Researchers at Mass General Brigham have developed a series of artificial intelligence (AI) tools that uses machine learning to identify individuals who may be at risk for intimate partner violence (IPV) using information from their electronic medical records (EMRs). In a study published in npj Women’s Health, the researchers report the tools could detect IPV … Read more
Background Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the stroke subtype with the highest mortality and disability rates, and early hematoma evacuation is crucial for improving prognosis. Compared to traditional craniotomy, which involves significant trauma and slow recovery, minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has emerged as a highly promising treatment option due to its advantages of shorter operative time, … Read more
A new international study published in The Lancet eClinicalMedicine has mapped global blood transfusion practices for life-threatening abdominal injuries, highlighting significant variation in care worldwide and opportunities for health systems to learn from one another. The research, led by the University of Cambridge as part of the GOAL-Trauma study, analysed data from 1,768 patients treated in … Read more
An MBBS student who grappled with spells of panic disorder and depression opened up about the trauma from sexual abuse to her doctor, leading to the conviction of the offender after more than a decade. The Fast Track Special Court (POCSO), Thiruvananthapuram, Judge Anju Meera Birla, sentenced the convict, Subhash Kumar, 56, a resident of Medical … Read more
Post-traumatic osteoarthritis often affects younger, active individuals and progresses quickly following ligament or cartilage injury. Chondrocytes, the sole cell type in articular cartilage, survive in a low-oxygen environment by relying heavily on glycolysis, producing large amounts of lactate. While lactate has traditionally been associated with tissue stress and inflammation, emerging evidence suggests it also functions … Read more
What is memory? Is it an electric spark or a chemical product? Is it deposited in one place? All that you have learned, felt, and experienced in your life is memory, but it’s not like books stored unchanged on a library shelf. Scientists and psychiatrists agree that memory is the brain’s ability to encode, store, … Read more

Trauma patients urgently requiring a breathing tube are more likely to survive if the tube is inserted before arriving at hospital compared to insertion afterwards, suggests a modeling study led by researchers at University College London (UCL) and the Severn Major Trauma Network. The researchers found that prehospital emergency intubation of high-risk trauma patients could … Read more
Researchers at the University of Colorado Anschutz have developed a way to predict how trauma patients will recover, days before complications come to fruition, by analyzing the molecules in their blood. In a first-of-its-kind study, published today in Science Translational Medicine, the team showed that “omics” markers, or biological signals found in blood, can reveal … Read more
