From policymaking and research point of view, our aim is to compare data of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) with developed settings, where health care facilities are much enhanced as compared to developing settings. In this retrospective study, we described and compared demographic, clinical, secondary insult related characteristics, and outcomes at 6-months (based on Glasgow outcome scale) of our patients with severe TBI; based on emergency department Glasgow coma scale, admitted to neurosurgery Intensive Care Unit at Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Centre (JPNATC), AIIMS, New Delhi, during May 2010–July 2012; with famous studies from developed settings using descriptive statistics. We found that there is a huge burden of young patients, mostly males with severe TBI in India as compared to developed settings. Follow-up data for 6-months outcome were very much lesser and outcome as death was in high proportion as compared to developed settings. In case of severe TBI, this information can be valuable in formulation of policies and programmes at centre/national/international level, increasing public awareness, developing new action plans.

Fifty-two percent of people detained in state jails and 63% of people in government penitentiaries are guardians of minor kids and a large number of them (22% of the offspring of state prisoners and 16% of the offspring of administrative detainees) are younger than 5 years. Exploration has shown that kids who have been presented to capture of a relative are fundamentally bound to have been the casualties of, or observer to, a more extensive scope of brutal and peaceful wrongdoings in their homes including youngster abuse or the utilization/selling of illicit substances.

Rucksack palsy is an uncommon injury presumably caused by prolonged traction of the straps of a backpack on the brachial plexus. We present a patient with painless weakness and loss of sensation in her arm. Familiarity with the differential diagnosis of insidious, painless shoulder weakness is essential in managing patients with rucksack palsy. These patients should be treated expectantly and monitored closely.

Introduction: Transarterial embolization (TAE) has been used as an essential technique in the nonoperative management (NOM) of severe blunt hepatic injuries (BHI) but has a possible risk of tissue ischemia and necrosis, which may affect hepatic recovery. The injured liver tissue gets encapsulated and absorbed by intact liver tissue; therefore, the healing process requires the formation of a wall surrounding the injured tissue. In this study, we determined the impact of TAE on the hepatic healing process.Patients and methods: We reviewed hemodynamically stable patients (n=35; males, 23; females, 12; mean age, 32 years), admitted to our hospitals over a 10-year period, who underwent NOM of severe BHI (American Association for the Surgery of Trauma Organ Injury Scale, grades IV and V). Data collected included demographic information, serial CT findings, severity of hepatic injuries showing lacerations (Couinaud's liver segment classification), TAE performed for active hepatic bleeding, and the amount of hemoperitoneum. Extrahepatic factors were evaluated using the Abbreviated Injury Scale for injuries to the head, face, thorax, and extremities. Time taken by injured segments to encapsulate was individually obtained from serial CTs. Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier analyses were used to identify risk factors associated with delayed healing among the hepatic and extrahepatic factors mentioned above.Results: Risk factors were independently and significantly associated with TAE (odds ratio, 2.45; 95% confidence interval, 1.01-5.92; p=0.047). Multivariate analysis indicated that patients who underwent TAE took 2.45-times longer time to attain liver encapsulation than those who did not undergo TAE and that extrahepatic factors did not correlate with the time to encapsulation.Conclusion: TAE for active liver hemorrhage resulted in a delayed recovery from BHI, regardless of extrahepatic factors.

Several published reviews and recommendations exist for the use of negative pressure wound therapy (NPWT) with instillation and a dwell time (NPWTi-d) in acute and chronic wounds. Specific dressings for use with NPWTi-d have also been developed, including a reticulated open cell foam dressing with through holes (ROCF-CC) that assists in removing thick wound exudate and infectious materials. ROCF-CC is especially helpful for wound cleansing when debridement is not possible or appropriate in patients. We report our initial experiences in using NPWTi-d with ROCF-CC in patients with pressure ulcers. An algorithmic approach was used to determine appropriate treatment to reach the goals of therapy (i.e., wound bed preparation, granulation tissue formation, and removal of infectious materials). Previous therapies included honey and gauze soaked in Dakin’s solution. All patients received antibiotics and debridement when possible. Five patients (3 females and 2 males) received NPWTi-d with ROCF-CC (instillation of saline or a hypochlorous solution with a dwell time of 10 minutes, followed by 2-3 hours of -125 mmHg NPWT). Patient comorbidities included obesity, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and peripheral artery disease. Mean age of patients was 65.2 years (range: 50-82 years). After an average of 6 days of therapy (range 2-9 days), all wounds treated with NPWTi-d with ROCFCC showed rapid granulation tissue formation. We also noted improved removal of devitalized tissue and subsequent granulation tissue formation in patients receiving hypochlorous solution compared to patients receiving saline during NPWTi-d with ROCF-CC. All patients were eventually transferred to a skilled nursing facility. In our clinical practice, NPWTi-d with ROCF-CC provided effective and rapid removal of the thick exudate and infectious materials and promoted excellent development of underlying granulation tissue.

A major problem during a disaster relates to people requiring assistance. Very few studies have investigated the difficulties people requiring assistance during an actual disaster experience. We examined the situations and behavior of those with intellectual, developmental, and psychiatric disorders during the Great East Japan Earthquake through semi-structured interviews of eight supporters. In essence, the study aimed to elucidate crisis perceptibility of people who require assistance and special care during disaster evacuation. Results revealed that immediately after the disaster occurred, people requiring assistance and special care during evacuation did not exhibit any signs of panic or unexpected reactions. We assumed that the factor that accounted for the finding was the presence of supporters who understood them. There was also the possibility that different cognitive function profiles of people requiring assistance and special care affected their behavior during a disaster.

Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is common in civilians and veterans and is often chronic and disabling [1&2]. The Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and venlafaxine are considered first line treatment for PTSD although only sertraline and paroxetine have FDA approval [3]. These medications have been shown to improve most PTSD symptoms and in particular, irritability [4&5]. However, they have little effect on insomnia [4&5] which is serious problem in PTSD patients [6]. Military veterans tend to have little or no response to antidepressant medications [7-10]. Second Generation Antipsychotics (SGAs) are often used in the treatment of PTSD, particularly for insomnia [11]. A review of SGAs randomized trials in the treatment of PTSD found the most evidence of benefit from quetiapine and risperidone, particularly for re-experiencing and hyperarousal symptoms [12].

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) on the residual symptoms of bipolar disorder through a single case AB design. Method: A single-case experimental AB design was carried out using an EMDR intervention with a patient with bipolar I disorder. Result: Beck Depression Inventory and Young Mania Rating Scale scores for the single patient with bipolar I disorder decreased rapidly during the intervention (A phase), but slightly increased during the intervention withdrawal (B phase). Conclusion: The single-case experimental design results demonstrated that EMDR reduced residual depressive and manic symptoms in a patient with bipolar I disorder.
