Article Abstract

Management of isolated traumatic pancreatic duct disruption remains challenging due to associated morbidity and mortality. Two children with isolated pancreatic ductal disruption were treated conservatively. Both developed a pseudocyst which resolved spontaneously due to the atrophy of the distal pancreas in a five-year-old girl while remained persistent and was treated by endoscopic cystogastrostomy in an eight-year-old boy. Non-operative management may be pursued in patients with pancreatic ductal injury in the hope of a pseudocyst formation which may spontaneously resolve or may be treated later with a minimally invasive procedure. However, the literature review precludes its practice as a standard due to high incidence of associated complications of non-operative management.

Limited vascularization and ischemia are major contributors to the chronicity of wounds, such as ulcers and traumatic injuries, which impose significant medical, social, and economic burdens. These challenges are particularly pronounced in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI), a disabling condition associated with vascular dysfunction, infections, and impaired peripheral circulation, complicating the treatment of pressure injuries (PIs) and the success of reconstructive procedures like grafts and flaps. Regenerative medicine aims to address these issues by identifying effective cellular therapies to restore vascular beds.

Social Buffering of Acute Early Life Stress Sex-Dependently Ameliorates Fear Incubation in Adulthood.

Dev Psychobiol

Social buffering may reduce the persistent impacts of acute early life stress (aELS) and, thus, has important implications for anxiety- and trauma-related disorders. First, we assessed whether aELS would induce maladaptive fear incubation in adult mice, a PTSD-like phenotype. Overall, animals showed incubation of fear memory in adulthood, independent of aELS condition.

"The grief exists in a bubble that the rest of the world doesn't see": Exploring biographical disruption and meaning-making amongst people bereaved during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Soc Sci Med

University of Bristol, Palliative and End of Life Care Research Group, Population Health Sciences, Bristol Medical School, Canynge Hall, 39 Whatley Road, Bristol, BS8 2PS, UK. Electronic address:

People bereaved during the Covid-19 pandemic experienced profoundly altered death, mourning and grieving practices. Worsened grief outcomes have been widely reported but less is known about how people coped during these unprecedented times. Using reflexive thematic analysis critically informed by theories of biographical disruption and meaning-making, we analysed 39 interview transcripts from 24 people bereaved during the pandemic in the UK.

Rationale: The opportunistic pathogen Corynebacterium striatum has been generating more clinical infections in recent years, but secondary infections at different parts caused by it have been reported more rarely.

Patient Concerns: This case details a 52-year-old male patient who got an infection that advanced to multiple osteomyelitis and soft tissue abscess after block therapy for external humeral epicondylitis of the right arm. Unexpectedly, the chronic ulcerated region of the patient's neck was infested with Corynebacterium striatum due to inadequate treatment of the main infection, resulting in a secondary infection of the neck mass.
