Abstract
BACKGROUND The importance of environmental sustainability is acknowledged in all sectors, including healthcare. To meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals 2030 Agenda, healthcare will need a paradigm shift toward more environmentally sustainable practices that will also impact clinical decision-making. The study investigates trauma and emergency surgeons' perception, acceptance, and employment of environmentally friendly habits. METHODS An online survey based on the most recent literature regarding environmental sustainability in healthcare and surgery was created by a multidisciplinary committee and endorsed by the World Society of Emergency Surgery (WSES). The survey was advertised to the 917 WSES members through the society's website and Twitter/X profile. RESULTS 450 surgeons from 55 countries participated in the survey. Results underline both a generally positive attitude toward environmental sustainability but also a lack of knowledge about several concepts and practices, especially concerning the potential contribution to patient care. DISCUSSION The topic of environmental sustainability in healthcare and surgery is still in its infancy. There is a clear lack of salient guidance and knowledge, and there is a critical need for governments, institutions, health agencies, and scientific societies to promote, disseminate, and report environmentally friendly initiatives and their potential impacts while employing an interdisciplinary approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Neck ultrasound (US) and Technetium-99 m Sestamibi (MIBI) scan are the most commonly used imaging studies for preoperative localization of parathyroid adenomas. The aim of this study was to determine the added value of MIBI scan and its effect on the operative plan via a hypothetical model where a stepwise approach is conducted and MIBI is considered only after the ultrasound is evaluated. METHODS Patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) between 2012 and 2019 at two tertiary centers were included. Data collected included demographic data, preoperative workup, operative findings and follow-up. The added value of MIBI scans was determined for patients with positive ultrasound. RESULTS A total of 513 patients with positive US result and a MIBI scan were included. If a stepwise approach was conducted then MIBI scan would not change the operative plan in 492 (95.9%). Among the remaining 21 patients, MIBI scan would correctly change the ultrasound-based operative plan in only 12 (2.3%) patients, while incorrectly change the plan in 9 (1.8%), resulting in unnecessary exploration of the contralateral side. In patients with sonographic appearance of a parathyroid gland larger than 1.2 cm, MIBI scan would correctly change the operative plan in only 1 of the 287 (0.35%) patients. CONCLUSIONS Our study suggests that the routine use of MIBI scans may have limited added value in patients with PHPT and a positive neck ultrasound, especially in those with adenoma size larger than 1.2 cm. Positive ultrasound alone may be sufficient for the preoperative localization of parathyroid disease.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction: Recent studies have shown that the molecular heterogeneity of HER2 intracellular (ICD) and extracellular (ECD) domains, as well as overall immune infiltration, are associated with response to adjuvant trastuzumab. Traditional strategies for in situ measurement in the tumor microenvironment allow the combination of up to 6 targets, limiting our capability for in-depth interrogation of tissues. Imaging Mass Cytometry (IMC) uses metal-conjugated antibodies to provide multidimensional, objective measurement of protein targets. We used this high-throughput multiplexing platform to perform an 18-plex assessment of HER2 ICD/ECD, cytotoxic T cell infiltration and other structural and signaling proteins in a cohort of patients treated with trastuzumab.
Methods: An antibody panel for detection of 18 targets (Pancytokeratin, HER2 ICD, HER2 ECD, CD8, vimentin, cytokeratin 7, beta-catenin, HER3, MET, EGFR, ERK 1-2, MEK 1-2, PTEN, PI3K p110 alpha, Akt, mTOR, Ki67 and Histone H3) was conjugated to unique metals for detection in an IMC instrument (Fluidigm). All assays were objectively standardized and validated using quantitative immunofluoresce (QIF). Finally, the IMC technique was validated against HER2 single marker assays by QIF. We used a collection of trastuzumab-treated patients from the HeCOG 10/05 trial (n=180), and identified a case:control series using 5-year recurrence events (n=19), which were matched to controls (n=41) by age and TNM stage. Formalin-fixed, paraffin embedded tissues in tissue microarray format were ablated in the IMC attachment to the CyTOF flow cytometer for simultaneous detection of markers. Image visualization was conducted using MCD Viewer (Fluidigm). Statistical analyses were performed using a range of platforms.
Results: Patients that recurred after adjuvant treatment with trastuzumab showed a decreased fraction of HER2 ECD pixels over threshold in a compartment determined by CK and HER2 ICD compared to cases without recurrence (p=0.057). After exclusion of the lowest HER2 expressers (that would have fallen below the threshold for positive by current HER2 assays), 5-year recurrence events where associated with reduced total ECD/ ICD ratio intensity in tumor (p=0.044). Patients below the median for total ECD/ICD ratio showed a trend for decreased benefit from trastuzumab (p=0.066). Levels of cytotoxic T cell infiltration, depicted by total CD8 intensity, were lower in patients with recurrences (p=0.05).
Conclusion: Objective measurement of highly multiplexed protein targets in routine, fixed breast cancer tissues shows that a decreased ratio of HER2 ECD/ ICD is associated with 5-year recurrence after trastuzumab treatment. This observation is consistent with our previous work using QIF but represents the first time this has been done on identical cell content (on a single tissue section). Additionally, on the same section we found that lower levels of overall cytotoxic T cell infiltration were associated with worse outcome. Further analysis of the multiplexed data, including both correlative and distance-based analyses are underway.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Opportunities to improve emergency surgery outcomes exist through guided better practice and reduced variability. Few attempts have been made to define optimal care in emergency surgery, and few clinically derived key performance indicators (KPIs) have been published. A summit was therefore convened to look at resources for optimal care of emergency surgery. The aim of the Donegal Summit was to set a platform in place to develop guidelines and KPIs in emergency surgery. METHODS The project had multidisciplinary global involvement in producing consensus statements regarding emergency surgery care in key areas, and to assess feasibility of producing KPIs that could be used to monitor process and outcome of care in the future. RESULTS Forty-four key opinion leaders in emergency surgery, across 7 disciplines from 17 countries, composed evidence-based position papers on 14 key areas of emergency surgery and 112 KPIs in 20 acute conditions or emergency systems. CONCLUSIONS The summit was successful in achieving position papers and KPIs in emergency surgery. While position papers were limited by non-graded evidence and non-validated KPIs, the process set a foundation for the future advancement of emergency surgery.

Abstract
Acute calculus cholecystitis is a very common disease with several area of uncertainty. The World Society of Emergency Surgery developed extensive guidelines in order to cover grey areas. The diagnostic criteria, the antimicrobial therapy, the evaluation of associated common bile duct stones, the identification of “high risk” patients, the surgical timing, the type of surgery, and the alternatives to surgery are discussed. Moreover the algorithm is proposed: as soon as diagnosis is made and after the evaluation of choledocholitiasis risk, laparoscopic cholecystectomy should be offered to all patients exception of those with high risk of morbidity or mortality. These Guidelines must be considered as an adjunctive tool for decision but they are not substitute of the clinical judgement for the individual patient.

Abstract
Background: While combat casualty care shares many key concepts with civilian trauma systems, its unique features mandate certain practices that are distinct from the civilian ones. Methods: This is a review of the most current literature on combat casualty care, based on computer database searches for studies on combat casualty care and military medicine. Studies were selected for inclusion in this review based on their relevance and contribution. Results: Over the last decade, meticulous, international data collection and research efforts have led to significant improvements in military trauma care. Combat medicine has focused on the causes of preventable deaths and targeted on bleeding control and resuscitation strategies, as well as improved evacuation. En route care and forward surgical interventions have resulted in unprecedented low fatality rates and the saving of more lives. Conclusion: This overview of the developments in combat casualty care in recent years emphasizes medical practices that are characteristic of combat medicine, yet with the potential to save lives in other scenarios, as well.

Abstract
Background: Expression of programmed death ligand (PD-L1/B7-H1/CD274) represents a mechanism of immune escape for renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells. Drugs blocking PD-L1 or its receptor are in clinical development and early data suggests that tumor PD-L1 expression may predict response. Patients and Methods: A tissue microarray (TMA) consisting of four biopsy cores from 34 matched pairs of nephrectomy and metastatic sites of clear cell RCC was used to assess PD-L1 expression by quantitative immunofluorescence. Assessment of intra- and inter-tumor heterogeneity and primary and metastatic tumor expression was performed using a method of Automated Quantitative Analysis (AQUA). Results: The median AQUA scores were higher in metastatic than primary specimens (P < 0.0001). The correlation between PD-L1 expression in matched primary and metastatic specimens was weak (R= 0.24). Within a given tumor, variable PD-L1 staining heterogeneity was seen, however the degree of heterogeneity was similar in primary and metastatic sites (P = 0.482). Conclusions: The weak correlation between PD-L1 expression in primary and metastatic sites for a given patient suggests that expression in nephrectomy specimens cannot be used to select metastatic RCC patients for PD-L1 and PD-1 inhibitors. The intra-tumor heterogeneity seen in both primary and metastatic specimens indicates that a single core biopsy might not be sufficient to determine PD-L1 expression.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growth factor receptor-bound protein-7 (Grb7) is an adapter-type signaling protein recruited to various tyrosine kinases, including HER2/neu. Grb7-specific inhibitors are in early development. As with other targeted therapies, response to therapy might be associated with target expression. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tissue microarrays containing 638 primary breast cancer specimens with 15-year patient follow-up were employed to assess Grb7 expression using our Automated QUantitative Analysis method; cytokeratin defines pixels as breast cancer (tumor mask) within the histospot, and Grb7 expression within the mask is measured with Cy5-conjugated antibodies. RESULTS High Grb7 expression was strongly associated with decreased survival in the entire cohort and in the node-positive subset (P = 0.0034 and P = 0.0019, respectively). On multivariable analysis, it remained an independent prognostic marker (P = 0.01). High Grb7 was strongly associated with high HER2/neu, and coexpression of these molecules was associated with worse prognosis than HER2/neu overexpression alone. CONCLUSIONS High Grb7 defines a subset of breast cancer patients with decreased survival, indicating that Grb7 might be a valuable prognostic marker and drug target. Coexpression with HER2/neu indicates that cotargeting these molecules might be an effective approach for treating HER2/neu-positive breast cancers. Future studies using Grb7-targeting agents should include assessment of Grb7 levels.

Abstract
BACKGROUND HSP90 chaperones molecules critical for cell survival and malignant progression, including mutated B-raf. HSP90-targeting agents are in clinical trials. No large studies have been conducted on expression of HSP90 in melanomas. MATERIALS AND METHODS Tissue microarrays containing 414 nevi, 198 primary and 270 metastatic melanomas were assessed using our automated quantitative analysis (AQUA) method of in situ protein measurement; we use S-100 to define pixels as melanocytes (tumor mask) within the array spot, and measure HSP90 expression within the mask using Cy5-conjugated antibodies. RESULTS HSP90 expression was higher in melanomas than nevi (P < 0.0001) and higher in metastatic than primary specimens (P < 0.0001). No association was seen between high HSP90 expression and survival in the primary or metastatic patient subsets. In primary melanomas, high HSP90 expression was associated with higher Clark level (P = 0.0167) and increased Breslow depth (P < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS HSP90 expression was significantly higher in tumors than nevi and was associated with disease progression, indicating that it might be a valuable drug target in melanoma, as well as a useful diagnostic marker. Prospective studies are needed to confirm the diagnostic role of HSP90, as well as the predictive role of HSP90 expression in patients treated with HSP90 inhibitors.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Biliary leak secondary to blunt or penetrating hepatic trauma and damage to the intrahepatic biliary tree remains a challenging problem. The role and safety of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and stenting in this setting were studied.
Methods
All trauma victims who developed a bile leak secondary to hepatic trauma were included. Bile leak was defined as the appearance of bile in a surgical wound or intra-abdominal drain after surgery, following percutaneous drainage of a perihepatic bile collection, or evidence of a leak on hepatobiliary scintigraphy. ERCP was performed within 24 h of diagnosis and included biliary sphincterotomy and internal stenting. Recovery was defined as cessation of leakage.
Results
Between 1996 and 2004, six patients with penetrating injuries and five with blunt abdominal injuries were treated according to the study protocol. Eight underwent surgery to control bleeding or for additional intra-abdominal injuries. All bile leaks resolved completely within 10 days of ERCP. One patient died from pulmonary sepsis; ten recovered without hepatobiliary sequelae.
Conclusion
ERCP, biliary sphincterotomy and temporary internal stenting, together with percutaneous drainage of intra-abdominal or intrahepatic bile collections, represent a safe and effective strategy for the management of bile leaks following both blunt and penetrating hepatic trauma.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa, NovoSeven) has been used off-label for various conditions. A protocol for its use in acute, uncontrolled life-threatening bleeding, was devised and employed. A haematologist/transfusion specialist was assigned as a member of the team. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinical data were reviewed and summarized. A scoring system for the assessment and monitoring of coagulopathy was employed. Each parameter of prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), platelet number and fibrinogen level was allocated points according to the degree of abnormality. Three scoring levels emerged. RESULTS Between April 2001 and April 2003, 13 patients received rFVIIa for acute, uncontrolled life-threatening bleeding. Nine of 13 patients remained alive for 15 days or longer after rFVIIa infusion. All patients who experienced a reduction or cessation of bleeding after rFVIIa infusion, also had a lower coagulopathy score after replacement therapy, prior to rFVIIa infusion, compared with their score at rFVIIa request. There was a reduction in the average use of blood products after rFVIIa infusion. The coagulopathy score was statistically predictive of response to rFVIIa and survival. CONCLUSIONS In an area where very little data exists, we report the usefulness of rFVIIa. We propose that transfusion replacement should aim to correct coagulopathy before infusion of rFVIIa and that a haematologist/transfusion specialist should be involved in the management of these patients. A prognostically significant coagulopathy scoring system is offered.

Abstract
Gas in the portal vein is a rare and often fatal condition in surgical patients. However, the presence of gas in the mesenteric and portal veins in association with abdominal trauma is a transient incidental finding that resolves spontaneously. We describe a young patient with Crohn's disease who suffered air embolism of the portal veins secondary to blunt abdominal trauma. The condition was clinically benign and resolved spontaneously. The pathogenesis is discussed and a review of the literature is provided.

Abstract
Penetrating cardiac injuries are an increasing cause of traumatic deaths in urban areas. The management of these injuries has undergone a transition from simple pericardiocentesis to cardiac ultrasound evaluation in the stable patient, and emergency thoracotomy and repair of myocardial wounds in the unstable patient in extremes. The incidence of traumatic coronary artery injury is not accurately known because not all victims are examined. With the improvement in emergency medical services, including speed of transportation of these patients, better resuscitation, and knowledgeable use of cardiac ultrasound or emergency room thoracotomy, more patients with coronary artery injuries will survive and reach the operating room. The operative management of the injured coronary artery is dependant on the location of the injury and whether there is myocardial dysfunction. Distal injuries with small myocardial infarction should be treated by ligation alone. Proximal injury and those injuries associate with larger area of ischaemia or infarction are best treated with coronary artery bypass. The role of cardiopulmonary bypass pump in these patients should be evaluated depending on the homodynamic stability of the patient. We present two cases of cardiac stab wounds with transection of the left anterior descending (LAD), which were successfully managed. A literature review regarding the management of combined cardiac and coronary artery injuries is also provided.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare prehospital hypotensive resuscitation with volume resuscitation, and find out whether reagents that inhibit free-oxygen radical formation, such as methylene blue, can improve resuscitation and survival. DESIGN Randomised controlled trial. SETTING Animal laboratory, Israel. ANIMALS 48 adult male Wistar rats. INTERVENTIONS After 30 minutes of controlled haemorrhage, rats were subjected to 60 minutes of uncontrolled haemorrhage with simultaneous resuscitation. Hartmann's solution alone, or with blood or with a bolus of methylene blue were infused to maintain the mean arterial pressure (MAP) at 80 or 40 mm Hg. Then haemorrhage was stopped and Hartmann's solution plus whole blood were infused to obtain a MAP that was within normal limits. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Volumes of shed blood and resuscitation fluids, MAP, packed cell volume, blood pH and base deficit, and survival. RESULTS During uncontrolled haemorrhage. a MAP of 80 mm Hg could not be reached in animals resuscitated with Hartmann's solution alone, and all died. All the rats given Hartmann's solution with a bolus of methylene blue or with whole blood achieved a higher MAP. MAP of 40 mm Hg was attained in all animals regardless of the resuscitation fluid. Only 15 of 24 animals resuscitated to a MAP of 80 mm Hg survived, compared with 22 survivors of the 24 rats resuscitated to a MAP of 40 mm Hg (p <0.04). Methylene blue or whole blood drastically reduced the volumes of shed blood and of fluids required, and moderated the reduction in packed cell volume, particularly during hypotensive resuscitation. CONCLUSION Hypotensive protocols should be used to improve survival. Methylene blue given with the electrolyte solutions could negate their detrimental effects during resuscitation.

Abstract
Although the mature neutrophil is one of the better characterized mammalian cell types, the mechanisms of myeloid differentiation are incompletely understood at the molecular level. A mouse promyelocytic cell line (MPRO), derived from murine bone marrow cells and arrested developmentally by a dominant-negative retinoic acid receptor, morphologically differentiates to mature neutrophils in the presence of 10 microM retinoic acid. An extensive catalog was prepared of the gene expression changes that occur during morphologic maturation. To do this, 3'-end differential display, oligonucleotide chip array hybridization, and 2-dimensional protein electrophoresis were used. A large number of genes whose mRNA levels are modulated during differentiation of MPRO cells were identified. The results suggest the involvement of several transcription regulatory factors not previously implicated in this process, but they also emphasize the importance of events other than the production of new transcription factors. Furthermore, gene expression patterns were compared at the level of mRNA and protein, and the correlation between 2 parameters was studied. (Blood. 2001;98:513-524)

Abstract
High-throughput structural proteomics is expected to generate considerable amounts of data on the progress of structure determination for many proteins. For each protein this includes information about cloning, expression, purification, biophysical characterization and structure determination via NMR spectroscopy or X-ray crystallography. It will be essential to develop specifications and ontologies for standardizing this information to make it amenable to retrospective analysis. To this end we created the SPINE database and analysis system for the Northeast Structural Genomics Consortium. SPINE, which is available at bioinfo.mbb.yale.edu/nesg or nesg.org, is specifically designed to enable distributed scientific collaboration via the Internet. It was designed not just as an information repository but as an active vehicle to standardize proteomics data in a form that would enable systematic data mining. The system features an intuitive user interface for interactive retrieval and modification of expression construct data, query forms designed to track global project progress and external links to many other resources. Currently the database contains experimental data on 985 constructs, of which 740 are drawn from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum, 123 from Saccharomyces cerevisiae, 93 from Caenorhabditis elegans and the remainder from other organisms. We developed a comprehensive set of data mining features for each protein, including several related to experimental progress (e.g. expression level, solubility and crystallization) and 42 based on the underlying protein sequence (e.g. amino acid composition, secondary structure and occurrence of low complexity regions). We demonstrate in detail the application of a particular machine learning approach, decision trees, to the tasks of predicting a protein's solubility and propensity to crystallize based on sequence features. We are able to extract a number of key rules from our trees, in particular that soluble proteins tend to have significantly more acidic residues and fewer hydrophobic stretches than insoluble ones. One of the characteristics of proteomics data sets, currently and in the foreseeable future, is their intermediate size ( approximately 500-5000 data points). This creates a number of issues in relation to error estimation. Initially we estimate the overall error in our trees based on standard cross-validation. However, this leaves out a significant fraction of the data in model construction and does not give error estimates on individual rules. Therefore, we present alternative methods to estimate the error in particular rules.

Abstract
A comprehensive study of changes in messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in human neutrophils following exposure to bacteria is described. Within 2 hours there are dramatic changes in the levels of several hundred mRNAs including those for a variety of cytokines, receptors, apoptosis-regulating products, and membrane trafficking regulators. In addition, there are a large number of up-regulated mRNAs that appear to represent a common core of activation response genes that have been identified as early-response products to a variety of stimuli in a number of other cell types. The activation response of neutrophils to nonpathogenic bacteria is greatly altered by exposure to Yersinia pestis, which may be a major factor contributing to the virulence and rapid progression of plague. Several gene clusters were created based on the patterns of gene induction caused by different bacteria. These clusters were consistent with those found by a principal components analysis. A number of the changes could be interpreted in terms of neutrophil physiology and the known functions of the genes. These findings indicate that active regulation of gene expression plays a major role in the neutrophil contribution to the cellular inflammatory response. Interruption of these changes by pathogens, such as Y pestis, could be responsible, at least in part, for the failure to contain infections by highly virulent organisms.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To examine the utility of a protocol for treating stab wounds to the gluteal region. These are uncommon and potentially lethal, and the location of injury influences the rate and severity of associated injuries. This was a retrospective, uncontrolled study. METHODS Patients who sustained gluteal stab wounds and were treated according to our predetermined protocol that classifies injuries as upper or lower zone were reviewed, and associated injuries and outcome were measured. RESULTS Of 27 gluteal stab wounds in 17 patients, 53% were classified as upper zone and 47% as lower zone injuries. Sixty-six percent of the upper zone injuries had associated neurologic, vascular, or visceral injuries that required invasive procedures or surgery, compared with 12.5% for lower zone injuries (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Upper zone gluteal stab wounds require prompt multisystem evaluation with mandatory angiography and aggressive management. Lower zone wounds need observation and repeated evaluations.

Abstract
Two cases of severe hepatic injury in which selective hepatic artery embolization was used to control hemorrhage are presented. The first case is that of a 35 year old patient who sustained a severe liver injury after a car accident. A CAT scan of the abdomen revealed an AAST grade 5 liver injury, pooling of contrast material within the liver parenchyma, and blood within the peritoneal cavity. The patient was given fluid resuscitation and taken to angiography where bleeding from branches of the right hepatic artery was demonstrated. While angiography was being undertaken the hemodynamic status of the patient deteriorated, blood transfusion was started, and a selective embolization of the right hepatic artery was performed. The bleeding stopped promptly and hemodynamic stability was regained. The second case is that of a 40 year old pedestrian run over by a car. Abdominal ultrasound revealed free fluid in the peritoneal cavity and the patient was rushed to the O.R. Crushed right lobe of the liver, and inferior vena cava and bowel tears were found. After perihepatic packing and resection of the right and sigmoid colons retrohepatic vena cava tear was repaired and perihepatic packing restored. The abdominal cavity was closed and the patient was taken to the ICU for the correction of hypothermia, metabolic acidosis, and coagulopathy that had developed during the surgery. After 8 hours in the ICU the patient was transferred for angiography and a selective embolization of branches of the right hepatic artery was performed. The clinical course of the patients after angiographic embolization of the hepatic arteries is described and the literature that discusses the use of angiography and embolization of hepatic arteries after traumatic hepatic bleeding is reviewed.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To question the common practice of sending material for microbiological examination during appendicectomy for perforated appendixes. DESIGN Uncontrolled retrospective study. SETTING Teaching hospital, Israel. SUBJECTS 89 patients who had their perforated appendixes removed. INTERVENTIONS Appendicectomy and antibiotic treatment. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE Whether a change in antibiotic regimen was required after bacteriological identification of bacteria isolated during the operation. RESULTS In only 43 of the cultures (48%) taken during the operation were bacteria grown, and these were mainly Escherichia coli. In 65 patients (73%) there was no need to change the previously initiated antibiotic regimen, and in 23 (26%) it was changed purely on clinical grounds. In only one patient (1%) was the change the consequence of microbiological testing, as the organisms identified in 42 of the 43 cultures (98%) were sensitive to at least one of the antibiotics that had already been given. CONCLUSION The practice of culturing samples taken from a ruptured appendix is redundant, because the antibiotic that has already been initiated is effective in most of the patients and the decision to modify the therapeutic regimen is dominated by clinical considerations.

Abstract
Liver ischemia-reperfusion (IR) generates remote organ reperfusion injury attributable to oxidative mediators. We tested the protective properties of methylene blue (MB) on aortal dysfunction. An ex vivo rat liver-aortal ring model was used to study the results of aortal exposure to post-ischemia (IR) hepatic effluent and its response to phenylephrine and isosorbide dinitrate in the absence or presence of increasing concentrations of MB in the effluent. Aortal incubation with IR effluents resulted in abnormal contraction. Ring's response to the vasoactive drugs was abnormally weak both during and following this exposure. Return to stabilization tone was irregular. MB (1.28 mM) best avoided overall dysfunction; 0.86 mM was partially effective, and 0.42 mM was ineffective. Nitrite/nitrate levels were similar to controls in the only IR 1.28 mM perfusate. Liver IR interferes with aortal tone and its response to vasoactive drugs, probably via oxidative interaction with nitric oxide. MB reverses these effects in a dose-dependent fashion.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Circulating xanthine oxidase activity and the generated oxidants have been linked to lung reperfusion injury from no flow-reflow conditions in other organs after organ transplantation or surgery. N-acetyl-1-cysteine (NAC), an oxidant scavenger, promotes glutathione in its reduced form (GSH) that is depleted during ischemia. We have recently demonstrated its efficacy in protecting lungs from reperfusion injury if administered during reperfusion of postischemic liver. We now investigated whether preconditioning of lungs with NAC could attenuate lung respiratory or vascular derangement after no flow-reflow (ischemia-reperfusion, IR) and if this depends on lung GSH levels. METHODS Rat isolated livers were stabilized and perfused with modified Krebs-Henseleit solution (KH) (control, n=12) or made ischemic (no flow, IR-0, n=12) for 2 hr. Meanwhile, lungs were isolated, ventilated, and stabilized (KH+bovine albumin 5%). Serial perfusion (15 min) of liver+lung pairs took place followed by lung only recirculation (45 min) with the accumulated solution. Another three controls and three ischemic groups included lungs treated during stabilization with NAC at 100 mg x kg(-1), 150 or 225 mg x kg(-1) (in 2.5, 3.7 or 5.5 mmol solutions, respectively). Results. Ischemic liver damage, expressed by circulating hepatocellular constituents, was associated with pulmonary artery and ventilatory pressure increases by 70-100% of baseline, abnormal wet-to-dry weight ratio, and abnormal bronchoalveolar lavage volume and content in the IR-0 (nontreated) and the IR-100 and IR-225 pretreated lungs. NAC-150 pretreatment afforded preservation for most parameters. GSH content in the IR-150 lung tissue was only 11% higher than that of IR-225, but 2-fold that in IR-0 and IR-100 GSH lungs. CONCLUSION Lung preconditioning with NAC prevents reperfusion injury but not in a dose-related manner. Although enhanced GSH tissue content explains lung protection, GSH-independent NAC activity is another possibility.

Abstract
Nerve agents (NA) (tabun, sarin, suman, VX) have been stocked around the world for some time and still present a major threat to civilian as well as to military populations. Since NA can be delivered through both an aerial spray system and a ballistic system, victims could suffer both NA intoxication and multiple trauma necessitating urgent surgical intervention followed by intensive care. These patients can be expected to be extremely precarious neurologically, respiratorily and haemodynamically. Moreover, their clinical signs can be misleading. Further exacerbating the problem is the fact that interactions of NA with the pharmacological agents used for resuscitation and/or during anaesthesia can aggravate organ instability even more and possibly cause systemic collapse. There are no protocols for perioperative critical care and early assessment or for the administration of anaesthesia for surgical interventions in such combined multiple trauma and intoxicated casualties. We propose a scheme for the administration of critical care and anaesthesia based on the scant anecdotal reports that have emerged after the occurrence of local accidents involving NA intoxication and on the neuropharmacological knowledge of the pesticide organophosphate poisoning database, these compounds being related chemical substances.

Abstract
Penetrating injuries of the vertebral artery are not common. Although surgical control of this type of injury is well-documented, the combined approach (surgery and packing for temporary control of bleeding, followed by angiography and embolization for permanent control) is now recognized and practiced. We describe a 40-year-old man who was stabbed in the neck. He was rushed to the operating theater in hemorrhagic shock. A vertebral artery injury was identified and packed. Angiography and embolization permanently controlled the bleeding. The combined approach is safe and we recommend it in those in whom bleeding from the vertebral artery is initially well controlled with packing.

Abstract
A set of 424 nonmembrane proteins from Methanobacterium thermoautotrophicum were cloned, expressed and purified for structural studies. Of these, approximately 20% were found to be suitable candidates for X-ray crystallographic or NMR spectroscopic analysis without further optimization of conditions, providing an estimate of the number of the most accessible structural targets in the proteome. A retrospective analysis of the experimental behavior of these proteins suggested some simple relations between sequence and solubility, implying that data bases of protein properties will be useful in optimizing high throughput strategies. Of the first 10 structures determined, several provided clues to biochemical functions that were not detectable from sequence analysis, and in many cases these putative functions could be readily confirmed by biochemical methods. This demonstrates that structural proteomics is feasible and can play a central role in functional genomics.

Abstract
We report a case of a complete posterior urethral injury secondary to a penetrating gluteal injury. Posterior urethral injury usually occurs in male patients with pelvic trauma. The reported incidence of urethral injury with pelvic fracture ranges from 1.6% to 25% (mean 10%), with 66% of them being complete posterior urethral ruptures. Causes of posterior urethral disruptions include blunt trauma, such as occur in road traffic accidents or falls from heights, and high velocity penetrating and crush injuries. Penetrating gluteal injuries that cause posterior urethral damage are extremely rare. This report presents the first case of a complete urethral injury due to a gluteal stab wound. Furthermore, this case demonstrates that any sign of injury to the lower urinary tract, regardless of the cause or weapon implicated, warrants an immediate evaluation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND General pediatricians in Israel are actively involved in the initial evaluation, resuscitation and management of traumatized children. However, pediatric trauma care is not a part of pediatric specialty training in Israel, and the few Advanced Trauma Life Support courses per year are insufficient for most pediatricians working in accident and emergency care. OBJECTIVE To examine the value of the course in relation to the limited resources available for such training. METHODS A telephone survey of 115 pediatricians who had taken the course between 1990 and 1994 was conducted. The responding physicians (67%) were asked to complete a specially designed questionnaire on life-saving procedures that were taught in the course. In addition, they were asked to subjectively assess the practical utility of the course. RESULTS Forty-three (56%) pediatricians reported that they routinely treated both adult and pediatric trauma cases. Of these, 81% performed 27 life-saving ATLS procedures. Pediatric trauma was treated by only 22 (28%), of whom 72.3% performed 18 life-saving ATLS procedures. These pediatricians ranked the courses as being "very high" to "high" in impact. CONCLUSIONS These figures indicate that an ATLS course designed specifically for pediatricians can markedly improve pediatric trauma care. To ensure standard education and patient care, such a course should be developed and made a mandatory component of residency training. Further studies to examine the objective impact of the courses on pediatric trauma care should be carried out.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To find out if the ability of methylene blue given intraperitoneally to reduce surgically-induced adhesions in rats is concentration dependent. DESIGN Random, controlled prospective study. SETTING Teaching hospital, Israel. ANIMALS Seventy female Wistar rats. INTERVENTIONS Intraperitoneal adhesions were generated in rats by scraping the anterior wall of the uterine horn. They were then given either saline or serially diluted methylene blue intraperitoneally. Additional rats received identical treatments, but without the serosal damage. OUTCOME MEASURES Graded formation of adhesions, two weeks later. RESULTS In the rats treated with methylene blue 1%, adhesion formation was similar to that in sham operated rats and was significantly lower (p < 0.001) than in all other groups. CONCLUSION Methylene blue 1%, and to lesser degree 0.5%, had the best anti-adhesion potential. Lower methylene blue concentrations were only partially effective, and much high concentrations may cause adverse effects.

Abstract
Most patients with minor trauma following motor vehicle accidents (MVAs) are discharged from the emergency room (ER) of a trauma centre after evaluation and observation. Some return with similar or additional symptoms. This study aimed to determine which patients returned, if any injuries had been missed, and what should be the policy of medical management. We reviewed the records of 8836 patients with minor trauma following MVAs who were examined in an inner city trauma centre during 1997. When the group of patients who returned to the emergency room (n = 160) was compared with the whole post-MVA minor trauma group, the former was found to have more males (75.6% vs. 55.9%), younger age (36.31 years vs. 39.72 years), more motorcyclists than drivers, passengers and pedestrians ( p < 0.002, for the three variables), and had more multi-site injures. During the return visits the patients stayed longer in the emergency room, were examined by more consultants and had repeated radiological evaluations and tests, compared with the initial visit. However, in none of the patients was the initial diagnosis revised nor were additional injuries found and consequently the initial management was not changed in any of them. It is concluded that the initial thorough evaluation by the primary traumatologist is adequate for MVA patients with minor trauma. These patients do not require any follow up in specialized clinics, and are best managed in the community by their general practitioners.
