    Typically the result of car accidents, crush injuries and falls, a multiple trauma incident can require extensive medical treatment and attentive medical management. [paradigmcorp.com]

  • Unconsciousness

    Nevertheless, the main reason for unconsciousness in patients with multiple injuries is TBI, since only 9% of these patients had another reason for unconsciousness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A complete revision of the first edition, this book presents the most current concepts of chiropractic diagnostic workup, injury mechanisms, patient management, and prognosis of cervical and soft tissue injuries caused by automobile crashes. [books.google.com]

Treatment

This study reviewed randomized and nonrandomized studies that (1) compared early and delayed treatment or early treatment and DCO and (2) reported the incidence of ARDS, mortality rate, or LOS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis

Abstract PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to study the use of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) for the prognosis of multiple organ dysfunction (MOF) after multiple traumas. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

A complete revision of the first edition, this book presents the most current concepts of chiropractic diagnostic workup, injury mechanisms, patient management, and prognosis of cervical and soft tissue injuries caused by automobile crashes. [books.google.com]

The currently popular indices of injury severity do not define multiple trauma but do provide a formula to relate the magnitude of injury to the prognosis of the patient. [link.springer.com]

Etiology

Inflammatory pseudotumor is a rare disease, that is regarded as a benign reactive inflammatory process, although its etiology and pathogenesis are still unknown. [iris.univr.it]

Epidemiology
