Traumatic optic neuropathy management: A Survey assessment of current practice patterns
Conclusions: In spite of the lack of class I evidence supporting intervention of TON, the majority of respondents were inclined to offer corticosteroid treatment to patients whose visual acuity showed progressive decline following injury. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

Acute and delayed intracranial hemorrhage in head-injured patients on warfarin versus direct oral anticoagulant therapy
Conclusion: Patients on warfarin had a higher rate of acute ICH, but not delayed ICH, compared to those on DOACs. Given the low rate of delayed ICH with no resultant morbidity or mortality, routine observation and repeat head CT on patients with no acute ICH may not be necessary.

Role of intercostal artery embolization in management of traumatic hemothorax
We present 2 cases of delayed massive hemothorax following chest trauma which were successfully managed by transarterial embolization of intercostal arteries. The published studies are reviewed and a systematic approach to the selection of patients for TAE versus emergency thoracotomy is proposed. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

Microwave treatment of cold injuries
Eugene V Gavrilin, Grigory E Dunaevskiy, Vladimir B AntipovJournal of Emergencies, Trauma, and Shock 2021 14(2):108-110 In spite of the fact that extremity frostbites are a widespread type of injuries in many countries, specialized equipment for frostbite treatment is lacking. Treatment is carried out by conservative methods. The best results are obtained by using thermal isolation of injured tissues and activation of internal warming. It is proposed to initiate deep warming of frostbitten extremities on exposure to low-power microwave radiation. A microwave chamber has been developed to implement this technique. The effi...

Adrenal gland trauma: An observational descriptive analysis from a level 1-trauma center
Conclusions: Adrenal injury is not rare and often unilateral with right-sided predominance. Associated injuries influence the clinical findings, management, and outcome. Surgical interventions are rarely required except for few cases of active bleeding. Long-term outcome postadrenal injury is still not well studied. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

Cattle-related trauma: A 5-year retrospective review in a adult major trauma center
Conclusion: Cattle-related injuries are a significant cause of severe morbidity and mortality. They are under-reported. Patterns of injury are similar to high-velocity road traffic collisions and bull-related injuries or trampling in particular, should alert the clinician to more significant trauma. Farm gates are a frequent cause of trauma associated with cattle. GP referrals with ongoing symptoms for more than 2 weeks seeking medical advice should alert the clinician to a more serious diagnosis. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

Predictive factors for failure of limb salvage in blunt leg trauma associated with vascular injuries
Conclusions: Severe multi-segmental bone fractures, prolong ischemic time of >10 h, and MESS of ≥9 are significant predictors of limb loss in patients with blunt leg trauma in association with vascular injuries. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)

How a pandemic changes trauma: epidemiology and management of trauma admissions in the UK during COVID-19 lockdown
Conclusions: There was a reduction in admissions as well as reductions in high energy and occupational injuries. Elderly patients continued to fall at home or in care, sustaining hip fractures. This vulnerable group requires beds, orthogeriatric management followed by surgical intervention and social care. Orthogeriatric services must be maintained to ensure the best clinical outcomes for this group. (Source: Journal of Emergencies, Trauma and Shock)
