Intracerebral temperature monitoring in severely head injured patients

Summary In a series of 6 severely head injured patients, intraventricular as well as rectal, bladder and jugular vein temperature is recorded. The relationship between these temperatures in different conditions is evaluated. Intracerebral temperature is 0.5±0.2 °C (mean ± SD) higher than bladder temperature except in conditions such as brain death. It is concluded that rectal temperature is not representative and therefore not a good alternative to the measurement of brain temperature. More data on human intracerebral temperature are mandatory as well as prospective studies correlating intracerebral temperature with final outcome in head injury.

Nonepileptic Posttraumatic Seizures

Summary: Purpose: Epileptic posttraumatic seizures (PTSs) are a well-recognized consequence of head injury (HI), but HI and nonepileptic seizures (NESs) have not been related. We describe a significant subset of patients with NESs who had their seizures attributed to HI.
Methods: We reviewed the records of all patients diagnosed with NES at the University of Maryland Medical Center over a 6-year period (1989–1995) and selected patients with seizures attributed to a head injury occurring ≥3 years before the onset of their seizures.
Results: Of 157 patients with video-EEG confirmed NES, 37 (24%) had the onset of their seizures attributed to an HI. Their average age was 34 years (range, 15–56 years); 68% were women. Nonepileptic PTS usually developed within the first year after HI (89%). Convulsive symptoms were present in 54%. Whereas epileptic PTSs characteristically follow severe HI, the majority (78%) of our patients with nonepileptic PTSs sustained only mild HI. Before their HI, 76% of our patients were employed, working in the home, or students, but only 11% could continue those activities after developing nonepileptic PTSs.
Conclusions: Nonepileptic PTSs are frequently mistaken for epileptic PTSs and result in serious disability. The misdiagnosis of nonepileptic PTSs leads to ineffective and inappropriate treatment. Patients with intractable seizures after HIS, articularly mild HIS, should be carefully evaluated for NESs.     

Early and late onset bacteremia have different risk factors in trauma patients

Objective The aim of this study was to identify risk factors and to describe epidemiological patterns for early—(EOB) and late—onset bacteremias (LOB) after trauma.Design A prospective study conducted on 141 consecutive trauma patients.Setting A general intensive care unit (ICU) of a university hospital.Patients All multiple trauma patients admitted to our general intensive care unit (ICU) from December 1990 to May 1992 were prospectively enrolled in the study. The following information was collected for each patient and recorded in a computer database: demography, severity of trauma according to the Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS), severtity of trauma according to the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), presence of pneumothorax, pulmonary contusion, rib fractures, hemothorax, and abdominal trauma, use of mechanical ventilation, and placement of central venous catheters. Bacteremias were defined as EOB when onset occurred within 96 h after trauma, and as LOB when appearing after 96 h from trauma.Results Thirty-seven patients developed bacteremia during their ICU stay (26%): 11 (29.7%) EOB and 26 (70.3%) LOB. Gram-positive cocci were isolated more frequently in EOB than in LOB (x ²=4.1,P=0.04). The risk of EOB was significantly increased by the presence of pulmonary contusion [relative risk (RR) 15.0; confidence interval (CI) 1.99-113.25], pneumonia before the onset of bacteremia (RR 3.56; CI 1.17-10.69), AIS score greater than 32 and an abdominal injury score greater than 9 (RR 3.11; CI 1.02-9.49), while intravascular catheters and mechanical ventilation did not represent risk factors for EOB. LOB had a very different pattern and their risk was significantly increased by exposure to intravascular catheters (RR 4.96; CI 1.23-19.94) and to mechanical ventilation lasting more than 7 days (RR 3.6; CI 1.6-8.1).Conclusions Scoring with the AIS of the abdominal and thoracic trauma at admission to the ICU appears a useful tool for identifying trauma patients at increased risk of EOB. A rigorous policy of catheter placement and maintenance as a means of reducing late bacteremias in trauma patients is essential.     

Population-based study of emergency department admissions and deaths from injuries in Barcelona,Spain: Incidence,causes and severity

The aim of this study was to estimate the incidence of morbidity and mortality due to injuries in the population over the age of 14 years in Barcelona, Spain. Injury distribution according to sex, age, external cause, place of occurrence of the injury and severity was also obtained. A one-year survey was conducted in the emergency departments of the six main hospitals in Barcelona, based on a multistage sampling. Information was collected prospectively in emergency services by specially trained non-staff interviewers. Mortality data were drawn from death certificates. The incidence rate was 74.7 injury cases per 1,000 person-years over 14 years of age, higher in males than in females. Injury rates were highest in the youngest age-group and progressively lower until people over 75 years of age. Main external causes of injury were falls, being struck or caught by objects, and traffic-related injuries. The leading specific causes of injury mortality were traffic injuries, suicides and poisonings. While the overall admission incidence was 3.34 cases per 1,000 inhabitants, the proportion of hospitalized cases was 45.0 per 1,000 injury cases admitted to emergency rooms, higher for females, for traffic injuries and in the elderly population. Ninety-six percent of injury cases had an ISS value of 8 or less, mean ISS being highest for traffic injuries and falls. Injury morbidity and mortality amongst residents of Barcelona follow sex, age and cause of injury patterns which are, overall, comparable to those observed in other industrialized countries, suggesting that similar etiologic factors might be operating in those areas. The results should enable the orientation of injury prevention policies in the urban environment targeted on the young and the elderly population.     

Special issue: Group treatment after child and adolescent sexual abuse: Introduction

This introduction traces the increasing awareness of the prevalence of child sexual abuse over the last 20 years, examines the nature and consequences of such abuse and summarizes current information on the use of group treatment and its evaluation with sexually abused children and adolescents and their parents. Four examples of group treatment with different populations of abused children are described in this issue.     

Role of thermal trauma in experimental oral mucosal Candida infections in rats

A model of candidosis in experimental rats was used to study the role of trauma in the aetiology of oral mucosal infections caused by Candida albicans. Standardised thermal trauma was delivered to the dorsum of the tongue of Sprague-Dawley rats and experimental candidosis was induced. Histologically. the site of trauma was invaded by hyphae earlier and more extensively than in control animals, leading to the conclusion that trauma facilitated the establishment of the C. alhicana infections.     

The Effects of Early Childhood Abuse and the Development of Resiliency

Recently, the number of young children who have suffered from the traumas of abuse and neglect has increased. There are negative cognitive, neurological, and psychological effects from this maltreatment which is described in this article. Interventions which can prevent neglect and abuse and further resiliency in the young victims are discussed. As concerned individuals, we need to advocate for preventive and therapeutic efforts which promote resiliency in maltreated children.     

sCD14、Ang2、CRP与急诊创伤骨折伴多发伤患者病情转归关系探究

目的 探讨可溶性白细胞分化抗原14（soluble cluster of differentiation antigen 14,sCD14）、血管生成素2（angiopoietin 2,Ang2）、C反应蛋白（C-reactive protein,CRP）与急诊创伤骨折伴多发伤患者病情转归的关系及意义。 方法 选取创伤骨折伴多发伤患者324例,根据患者出院时病情转归情况分为良好组（275例）、不良组（49例）,比较2组一般资料、sCD14、Ang2、CRP水平,应用Pearson分析sCD14、Ang2、CRP与损伤严重程度评分（injury severity score,ISS）关系,采用Cox回归分析急诊创伤骨折伴多发伤患者病情转归的相关影响因素,采用受试者工作特征曲线（receiver operating characteristic,ROC）分析sCD14、Ang2、CRP对病情转归预测价值。 结果 不良组ISS评分高于良好组（P＜0.05）;不良组sCD14、Ang2、CRP高于良好组（P＜0.05）;sCD14（r=0.785）、Ang2（r=0.778）、CRP（r=0.842）与ISS评分呈正相关（P＜0.05）;sCD14、Ang2、CRP均是预后相关独立危险因素（P＜0.05）;sCD14、Ang2、CRP预测病情转归的ROC下面积（area under the curve,AUC）依次为0.813、0.757、0.749;挑选出预测敏感度最高（sCD14）、特异度最高（Ang2）的两个指标进行sCD14+Ang2的联合ROC分析显示,两者联合预测病情转归的AUC为0.935,大于任一单一指标（P＜0.05）。 结论 sCD14、Ang2、CRP与急诊创伤骨折伴多发伤患者病情严重程度及病情转归有关,均可作为预测病情转归的标志物,但联合检测sCD14、Ang2能提高预测可靠性,为临床诊疗及护理提供更准确的参考信息。
