..The first two registries collected data for a finite period of time and the third is underway. The steps taken to establish these registries depend on whether the registry is intended as a single-center or multi-center registry...

..We aimed to study the effects of seat belt usage on injury patterns and outcomes of restrained vehicle occupants compared with unrestrained occupants after RTCs...

..The aim of this paper is to report on the long term effects of our early analysis of this registry...

..Postoperatively, the patient had temporary urinary retention due to quada equina injury which resolved 10 months after surgery. The presence of a seatbelt sign and a lumbar fracture should raise the possibility of a bowel injury...

..We aimed to prospectively study the incidence, detailed mechanism and anatomical distribution of hospitalized vascular trauma patients following road traffic collisions in a high-income developing country...

..We aimed to evaluate an interactive problem-solving approach for teaching traumatology from perspectives of students and consider its implications on Faculty development...

..Another gastrograffin study conducted five days later showed normal results. Bedside ultrasonography thus proved to be useful for both the diagnosis and management of superior mesenteric artery syndrome...

..The objective of this study was to study the clinical course and outcome of warfarinised patients who were hospitalised because of head trauma...

..This study was aimed at evaluating the pattern of instructional skills of surgical tutors in a university hospital and the effect of feedback on this pattern...

..None of the studied variables affected the injury severity score. The mechanism of the horse-related injuries and their complexity significantly affected the duration of hospital stay but not the injury severity score...

..Surgeons should be encouraged to use point-of-care ultrasound after appropriate training...

..This article summarizes the content of the course; the evaluation of the participants and their recommendations...

..The abdomen was closed primarily on day 6. The patient was discharged home on day 50. Life-threatening delayed retroperitoneal bleeding may occur suddenly two weeks after trauma causing ACS...

..Although seatbelts were recognized as an important safety measure, it still remains underused in many countries. Enforcement of seatbelt usage by law is mandatory so as to reduce the toll of death of road traffic collisions...

..Bacterial culture of the fluid was negative. The patient dramatically improved after aspiration; 3 months later the patient was asymptomatic and follow-up abdominal ultrasound has shown complete resolution of the cyst...

..This study aims to evaluate the magnitude, mechanism, distribution and outcome of bicycle-related injuries managed at the Emergency Department, Al-Ain Hospital, United Arab Emirates...

..The aim of this study was to evaluate our recent clinical management of mesenteric vascular occlusion (MVO) at Al-Ain Hospital, United Arab Emirates...

..Research can help us find solutions for this problem. We evaluated the published literature on trauma from United Arab Emirates to define research areas which need improvement...

..To study the mechanism, management and outcome of patients who had sustained pancreatic trauma...

..25 and 0.01, respectively. An acute AP radiograph of the pelvis is not useful in detecting a fracture of iliac wing or os sacrum...

..Both patients recovered well. Surgical and non-surgical methods can be safely used after careful consideration of the patient's clinical, radiological and endoscopic findings...

..Some of these injuries are self-inflicted or caused by criminal assault, leading to delayed presentation. We aimed to study the causes, clinical presentation, management and clinical outcome of transanal rectal injuries...

..Clinical examples of road traffic collision patients will highlight the value of understanding biomechanics in patient management...

..Solitary lateral cervical cystic mass is an uncommon presentation of papillary thyroid carcinoma...

..Microscopical examination of the mass was consistent with actinomycosis. The postoperative period was uneventful and the patient recovered completely. The patient received penicillin for six months...

..It provides an early indication of performance, and highlights difficulties in individual performance...

..To evaluate peritoneal resorption capacity for lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in a model of chemical peritonitis...

..026; (median (range) 3 (2-4) compared with 4 (2-5)). CONCLUSIONS: This study showed that specific actions can improve the educational quality of the morbidity mortality meeting...

..The patient was followed up for 24 months postoperatively and had symptomatic relief. Our case demonstrates the slow-growing nature of this tumour and the usefulness of palliative surgery despite large tumour load...

..To analyze the usefulness of chest and scapular trauma radiographs, axial computed tomography (CT), and two- and three-dimensional (2D and 3D) reconstruction CT in detecting fractures of the six anatomical regions of the scapula...
