TRAUMA is a musical composition work based on the anxiety of the person closest to the composer but has an impact on the composer himself. This music composition work is made with a band format and supported by vocals and strings. The composer wants to use microphones into vocal effects, namely delay and reverb, to create an echoing sound produced from the composer's own voice that interprets the dark atmosphere experienced. TRAUMA is a musical work based on the empirical experience of the person closest to the composer. The composition of Trauma has three parts, namely: The first part that re...

Beispiele für traumatisierende Ereignisse sind Naturkatastrophen, Geiselnahmen, Vergewaltigungen oder Unfälle mit drohenden ernsthaften Verletzungen. Aber auch Kriegserlebnisse, Entführungen, Terroranschläge, Folter, Lagerhaft, politische Haft, gewalttätige Angriffe auf die eigene Person. Es geht also um Ereignisse, die in einem Menschen extremen Stress auslösen und Gefühle der Hilflosigkeit oder des Entsetzens erzeugen.

This chapter describes how to undertake a FAST and an extended FAST scan, with examples of common pathology, together with the limitations and pitfalls.

The questions in this chapter will highlight the important principles of trauma care and help you better comprehend the management of a seriously injured trauma patient.

A autora discorre sobre a família como o cenário de dores traumáticas, desde o nascimento até a morte, permeadas pela dor do Édipo e da castração, mas também campo de impacto para a estruturação psíquica e constituição da subjetividade. Ilustra com um breve relato de dois casos clínicos em que a família e a casa são retratadas como moldura nem sempre satisfatória para o sofrimento mental, acrescentando uma descrição literária feita por um paciente. Apresenta o ponto de vista teórico de autores kleinianos e não-kleinianos, revelando a opinião desses últimos quanto à análise da criança ser indis...

The volume of severe multiple injured patients is small but the trauma team call out system ensures early and complete triage but is demanding of resources.

Trauma(tisierung) im Sinne des Psychotraumas beschreibt ein Ereignis, das in der subjektiven Bewertung der betroffenen Person als lebensbedrohlich erlebt wird, keine Bewältigungsstrategien zur Verfügung stehen und das Leben zum Schlechteren verändert.

This chapter in the Oxford Handbook of Clinical Specialties explores trauma and describes injuries to the face, neck, and eye, as well as nerve injury, including testing peripheral nerve motor functions, dermatomes and peripheral nerves, nerve compression and syndromes.

The first three studies review the background and key findings of the third National Acute Spinal Cord Injury Study (NASCIS), examine the efficacy of the Canadian C-Spine Rule in the evaluation of cervical spine injuries in alert and stable trauma patients, and describe the development of the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score (TLICS) classification system.

This chapter begins by covering the initial assessment, and then describes advanced trauma life support and facial trauma, and priority setting in polytrauma, and contains a section on how to perform emergency procedures.

The role of detailed pathological study of brain in head injury to understand the pathology and evaluate the extent of pathological damage as a cause of fatal outcome is emphasised.

This chapter covers trauma and the mechanisms of injury, grading of injury severity, and initial management of thoracic and abdominal trauma, including specific organ injury, and blast injuries.

The December 2023 Trauma Roundup360 looks at risk factors for fracture-related infection after ankle fracture surgery, and reliability of the OTA/AO classification for trochanteric hip fractures.

The June 2023 Trauma Roundup360 looks at: Aspirin or low-molecular-weight heparin for thromboprophylaxis?; Lateral plating or retrograde nailing for distal femur fractures?; Sciatic nerve palsy after acetabular fixation: what about patient position?; How reliable is the new OTA/AO classification for trochanteric hip fractures?; Young hip fractures: is a medial buttress the answer?; When is the best time to ‘flap’ an open fracture?; The mortality burden of nonoperatively managed hip fractures.

The cost of establishing a service capable of harvesting, processing and storing allograft skin was found to be cheaper than that of a storage facility for imported skin at 5 years after establishment and cheaper also than biological skin substitute and cultured skin treatment modalities.

Strategies of Advanced Trauma Life Support utilize a standardized approach to promptly identify and manage life-threatening traumatic injuries, including recognition of cardiopulmonary disorders, volume resuscitation, and prevention of additional injuries including to the cervical spine.
