Summary: This study analyzed a large number of cases from the Japanese Trauma Data Bank to reveal the incidence and characteristics of cranial nerve injuries. Facial nerve injury was the most common, occurring mostly in males aged 30-50, and often associated with skull base fractures.

Summary: This review summarizes the role of necroptosis in central nervous system trauma and its therapeutic implications, providing important suggestions for researchers conducting in-depth research. The study focuses on the necroptosis signaling pathway, execution, temporal patterns of RIPKs in CNS trauma, association of miRNAs with necroptosis, and different types of CNS trauma cell death. It also highlights potential agents for curtailing necroptosis-related cell death in CNS trauma.

Summary: The Injury Severity Score (ISS) is widely used in trauma research worldwide. This study analyzed the prevalence, in-hospital mortality, and odds ratio for mortality among Japanese injured patients over 10 years. The overall in-hospital mortality showed significant decreases, and mortality risk was higher for patients with higher ISS values. The findings suggest the need to reconsider the definition of severe injury based on ISS cutoff values.

Summary: This study aimed to determine the characteristics of Medical Related Pressure Injury (MDRPI) in adult intensive care patients. The study found that many patients did not receive adequate prevention and treatment interventions for MDRPI. Additionally, it is worth noting that about one-thirds of MDRPIs were mucosal injuries.

Summary: Although rare, thoracic injuries among children are a major cause of pediatric mortality. This study aimed to provide an overview of the incidence, injury patterns, and in-hospital outcomes of children with chest injuries. A retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Dutch Trauma Registry, and it found that the incidence rate of chest injuries in children was 4.9 per 100,000 person-years, with lung contusions and rib fractures being the most common injuries. The average hospital length of stay was 3 days, and the 30-day mortality rate was 6.8%.

Summary: This retrospective study investigated the characteristics, management, and outcomes of OGI in 625 eyes of 622 adult patients, revealing that severe OGI are most commonly seen in the young, middle-aged, and male working population, leading to significant vision loss or Evisceration of eyes. Effective preventive measures should be taken for individuals in these groups.

Summary: The study found that changes in weather factors and moon phases are associated with fall injuries in both metropolitan and rural areas. Factors such as precipitation, minimum temperature, wind speed, sunshine duration, and full moon were identified as significant risk factors for fall injuries. Furthermore, injury severity was also linked to weather factors such as minimum temperature, wind speed, and cloud cover.

Summary: This study evaluated 110,667 patients and found a prevalence of 5.7% of pediatric patients with peripheral nerve injuries. The most common injuries were digital nerves (48.2%), followed by median (14.9%), ulnar (14.6%), radial (8.8%), peroneal nerve (5.2%) and brachial plexus injuries (2.1%). A large proportion of injuries were complete transections, often accompanied by concomitant vessel injuries, highlighting the importance of early surgical exploration. Radial, ulnar, and lower extremity nerve injuries were often associated with fractures. Early surgical nerve repair is key to improve motor and sensory outcomes.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the relationship between the timing of CT acquisition and mortality in severe trauma patients. The study found that delayed CT scan after 60 minutes was associated with increased death on discharge in patients with severe trunk trauma but not in those with severe head trauma.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of SCI-related pain during initial inpatient rehabilitation and explore their relationships with demographic and lesion characteristics. The results showed that SCI-related pain was highly prevalent during inpatient rehabilitation and different factors such as sex, age, and type of injury were associated with the presence of pain.

Summary: This study showed that replacing 1 L IV containers with 500 mL IV containers in trauma patients resulted in a decrease in total crystalloid volume administered and an increase in the proportion of patients receiving less than 2 L of crystalloids, demonstrating the benefits of this simple practice improvement.

Summary: The study revealed that adolescent athletes had the highest rates of cervical spine fractures, dislocations, and SCIWORA. The proportion of football injuries increased each year, and adolescents had the highest percentage of concurrent TBI.
