Traumatismo anorrectal contuso. Reporte de un caso y revisión bibliográfica / Blunt anorectal trauma. Case reportand literature review

Introducción: El traumatismo anorrectal es una causa poco frecuente de consulta al servicio de emergencias, con una incidencia del 1 al 3%. A menudo está asociado a lesiones potencialmente mortales, por esta razón, es fundamental conocer los principios de diagnóstico y tratamiento, así como los protocolos de atención inicial de los pacientes politraumatizados. Método: Reportamos el caso de un paciente masculino de 47 años con trauma anorrectal contuso con compromiso del esfínter anal interno y externo, tratado con reparación primaria del complejo esfinteriano con técnica de overlapping, rafia de la mucosa, submucosa y muscular del recto. A los 12 meses presenta buena evolución sin incontinencia anal. Conclusión: El tratamiento del trauma rectal, basado en el dogma de las 4 D (desbridamiento, derivación fecal, drenaje presacro, lavado distal) fue exitoso. La técnica de overlapping para la lesión esfinteriana fue simple y efectiva para la reconstrucción anatómica y funcional. (AU)

Introduction: Anorectal trauma is a rare cause of consultation to the Emergency Department, with an incidence of 1 to 3%. It is often associated with life-threatening injuries, so it is essential to know the principles of diagnosis and treatment, as well as the initial care protocols for the polytrau-matized patient. Methods: We present the case of a 47-year-old man with a blunt anorectal trauma involving the internal and external anal sphincter, treated with primary overlapping repair of the sphincter complex and suturing of the rectal wall. At 12 months the patient presents good outcome, without anal incontinence. Conclusion: The treatment of rectal trauma, based on the 4 D ́s dogma (debridement, fecal diversion, presacral drainage, distal rectal washout lavage) was successful. Repair of the overlapping sphincter injury was simple and effective for anatomical and functional reconstruction. (AU)

Uso de la tomografía corporal total en pacientes con heridas de arma de fuego y hemodinámicamente inestables: ¿Rompiendo paradigmas de atención inicial? / Whole-body computed tomography in hemodynamically unstable patients with gunshot wounds: A paradigm shift in trauma management?

Introducción. El objetivo del estudio fue analizar el impacto del uso de la tomografía corporal total en la evaluación de los pacientes con trauma penetrante por proyectil de arma de fuego y hemodinámicamente inestables atendidos en un centro de referencia de trauma. Métodos. Se realizó un estudio analítico, retrospectivo, con base en un subanálisis del registro de la Sociedad Panamericana de Trauma ­ Fundación Valle del Lili. Se incluyeron los pacientes con trauma penetrante por proyectil de arma de fuego atendidos entre 2018 y 2021. Se excluyeron los pacientes con trauma craneoencefálico severo, trauma leve y en condición in extremis. Resultados. Doscientos pacientes cumplieron los criterios de elegibilidad, 115 fueron estudiados con tomografía corporal total y se compararon con 85 controles. La mortalidad intrahospitalaria en el grupo de tomografía fue de 4/115 (3,5 %) vs 10/85 (12 %) en el grupo control. En el análisis multivariado se identificó que la tomografía no tenía asociación significativa con la mortalidad (aOR=0,46; IC95% 0,10-1,94). El grupo de tomografía tuvo una reducción relativa del 39 % en la frecuencia de cirugías mayores, con un efecto asociado en la disminución de la necesidad de cirugía (aOR=0,47; IC95% 0,22-0,98). Conclusiones. La tomografía corporal total fue empleada en el abordaje inicial de los pacientes con trauma penetrante por proyectil de arma de fuego y hemodinámicamente inestables. Su uso no se asoció con una mayor mortalidad, pero sí con una menor frecuencia de cirugías mayores.

Introduction. This study aims to assess the impact of whole-body computed tomography (WBCT) in the evaluation of patients with penetrating gunshot wounds (GSW) who are hemodynamically unstable and treated at a trauma referral center. Methods. An analytical, retrospective study was conducted based on a subanalysis of the Panamerican Trauma Society-FVL registry. Patients with GSW treated between 2018 and 2021 were included. Patients with severe cranioencephalic trauma, minor trauma, and those in extremis were excluded. Patients with and without WBCT were compared. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality, and the secondary outcome was the frequency of major surgeries (thoracotomy, sternotomy, cervicotomy, and/or laparotomy) during initial care. Results. Two hundred eligible patients were included, with 115 undergoing WBCT and compared to 85 controls. In-hospital mortality in the WBCT group was 4/115 (3.5%) compared to 10/85 (12%) in the control group. Multivariate analysis showed that WBCT was not significantly associated to mortality (aOR: 0.46; 95% CI 0.10-1.94). The WBCT group had a relative reduction of 39% in the frequency of major surgeries, with an associated effect on reducing the need for surgery (aOR: 0.47; 95% CI 0.22-0.98). Conclusions. Whole-body computed tomography was employed in the initial management of patients with penetrating firearm projectile injuries and hemodynamic instability. The use of WBCT was not associated with mortality but rather with a reduction in the frequency of major surgery.

Prévalence et facteurs prédicteurs des troubles post-traumatiques chez les accidentés de la voie publique / Prevalence and predictors of post-traumatic stress disorder in road traffic accidents

Introduction: les troubles post-traumatiques survenant à la suite d'un accident de la route ont un impact tant sanitaire qu'économique. Méthodes: notre étude prospective, vise à déterminer la prévalence de ces troubles, et de dégager leurs facteurs de risque auprès de sujets victimes d'accidents de la route et hospitalisés au service de chirurgie orthopédique et de traumatologie du Centre Hospitalo-Universitaire de Sfax-Tunisie. Résultats: soixante-dix sujets ont été inclus dans notre étude. La prévalence de l'état de stress aigu était de 37,1% et il a été associé au sexe féminin, au niveau scolaire bas, à la présence d'antécédents médicochirurgicaux, à la passivité au cours de l'accident, à la sévérité des lésions, et à la présence d'une symptomatologie anxieuse et dépressive. Le trouble stress post traumatique était constaté chez 40% des sujets et il a été associé au milieu de résidence urbain, à la passivité au cours de l'accident, et à la symptomatologie anxieuse et dépressive. Des scores faibles des stratégies de coping fonctionnelles et des scores élevés des stratégies de coping dysfonctionnelles ont été significativement associés à ces deux troubles. Le niveau scolaire bas, la résidence en milieu urbain, un niveau élevé d'anxiété et de dépression et la stratégie de coping de déni apparaissent comme des facteurs de risque indépendants de l'état de stress aigu et du trouble stress post traumatique. Conclusion: il s'avère ainsi important de déterminer un profil de personnes plus exposées aux troubles post-traumatique afin de permettre un dépistage précoce par les médecins avec lesquels les accidentés pourraient avoir des contacts dans les suites de leurs accidents.

ntroduction: Post-traumatic stress disorder following a road accident has both a health and an economic impact. Methods: we conducted a prospective study to determine the prevalence of this disorder, and to identify risk factors in subjects victims of road accidents and hospitalized in the Department of Orthopedic Surgery and Traumatology of the University Hospital Center of Sfax-Tunisia. Results: a total of sixty-ten subjects were included in this study. The prevalence of acute stress was 37.1% and was associated with female sex, low educational level, previous medical and surgical history, passivity during the accident, severity of injuries and the presence of anxious and depressive symptoms. Post-traumatic stress disorder was observed in 40% of subjects and was associated with urban residential environment, passivity during the accident and anxious and depressive symptoms. Low scores for functional coping strategies and high scores for dysfunctional coping strategies were significantly associated with both disorders. Low educational level, urban residential environment, high levels of anxiety and depression, and denial coping strategy appear to be independent risk factors for acute stress and post-traumatic stress disorder. Conclusion: It is therefore important to determine the profile of people at greater risk of post-traumatic stress disorder, to enable early diagnosis in victims of road accidents.

Research on the dynamic changes of neurological dysfunction and cognitive function impairment in traumatic brain injury / 解剖学报

Objective To explore the dynamic changes and mechanisms of neurological and cognitive functions in mice with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Methods Totally 60 12⁃month⁃old Balb/ c mice were divided into control group (10 in group) and TBI group (50 in group). TBT model mice were divided into 5 subgroups according to the time of model construction, including model 1 day, model 1 day, model 3 day, model 7 day, model 14 days and model 28 days group with 10 in each group. At the 29th day of the experiment, neurological scores and step down tests were carried out. After the test, the mice were sacrificed for brains which were detected by immunohistochemistry staining, inflammatory cytokine tests and Western blotting. Results Compared with the control group, the neurological scores of mice in TBI group increased, and then decreased after the 7th day when the scores reached the peak. However, the latency of step down errors was lower than control group, and the number of step down errors was higher than control group which had no changes. Compared with the control group, the expression of lonized calcium⁃binding adapter molecule 1(IBA1), chemokine C⁃X3⁃C⁃motif ligand1 (CX3CL1), C⁃X3⁃C chemokine receptor 1(CX3CR1), NOD⁃like receptor thermal protein domain associated protein 3 (NLRP3), and phosphorylation nuclear factor(p⁃NF)⁃κB in TBI group increased and reached to the peak at the 7th day, and then started to decrease. At the same time, the levels of inflammatory cytokines interleukin⁃6(IL⁃6) and tumor necrosis factor⁃α(TNF⁃α) first increased to the peak, and then began to decrease. However, compared with the control group, the expression of amyloid β(Aβ) protein and p⁃Tau protein in the model group continued to increase at all time. Conclusion The TBI model caused continuous activation of microglia along with inflammatory response, which first increased and then decreased, resultsing in neurological scores changes. In addition, the inflammatory response may act as a promoter of Aβ protein deposition and Tau protein phosphorylation, leading to cognitive impairment in mice.

Functional near infrared imaging of college students on speech fluency tasks in traumatized / 中国学校卫生

Objective@#The study aims to explore the neural mechanism of cognitive differences in college students with posttraumatic stress disorder under verbal fluency task based on functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS), so as to provide neuroimaging support for the evaluation, diagnosis and treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD).@*Methods@#Posttaumatic Stress Disorder Checklist Combat(PCL-C) was used to screen the subjects, including 21 students in PTSD group (PCL-C≥38) and 30 students in control group from September to Novenber in 2020. A 53 channel near infrared spectroscopy device was used to collect cerebral blood oxygen signals under the verbal fluency task, and correlation analysis, Mann Whitney U test and independent sample t test were performed on the results.@*Results@#The difference in the total average score of PCL-C Scale between PTSD group and the control group(46.38±6.96，25.57±6.09) was statistically significant ( t=11.33, P <0.05). Correlation analysis showed that Avg-HbO in left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe was negatively correlated with PCL-C Score ( r=-0.37, P <0.05). Mann Whitney U test showed that in the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe (Ch6), the Avg-HbO change in PTSD group [0.19(-0.09, 0.86)mmol/(L〖KG*7〗·mm)] was significantly lower than the control group [0.79( 0.37 , 1.47)mmol/(L ·mm)] ( Z=2.16, P <0.05), which was statistically significant.@*Conclusions@#The degree of PTSD was negatively correlated with the index of oxygenated hemoglobin in the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe, and the oxygenated hemoglobin content in the PTSD group was lower than that in the normal group. In the future, fNIRS may be used to collect blood oxygen signals from the left dorsolateral prefrontal lobe in cognitive tasks to provide imaging evidence for the identification of PTSD.

Traumatic lumbar hernia: A systematic review of the literature / 中华创伤杂志(英文版)

PURPOSE@#Traumatic lumbar hernia (TLH) constitutes a protrusion of content through a defect in the posterior abdominal wall, as a result of injury. This rare entity has been described in limited number of cases.@*METHODS@#A systematic review of the literature was performed according to the meta-analysis of observational studies in epidemiology guidelines. The English literature from 1990 until 2021 was reviewed, using PubMed, EMBASE and Google Scholar bibliographic databases, to identify case reports and case series with patients that were diagnosed with TLH. For each eligible study, demographics, clinical presentation, hernia characteristics, preoperative imaging investigations, operation details, and postoperative data were extracted for assessment. Statistical analysis was performed on SPSS, version 20.0.@*RESULTS@#A total of 62 studies were included for review, with 164 patients with TLH. Mean age was (42.6 ± 14.3) years (47.6% males, 31.1% females, gender not specified in 35 cases). Mean diameter of hernia neck was (6.3 ± 3.1) cm, while the triangles of Petit and Grynfeltt were affected in 74.5% and 14.6%, respectively. Patients diagnosed in the emergency setting account for 54.2%, with CT scan establishing diagnosis in all but one case (97.7%). A delayed diagnosis was made in 45.8%, at a mean 1 year following trauma. Flank bulging (82.8%) and chronic back pain (34.3%) were the most frequent symptoms. In both delayed and acute group, open surgery (63.6% and 92.3%, respectively) was the preferred surgical approach. Postoperative complications were reported in 11.4% of acute and 15.0% of delayed patients. Hernia recurrence was 7%.@*CONCLUSIONS@#TLH is uncommon with 164 cases described since 1990. CT scan is the gold standard in diagnosis. Open surgery is generally the preferred approach, particularly in the emergency setting. Acute TLH can be treated either by primary suture repair or mesh, depending on the local conditions, whereas delayed cases usually require a mesh.

Retrospective clinical study of hip replacement in the treatment of traumatic arthritis secondary to acetabular fracture / 中国骨伤

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the clinical effect of total hip replacement (THA) in the treatment of traumatic arthritis secondary to acetabular fracture.@*METHODS@#From October 2019 to June 2022, 15 patients with secondary traumatic arthritis of acetabulum fracture were treated with THA. There were 8 males and 7 females, aged from 40 to 76 years old with an average of (59.20±9.46) years old. Prosthesis loosening, dislocation of hip joint, range of motion of hip joint, nerve injury and other conditions were recorded before and after surgery. Harris score, visual analogue scale (VAS) and imaging were used to evaluate hip joint function and surgical effect.@*RESULTS@#Follow-up time ranged 6 to 39 months with an average of (18.33±9.27) months. All the 15 patients successfully completed the operation, no nerve and blood vessel injury during the operation, postoperative wound healing was stageⅠ, no infection, one case of acetabular side prosthesis loosening at half a year after operation, and recovered well after revision surgery, one case of hip dislocation was cured after open reduction treatment, no adverse consequences. Harris score at the last postoperative follow-up was (88.60±4.01) points, compared with the preoperative (47.20±11.77) points, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and VAS at the lateat postoperative follow-up was 1 (1) points, compared with the preoperative 8 (2) points, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). At the last follow-up, the pain symptoms were relieved or disappeared, and the joint function was satisfactory. The imaging data of the latest follow-up showed joint was well pseudoradiated, no abnormal ossification occurred, and the prosthesis was not loose.@*CONCLUSION@#THA is effective in the treatment of traumatic arthritis secondary to acetabular fracture and can effectively improve the quality of life of patients. Preoperative comprehensive evaluation and bone defect evaluation of patients, and intraoperative management of acetabulum, femur, internal fixation and bone defect are key factors for the success of surgery.

Research progress on mechanism of traumatic brain injury promoting fracture healing / 中国修复重建外科杂志

OBJECTIVE@#To summarize the research progress on the mechanism related to traumatic brain injury (TBI) to promote fracture healing, and to provide theoretical basis for clinical treatment of fracture non-union.@*METHODS@#The research literature on TBI to promote fracture healing at home and abroad was reviewed, the role of TBI in fracture healing was summarized from three aspects of nerves, body fluids, and immunity, to explore new ideas for the treatment of fracture non-union.@*RESULTS@#Numerous studies have shown that fracture healing is faster in patients with fracture combined with TBI than in patients with simple fracture. It is found that the expression of various cytokines and hormones in the body fluids of patients with fracture and TBI is significantly higher than that of patients with simple fracture, and the neurofactors released by the nervous system reaches the fracture site through the damaged blood-brain barrier, and the chemotaxis and aggregation of inflammatory cells and inflammatory factors at the fracture end of patients with combined TBI also differs significantly from those of patients with simple fracture. A complex network of humoral, neural, and immunomodulatory networks together promote regeneration of blood vessels at the fracture site, osteoblasts differentiation, and inhibition of osteoclasts activity.@*CONCLUSION@#TBI promotes fracture healing through a complex network of neural, humoral, and immunomodulatory, and can treat fracture non-union by intervening in the perifracture microenvironment.

Experiences of women with physical disabilities in labor and delivery assistance / Experiencias de mujeres con discapacidad física en la asistencia durante el trabajo de parto y parto / Vivências de mulheres com deficiência física na assistência ao trabalho de parto e parto

ABSTRACT Objective: To understand the meaning attributed by women with physical disabilities to the health care received and expected during labor and delivery. Methods: Qualitative study, based on Social Network Theory, conducted through an online workshop in April 2022, with the participation of six women with physical disabilities. Data, collected through the focus group technique, underwent thematic content analysis with the assistance of the IRaMuTeQ tool. Results: Three thematic categories emerged: Challenges experienced during pregnancy; The experience within the maternity ward; and, The importance of social networks. The assistance provided by healthcare professionals sometimes differed between what was expected and what was received by women with physical disabilities during labor and delivery. Final Considerations: Experiences were predominantly negative, resulting from inappropriate professional conduct due to ableist attitudes. Support from members of social networks is crucial for preventing stressors.

Trauma e literalidade: a razão psicodinâmica no espírito da traumatização neurocientífica / Trauma and literality: psychodynamic reason in the spirit of neuroscientific traumatization

Resumo Desde o seu nascimento na medicina cirúrgica do século XVII, a pesquisa do trauma admitiu interpretações múltiplas e associadas ora às lesões visíveis de órgãos e tecidos, ora à influência de agentes psíquicos patogênicos sobre a memória, a consciência e a personalidade. Com o aprofundamento do papel dos sistemas classificatórios desde DSM-III, o fenômeno do trauma será incorporado ao prisma psiquiátrico através do Transtorno de Estresse Pós-Traumático e destinado, finalmente, à circunscrição da pesquisa neurocientífica. A partir de revisão narrativa, este artigo abordará uma das premissas epistemológicas fundamentais para essa transição, que informa como o trauma psicológico ganhou autonomia sobre as descrições anatômicas para ser, cerca de um século depois, por ela reanexado enquanto fenômeno essencialmente corporal e aderido à gramática das neurociências.

Abstract Since its origin in the surgical medicine of the 17th century, trauma research has had multiple interpretations and has been associated either with visible injuries to organs and tissues, or with the influence of pathogenic psychic agents on memory, consciousness and personality. With the intensification of the role of classification systems since DSM-III, the phenomenon of trauma came to be incorporated into the psychiatric realm through Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and destined finally to the constraints of neuroscientific research. Based on a narrative review, this article will address one of the fundamental epistemological premises for this transition, which informs how psychological trauma gained autonomy over anatomical descriptions to be reclassified, around a century later, as an essentially bodily phenomenon and incorporated into the jargon of neurosciences.

Dor neuropática: sentimentos e vivências de pacientes após lesões traumáticas / Neuropathic pain: feelings and experiences of patients after traumatic injuries / Dolor neuropático: sentimientos y experiencias de pacientes después lesiones traumáticas

Objetivo: Compreender o cotidiano de portadores de dor neuropática decorrente de lesão traumática. Metodologia: Pesquisa exploratória, descritiva, de abordagem qualitativa, com participantes selecionados por meio de mídias sociais. A coleta de dados foi realizada entre o período de julho a setembro de 2022, com indivíduos adultos que possuem diagnóstico de dor neuropática após lesão traumática. A coleta ocorreu por meio de um formulário online, utilizando um questionário sociodemográfico e um questionário aberto, para a captura de informações pertinentes sobre seu caso clínico e vivência com a dor crônica. Os dados foram analisados por meio de Bardin. Todos os preceitos éticos foram respeitados e o projeto foi aprovado sob parecer n.º 5.529.581 da Universidade Cesumar. Resultados: Participaram 15 pessoas com dor neuropática, com prevalência do sexo feminino (93,3%), com idade entre 41 a 50 anos (66,7%). Observou-se que 53,3% relataram comorbidades crônicas, sendo as doenças psíquicas, ansiolíticas e cardíacas mais citadas. Ainda, 33,3% dos participantes relataram que foram internados por causas de dores ou por tentativa de suicídio, 93,3% usam opióides e analgésicos potentes e ainda foram citados antidepressivos e ansiolíticos em 62% das respostas. Dentre os temas em destaque nas respostas, sobressaíram-se "Contexto e diagnóstico da dor neuropática; Vivência e frequência da dor; Apoio profissional e familiar diante da doença". Considerações Finais: Nesse sentido, a percepção acerca dos profissionais de saúde e valorização do médico para o tratamento da dor neuropática está relacionada, muitas vezes, à necessidade de aumentar o conhecimento referente ao manejo da dor e à utilização de opióides.

Objective: To understand the daily life of patients with neuropathic pain resulting from traumatic injury. Methodology: Exploratory, descriptive research, with a qualitative approach, with participants selected through social media. Data collection was carried out between July and September 2022, with adult individuals diagnosed with neuropathic pain after traumatic injury. The collection took place through an online form, using a sociodemographic questionnaire and an open questionnaire, to capture relevant information about their clinical case and experience with chronic pain. Data were analyzed using Bardin. All ethical precepts were respected and the project was approved by report n.º 5,529,581 of Cesumar University. Results: 15 people with neuropathic pain participated, with a prevalence of females (93.3%), aged between 41 and 50 years (66.7%). It was observed that 53.3% reported chronic comorbidities, with psychic, anxiolytic and cardiac diseases being the most cited. Also, 33.3% of the participants reported that they were hospitalized due to pain or a suicide attempt, 93.3% used opioids and potent analgesics, and antidepressants and anxiolytics were mentioned in 62% of the answers. Among the topics highlighted in the responses, the most important were "Context and diagnosis of neuropathic pain; Experience and frequency of pain; Professional and family support in the face of the disease". Final Considerations: In this sense, the perception of health professionals and the appreciation of physicians for the treatment of neuropathic pain is often related to the need to increase knowledge regarding pain management and the use of opioids.

Características del trauma ocular en pacientes diagnosticados con catarata traumática

Objetivo: Determinar las características del trauma ocular en pacientes diagnosticados con catarata traumática. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio observacional descriptivo de corte transversal con 335 pacientes diagnosticados con catarata traumática. Las variables incluyeron edad, sexo, ojo afectado, lugar de ocurrencia del trauma, uso de protección en el entorno laboral, tipo de trauma ocular, daños asociados, morfología de la catarata y zona de lesión. Resultados: La edad promedio de los pacientes fue de 52,2 ± 14,8 años. Se observó un predominio del sexo masculino (75,5 %) y la mayoría de los casos presentaron un trauma ocular cerrado (70,4 %). El ojo derecho fue más afectado (64,8 %). En cuanto al lugar de ocurrencia del traumatismo ocular, el 49,9 % de los casos se produjo en el contexto laboral, y la mayoría de los pacientes que experimentaron un trauma ocular abierto no utilizaban protección ocular. Las lesiones asociadas más comunes fueron el aumento de la presión intraocular, la ruptura de la cápsula y las sinequias, la diálisis del iris. En cuanto a la morfología de las cataratas, se observó que predominaba la opacidad total. Conclusiones: Este estudio subraya la importancia de estrategias preventivas, especialmente en entornos laborales propensos a lesiones oculares. La falta de protección ocular en casos de trauma ocular abierto enfatiza la necesidad de concienciar a la población sobre la importancia de medidas de seguridad adecuadas. Estos hallazgos pueden guiar intervenciones clínicas y políticas de salud pública para reducir la incidencia y las secuelas de la catarata traumática.

Objective: Determine the characteristics of ocular trauma in patients diagnosed with traumatic cataract. Methods: A cross-sectional descriptive observational study was carried out with 335 patients diagnosed with traumatic cataract. The variables included age, sex, affected eye, location of trauma occurrence, use of protection in the work environment, type of ocular trauma, associated damage, cataract morphology and area of injury. Results: The average age of the patients was 52.2 ± 14.8 years. A predominance of males was observed (75.5%) and the majority of cases presented blunt ocular trauma (70.4%). The right eye was more affected (64.8%). Regarding the place of occurrence of ocular trauma, 49.9% of cases occurred in the work context, and the majority of patients who experienced open ocular trauma did not use eye protection. The most common associated injuries were increased intraocular pressure, capsule rupture and synechiae, iris dialysis. Regarding the morphology of the cataracts, it was observed that total opacity predominated. Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of preventive strategies, especially in work environments prone to eye injuries. The lack of eye protection in cases of open eye trauma emphasizes the need to raise public awareness about the importance of adequate safety measures. These findings may guide clinical interventions and public health policies to reduce the incidence and sequelae of traumatic cataract.

Traumatic Experiences and Psychopathological symptoms in Prison Population and General Population

Traumatic events are stressful episodes that exceed an individual's coping resources and have been related to physical and mental health problems, particularly posttraumatic stress disorder. This study aims to compare the prison population and the general population in terms of trauma and psychopathological symptoms derived from exposure to traumatic events in the context of Ecuador. It is a descriptive-comparative and cross-sectional study. The study sample consisted of 99 incarcerated individuals and 84 persons from the general population of Ambato-Ecuador. The results indicate that persons from the prison population have experienced multiple traumas and re-victimization to a greater extent and present a higher percentage of PTSD and psychopathological symptoms than the general population. In that sense, it is a population that requires more significant intervention to reduce symptoms and prevent violent behavior.

Los eventos traumáticos son hechos estresantes que exceden los recursos de afrontamiento de un individuo y han sido relacionados con problemas de salud física y mental, particularmente con el trastorno de estrés postraumàtico. El objetivo de este estudio es comparar las experiencias traumáticas y los síntomas psicopatológicos entre la población penitenciaria y la población general. Es un estudio descriptivo-comparativo de corte transversal. La muestra del estudio estuvo conformada por 99 individuos encarcelados y 84 individuos de la población general de Ambato (Ecuador). Los resultados indican que los participantes de la población penitenciaria han experimentado en mayor medida múltiples traumas y revictimización; presentan un mayor número de síntomas psicopatológicos y un porcentaje más elevado de TEPT que la población general. Las diferencias que se presentan entre la población penitenciaria y la población general pueden deberse a que las personas encarceladas son más vulnerables a estar expuestas a eventos potencialmente traumáticos por su propia situación social. La población penitenciaria requiere una mayor intervención para reducir los síntomas psicopatológicos provocados por el trauma.

Vulnerabilidad del adulto mayor con lesión cervical traumática

Fundamento: los adultos mayores sufren caídas que producen complicaciones traumáticas, dentro de estas se encuentra el trauma raquimedular que produce una alta tasa de discapacidad y mortalidad. Objetivo: exponer factores pronósticos que repercuten en el adulto mayor con lesión espinal cervical traumática. Métodos: se realizó un estudio de corte transversal sobre 42 pacientes geriátricos diagnosticados con trauma raquimedular cervical atendidos en Camagüey, desde 2019 hasta el 2022. Se analizaron las variables siguientes: datos demográficos, tipo de accidente, nivel de la lesión, complicaciones médicas, terapia utilizada y como variable dependiente la mortalidad. Resultados: se observó un predominio de los pacientes entre 60 a 74 años. El análisis estadístico sobre las probabilidades de fallecer mostró que ante un evento cervical traumático los pacientes con ventilación mecánica asistida, complicaciones médicas, nivel de severidad de la lesión (ASIA A o B) que sufrieron un accidente de tránsito tuvieron mayor riesgo de morir que los que no se encontraban en estos grupos. El nivel de dependencia social del grupo estuvo entre moderado y severo. Conclusiones: el envejecimiento poblacional requiere del desarrollo de terapias especializadas, donde se tomen en cuenta las características morfofisiológicas de este grupo que permitirá mejor recuperación funcional y una calidad de vida adecuada.

Foundation older adults suffer falls that produce traumatic complications, among which is spinal cord trauma with a high rate of disability and mortality. Objective to set out the prognostic factors that affect the elderly with traumatic cervical spinal injury. Methods: a cross-sectional study was carried out with 42 geriatric patients diagnosed with spinal cord trauma treated in Camagüey, from 2019 to 2022. The research consisted of a stage for the collection of demographic data, the type of accident, the level of injury, medical complications, the therapy used and another where the statistical processing was carried out where the mortality variable was considered as dependent. Results: a predominance of patients between 60 and 74 years of age was observed. The statistical analysis on the probabilities of dying showed that in a traumatic cervical event, patients with assisted mechanical ventilation, medical complications, injury severity level (ASIA A or B) who suffered a traffic accident had a higher risk of dying than those who were not in these groups. The level of social dependence of the group was between moderate and severe. Conclusions: population aging requires the development of specialized therapies, where the morphophysiological characteristics of this group are taken into account, which will allow better functional recovery and an adequate quality of life.

Adaptación transcultural del instrumento Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool en Colombia / Cross-Cultural adaptation of the Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool in Colombia / Adaptação transcultural do instrumento Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool na Colômbia

La hospitalización de una persona en unidad de cuidados intensivos (UCI) puede generar alteraciones mentales y físicas post internación; en Colombia existen pocas investigaciones para la detección anticipada de morbilidad psicológica en UCI. Este estudio busca generar una versión al español equivalente al instrumento Intensive Care Psychological Assessment Tool (IPAT). Se realizó una traducción directa e inversa del instrumento, previa autorización de los autores se incluyó participación de profesionales lingüistas en las traducciones. Se aplicaron entrevistas a personas de diferentes perfiles sociodemográficos hospitalizadas en UCI, para verificar la adecuación cultural y comparación de la versión colombiana con la versión original. Se encontraron que los ítems 1, 2, 3, 4 y 5 presentaron comprensibilidad del 100%, los restantes ítems 6, 7, 8 y 9 comprensibilidad del 97,5% y el ítem 10 una compresibilidad del 90% que requirió modificaciones. Las medidas de soporte vital como la ventilación mecánica, experiencias traumáticas y recuerdos de la hospitalización, han demostrado ser factores para desarrollar: Ansiedad depresión y trastorno de estrés postraumático, se espera que este estudio sea un punto de referencia para nuevas investigaciones basadas en adaptaciones transculturales de enfermería en Latinoamérica respecto a morbilidad psicológica. La versión colombiana del instrumento IPAT derivada por la adaptación transcultural es equivalente a la inglesa. El estudio sirve como inicio de nuevas investigaciones que busquen desarrollar un instrumento en español personalizado y verificado, y que pueda ser utilizado de forma habitual por el personal de enfermería en un futuro próximo.

Hospitalization in the intensive care unit (ICU) can result in mental and physical disturbances post-hospitalization. In Colombia, there is little research exploring the early detection of psychological morbidity in the ICU. This study aimed to develop a version of the Intensive Care Psychology Assessment Tool (IPAT) in Spanish equivalent to the original instrument. Direct and reverse translations of the IPAT instrument were carried out with prior authorization from the authors and the participation of professional linguists. People with different sociodemographic profiles, hospitalized in the ICU, were interviewed to confirm the cultural adequacy of the Colombian version, as well as to compare it with the original version. It was found that items 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 presented 100% comprehensibility, items 6, 7, 8, and 9 had 97.5% comprehensibility, and item 10 had 90% comprehensibility, requiring modifications. Life support measures such as mechanical ventilation, traumatic experiences, and memories of the hospital stay were detected as factors for the development of anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. It is hoped that this study will be a reference point for new research based on cross-cultural adaptations related to psychological morbidity, in the nursing field in Latin America. The Colombian version of the IPAT instrument derived from this cross-cultural adaptation is equivalent to the English one. This study represents a starting point for new research that aims to develop a personalized and validated instrument in Spanish that can be used regularly by nursing staff in the near future.

A internação de uma pessoa na unidade de terapia intensiva (UTI) pode gerar alterações mentais e físicas pós-internação; na Colômbia há poucas pesquisas para a detecção precoce de morbidade psicológica na UTI. Este estudo busca gerar uma versão em espanhol equivalente ao instrumento Intensive Care Psychology Assessment Tool (IPAT). Foi realizada tradução direta e reversa do instrumento IPAT, com autorização prévia dos autores, foi incluída a participação de linguistas profissionais nas traduções. Serão aplicadas entrevistas com pessoas de diferentes perfis sociodemográficos internadas na UTI, para verificar a adequação cultural e comparação da versão colombiana com a versão original. Verificou-se que os itens 1, 2, 3, 4 e 5 apresentaram 100% de compreensibilidade, os demais itens 6, 7, 8 e 9 tiveram 97,5% de compreensibilidade e o item 10 teve 90% de compreensibilidade que necessitou de modificações. Medidas de suporte à vida, como ventilação mecânica, experiências traumáticas e memórias de hospitalização, demonstraram ser fatores no desenvolvimento de: ansiedade, depressão e transtorno de estresse pós-traumático, espera-se que este estudo seja um ponto de referência para novas pesquisas baseadas em estudos cruzados de adaptações culturais da enfermagem na América Latina em relação à morbidade psicológica. A versão colombiana do instrumento IPAT derivada da adaptação transcultural é equivalente à inglesa. O estudo serve como início de novas pesquisas que buscam desenvolver um instrumento personalizado e verificado em espanhol, e que possa ser utilizado regularmente pela equipe de enfermagem em um futuro próximo.

Clinical-epidemiological profile of traumatic brain injury associated with traffic accidents in southeastern Pará, in the Brazilian Amazon / Perfil clínico-epidemiológico de traumatismos cranioencefálicos associados a acidentes de trânsito no Sudeste do Pará, na Amazônia brasileira

Introduction: In Brazil, traumatic brain injury (TBI) represents about two thirds of all causes of death and are often associated with traffic accidents, causing overload of medium and high complexity services. Objectives:To describe the occurrence and clinical-epidemiological profile of TBIs associated with traffic accidents in a regional hospital in the southeast of the state of Pará. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study. It was based on data from the medical and statistical archives service of a regional hospital, through the analysis of electronic medical records of patients treated with TBI resulting from traffic accidents in the period from 2016 to 2020. Results: Of the 20,077 overall hospitalizations recorded, 4.0% were associated with the occurrence of TBI, of which, 75.3% were directly caused by traffic accidents involving motorcycles. The cases were concentrated in individuals of mixed race, male, aged between 18 and 29 years, with percentages of 92.5%, 86% and 39%, respectively. Conclusions: The occurrence of TBIs associated with automobile accidents is a problem that requires attention in the region. Moreover, there were several gaps in the completion of the medical records, which made it difficult to determine the association of the outcome, alcohol consumption and the use of PPE. However, considering all the information presented, assertive local public policies aimed at prevention can be implemented. And this can be the starting point for promoting changes aimed at mitigating traffic accidents and bed occupations due to preventable causes, impacting the quality of health care and economic factors (AU).

Introdução: No Brasil, os traumatismos cranioencefálicos (TCEs) representam cerca dois terços de todas as causas de óbitos e são frequentemente associados a acidentes de trânsito, causando sobrecarga dos serviços de média e alta complexidade. Objetivos: Descrever a ocorrência e o perfil clínico-epidemiológico de TCEs associados a acidentes de trânsito em um hospital regional no Sudeste do Estado do Pará. Materiais e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo analítico de corte transversal. Baseou-se em dados provenientes do serviço de arquivos médicos e estatísticos de um hospital regional, através da análise de prontuários eletrônicos de pacientes diagnosticados com TCE decorrentes de acidentes de trânsito no período de 2016 a 2020. Resultados: Das 20.077 internações gerais re-gistradas, 4,0% foram associadas à ocorrência de TCE, das quais 75,3% foram diretamente causados por acidentes de trânsito envolvendo motocicletas. Os casos se concentraram em indivíduos pardos, do sexo masculino, com faixa etária entre 18 e 29 anos, com percentuais de 92,5%, 86% e 39%, respectivamente. Conclusões: A ocorrência de TCEs associados a acidentes automobilísticos é um problema que requer atenção na região. Além disso, verificou-se várias lacunas no preenchimento dos prontuários, o que dificultou a determinação da associação do desfecho, o consumo de álcool e a utilização dos EPIs. No entanto, considerando todas as informações apresentadas, políticas públicas assertivas locais que visem a prevenção podem ser implementadas. E esse pode ser o ponto de partida para promover mudanças que visem mitigação dos acidentes de trânsito e ocupações de leitos por causas evitáveis, impactando na qualidade da assistência em saúde e fatores econômicos (AU).

Seeking treatment for traumatic dental injuries in schoolchildren: A multilevel analysis

ABSTRACT To investigate individual and contextual factors associated with seeking treatment for traumatic dental injuries. A cross-sectional study was conducted with 739 pairs of guardians and children. Guardians answered a questionnaire addressing sociodemographic characteristics, seeking treatment for a tooth injury in the child, and the Oral Health Literacy-Adult Questionnaire. Descriptive analysis and unadjusted and adjusted multilevel Poisson regression analysis (p<0.05). The prevalence of seeking treatment for traumatic dental injury was 44.7%. Sociodemographic variables associated were white skin of the child (PR = 1.30; 95% CI: 1.08-1.76), mother's age older than 35 years (PR = 1.70; 95% CI: 1.50-1.90), married parents (PR = 1.93; 95% CI: 1.70-2.23), guardians with more than eight years of schooling (PR = 2.00; 95% CI: 1.76-2.23), with adequate oral health literacy (PR = 3.33; 95% CI: 3.01-3.62) and the daily use of electronic devices by the child (PR = 1.26; 95% CI: 1.02-1.50). On the contextual level, attending a private school (PR = 1.77; 95% CI: 1.02-3.05) and the number of primary care units with oral health teams in the school district (PR = 1.78; 95% CI: 1.12-2.38) remained associated. Among the children who suffered TDI, adequate oral health literacy on the part of the parents stood out among the factors associated with seeking treatment.

Resumo Investigar fatores individuais e contextuais associados à busca de tratamento para lesões dentárias traumáticas. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com 739 pares de responsáveis e crianças. Os responsáveis responderam a um questionário abordando características sociodemográficas, busca por tratamento para traumatismo dentário na criança e o Questionário de alfabetização em saúde bucal para adulto. Análise descritiva e análise de regressão de Poisson multinível não ajustada e ajustada (p<0,05) foram realizadas. A prevalência de busca de tratamento para lesão dentária traumática foi de 44,7%. As variáveis sociodemográficas associadas foram a pele branca da criança (RP = 1,30; IC 95%: 1,08-1,76), idade da mãe maior que 35 anos (RP = 1,70; IC 95%: 1,50-1,90), os responsáveis casados (RP = 1,93; IC 95%: 1,70-2,23), com mais de oito anos de estudo (RP = 2,00; IC 95%: 1,76-2,23), com alfabetização adequada em saúde bucal (RP = 2,00; IC 95%: 1,76-2,23) e uso diário de dispositivos eletrônicos pela criança (RP = 1,26; IC 95%: 1,02-1,50). No nível contextual, frequentar uma escola particular (PR = 1,77; IC 95%: 1,02-3,05) e a quantidade de unidades básicas de saúde com equipes de saúde bucal no distrito sanitário da escola (PR = 1,78; IC 95%: 1,12-2,38) permaneceram associados. Entre as crianças que sofreram TDI, a alfabetização em saúde bucal adequada dos pais foi um fator que se destacou na busca por tratamento.

Epithelial ingrowth under LASIK flaps: tips and tricks for preventing recurrence!

Background: LASIK for refractive error correction has become a universal surgery. Despite its popularity, the estimated prevalence of traumatic flap dislocations in post?LASIK patients is 3.9%, and it is sometimes associated with epithelial ingrowth. The prognosis in such cases depends on the rapid surgical revision of the flap with the removal of the EI and perioperative steps to prevent Epithelial ingrowth (EI) recurrence in the future. Purpose: The video aims to display the steps involved in revising the flap, removing EI, and tips to prevent its recurrence. Synopsis: A 33?year?old post? LASIK patient presented with decreased vision, photophobia, and glare during the COVID pandemic in the right eye for 2 months. The best?corrected visual acuity was reduced to 6/60. The anterior segment revealed traumatic flap dislocation along with macro fold temporally and epithelial ingrowth. She underwent a successful flap revision surgery with no recurrence of epithelial ingrowth postoperatively. Highlights: A successful revision of a 2?month? old traumatic folded flap was performed along with the complete removal of EI. It explains the step?by?step approach to avoid the recurrence of EI in each step of the surgical revision of the flap. The video is self?explanatory and guides novice surgeons too

Desgarro agudo del esfínter anal postparto con reparación inmediata / Immediate repair of acute postpartum anal sphincter tear: case report

Las lesiones obstétricas del esfínter anal pueden ocurrir durante el parto vaginal espontáneamente o secundariamente a la episiotomía. Su riesgo se estima en un 26% y son la causa más frecuente de incontinencia anal en mujeres jóvenes. Las lesiones de grado 4 de Sultan, también llamadas cloaca traumática, implican la ruptura completa del esfínter y la comunicación de la cavidad vaginal con el canal anal. La reparación es siempre quirúrgica, para lo que se han descrito diferentes técnicas, aunque ninguna ha demostrado ser superior. Presentamos el caso de una paciente primípara de 23 años con una cloaca traumática posparto. La reparación quirúrgica se realizó de inmediato con una técnica de overlapping. El postoperatorio fue sin complicaciones y al año presenta continencia anal completa. (AU)

Obstetric anal sphincter injuries can occur spontaneously or as a consequence of an episiotomy during vaginal delivery. Their risk is estimated at 26% and they are the most frequent cause of anal incontinence in young women. Sultan grade 4 injuries, also called traumatic cloaca, involve complete rupture of the sphincter and communication of the vaginal cavity with the anal canal. The repair is always surgical, for which different techniques have been described, although none have proven to be superior. We present the case of a 23-year-old primiparous patient with a postpartum traumatic cloaca. Surgical repair was performed immediately with an overlapping technique. The postoperative period was without complications and one year later she presents complete anal continence. (AU)
