Association between prehospital oxygen saturation and outcomes in hypotensive traumatic brain injury patients in Asia (Pan-Asian Trauma Outcomes Study (PATOS)).

Background: It has been shown that blood pressure (BP) and peripheral oxygen saturation (SpO) influence the outcomes in Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) patients. This study aims to determine the association between prehospital SpO and in-hospital mortality in hypotensive TBI patients.

Methods: Prehospital trauma patients who were 18 years old or above with a diagnosis of TBI using ICD 10 codes (S06.

The hygiene hypothesis of crime: Examining the link between disgust-related diseases and crime incidence.

Disgust, an evolutionarily adaptive mechanism for pathogen avoidance, plays a critical role in shaping social and moral behaviors. However, its influence on societal outcomes, such as crime, remains underexplored. This study examines the relationship between disgust-related diseases (diarrhea, HIV, and leprosy) and violent crimes (sex-related crimes, assault, and homicide) in Indonesia, a high-pathogen-stress environment.

Trauma outcomes differences in females: a prospective analysis of 76 000 trauma patients in the Asia-Pacific region and the contributing factors.

Background: Trauma is a leading cause of mortality, particularly in low and middle-income countries. While extensively studied in North America and Europe, data from the Asia-Pacific are limited. An important area of research is the difference in trauma outcomes, which are theoretically noted to be better among females.

Role of Competing Magnetic Exchange on Non-Collinear to Collinear Magnetic Ordering and Skyrmion Stabilization in Centrosymmetric Hexagonal Magnets.

Topological magnetic skyrmions with helicity state degrees of freedom in centrosymmetric magnets possess great potential for advanced spintronics applications and quantum computing. Till date, the skyrmion study in this class of materials mostly remains focused to collinear ferromagnets with uniaxial magnetic anisotropy. Here, we present a combined theoretical and experimental study on the competing magnetic exchange-induced evolution of noncollinear magnetic ground states and its impact on the skyrmion formation in a series of centrosymmetric hexagonal noncollinear magnets, MnFeCoGe.

The effect of time to neurosurgical or neuroradiological intervention therapy on outcomes and quality of care after traumatic brain injury, a registry-based observational study.

Background: Evidence regarding the effect of time to neurosurgical and neuroradiological intervention on outcomes in traumatic brain injury (TBI) across Asia-Pacific region is limited. This study evaluates the quality of care and outcomes for TBI patients undergoing neurosurgical and neuroradiological procedures at different timings.

Methods: Adult TBI patients who received any neurosurgical or neuroradiological interventions during the year 2015-2022 in the Pan-Asian Trauma Outcome Study database were analyzed.
