be safely treated non-operatively.

Summary: This study aims to measure the association between gunshot wound (GSW) location and the need for surgical intervention. The results show that the location of facial GSW affects the requirement for operative treatment, with lower face injuries being the most likely to require surgery, followed by upper face and middle face injuries.

Summary: This study investigates the impact of environmental, social, and governance controversies on bank risk taking. The findings suggest that banks with fewer ESG controversies tend to take less risk. This is reflected in lower risk-weighted assets and higher Z-scores, indicating their compliance with ESG strategies to reduce risk. The study supports recent guidelines on climate-related and environmental risks and emphasizes the importance of integrating social, governance, climate-related, and environmental risks in banks' risk management framework.

Summary: Non-operative management is a safe and effective approach for penetrating renal injuries, with most failures occurring due to associated injuries.

Summary: This study reveals that one in five patients develop major abdominal complications (MAC) after penetrating abdominal trauma (PAT). Patients with firearm injuries are at higher risk of hollow viscus injury and peritoneal contamination, which are more predictive of MAC and nonabdominal complications.

Summary: The study demonstrates that selective nonoperative management of penetrating abdominal injuries is a safe practice even in regions with a low prevalence of such injuries. The outcomes of SNOM in this study are comparable to trauma centers treating larger numbers of patients with PAI.

Summary: This study compared the diagnostic performance of arterial phase plus portovenous phases (AP + PVP) and portovenous phase (PVP) alone in the detection and characterization of traumatic vascular injury. The results showed that AP + PVP improved the identification and characterization of vascular injuries, and increased radiologists' confidence.

Summary: The study aimed to describe thoracoabdominal injuries in children due to bicycle handlebars and their outcomes. Findings showed that male children were more commonly affected, with common clinical features including abdominal pain, vomiting, fever, and handlebar imprint, while the liver was the most frequently injured organ. Some children experienced worsening symptoms after discharge and required surgical intervention.

Summary: Penetrating injuries to the vertebral artery are rare and mostly occur in young adult men who were injured by gunshot wounds as a result of interpersonal violence. Nonoperative management is the most common strategy, while operative intervention is required mostly for stab wounds. Risk factors for both stroke and mortality are mainly due to patient factors and associated injuries.

Summary: This study investigated the correlation between electroretinogram (ERG) and visual outcome in eyes with metallic intraocular foreign body (IOFB) injury. It found that eyes with IOFB had delayed implicit time and reduced amplitude in ERG responses, with oscillatory potentials showing the most significant changes. Amplitudes were negatively correlated, while implicit times were positively correlated with final best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA).
