Local wound care in perianal burn wounds is difficult owing to the risk of contamination from fecal soiling. The problem is aggravated in small children and bedridden critical patients who are unable to convey passage of stools. We used diaper-based wound care to reduce contamination. We used ethylene trioxide sterilized diaper-based dressings in such patients. These were changed at 6-hour interval. Total and mean prevented period of contamination was noted as primary objective parameters. Time to heal, maceration of surrounding skin, and wound culture swab results were noted as other parameters. The diaper-based wound care led to reduced mean daily and total contamination period. This diaper-based wound care method reduces contamination period of perianal wounds in patients suffering from perianal burn.

Introduction: Reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a well-established treatment for patients with rotator cuff tear arthropathy. The outcome after reverse total shoulder arthroplasty has been investigated in several studies and national registries. However, the treatment has not been compared to non-surgical treatment.

Background: Nutrition underpins athletic performance, enhancing training, reducing injury risk, and accelerating recovery. In the event of an injury, performance dietitians (PDs) and nutritionists' (PNs) play a vital role by tailoring nutritional strategies to support tissue repair, optimize athlete's recoveries, and return to play.
Objectives: This study explored nutritional strategies recommended and employed by Irish PDs and PNs to assess, manage, and support athletes during the initial stages of sports-related injuries.

Background: It is unclear whether the current North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) trauma system will be effective in the setting of Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO). We sought to model the efficacy of the NATO trauma system in the setting of LSCO. We also intended to model novel scenarios that could better adapt the current system to LSCO.

Objective: Acetabular fractures are among the most severe injuries in trauma surgery. In younger patients, they typically result from high-energy trauma and are often associated with polytrauma. Treatment complexity and rehabilitation outcomes are influenced by overall injury severity.

Study Design: Systematic review.
Purpose: As the number of elderly increases, age-related changes of body composition like osteoporosis and sarcopenic muscle changes contribute to higher morbidity, less quality of life and higher health care costs. Data on the effect of muscle atrophy on osteoporotic vertebral fractures is limited.
