Article Abstract
Objective: This study investigates the distribution, burden and trends of injuries in Sichuan, China.
Design: A surveillance study using injury data collected by the National Injury Surveillance System.
Setting And Participants: 312 511 injury cases reported in the National Injury Surveillance System in Sichuan, China, from 2006 to 2015.
Primary Outcome Measures: Years of potential life lost (YPLL) were calculated to determine the disease burden from injuries. Trend analysis was performed to assess the trends in specific injuries over time.
Results: A total of 312 511 injury cases were reported in the last 10 years in Sichuan with 192 904 (men: 58.58%) and 119 607 (men: 67.11%) cases from the urban and rural surveillance hospitals, respectively. The annual number of injury cases increased from 21 257 in 2006 to 44 112 in 2015 with an average annual increase of 8.45%. The top three common causes of injury were fall (29.3%), animal-related injury (19.1%) and road-related injury (14.6%) in the urban area and fall (38.4%), road-related injury (17.2%) and blunt injuries (16.0%) in the rural area. YPLLs from injuries accounted for 13% of the total YPLLs in the urban area.
Conclusions: The number of injury cases varied according to rural/urban areas and gender and increased sharply in Sichuan over the last decade. It is necessary to develop targeted prevention and control measures to reduce the disease burden of injuries.

Purpose: To investigate the images and treatment differences for Type IIIa atlantoaxial rotary dislocation (AARD) by comparing the imaging characteristics of patients with Type III and Type IIIa AARD.
Methods: The present study retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 35 patients who underwent posterior C1-C2 intra-articular fusion due to AARD from our hospital database. Among them, 23 patients were diagnosed with Type III AARD, while the remaining 12 patients were diagnosed with Type IIIa AARD.

Risk-based firearm laws are a firearm injury prevention strategy. However, evidence for their efficacy in reducing firearm injury is mixed. There is agreement that the magnitude of their effect depends on implementation and efficacy would improve with better implementation.

Background And Objectives: Social determinants of health (SDOH) are key drivers of health inequities, shaping disparities in patient outcomes that must be addressed. This study examines the association between SDOH and suspected child abuse (SCA) in pediatric patients sustaining traumatic brain injury (TBI), leveraging newly proposed Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)/PLACES measures to identify the most contributing measure to SCA.
Methods: A retrospective review of our institutional database (2016-2023) identified pediatric TBI cases (18 years and younger) using International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision codes based on a modified CDC framework.
The Most Appropriate Imaging Analysis in Pyelonephritis and Its Complications: Clinical Evidence.

Although renal ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) without contrast may allow the diagnosis of complicated acute pyelonephritis (PN), they may fail to diagnose renal abscesses and complicated PN, which is allowed by the upper level imaging: contrast CT or Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (MRI). We report three clinical cases of patients admitted to the Nephrology, Dialysis and Transplantation Unit at Padua University Hospital in which renal ultrasound (US) and Computed Tomography (CT) without contrast failed to allow diagnosis of PN complications, while contrast CT showed renal abscesses in two patients and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) without contrast a frank PN in one. Contrast CT or MRI should be preferred to renal US and/or CT without contrast and are the most indicated imaging analyses to be prescribed in acute complicated PN, in particular in the presence of acute kidney injury.

We conducted this study to determine the prevalence of acute kidney injury in malaria, acute kidney injury, associated factors and the impact of acute kidney injury on vital prognosis. This was a multicenter, retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study over a 5-year period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023, in the nephrology and infectious diseases departments and intensive care units of Dakar hospitals.
