Gunshot wounds: A review of ballistics related to penetrating trauma
Publication date: 2014 Source:Journal of Acute Disease, Volume 3, Issue 3 Author(s): Panagiotis K. Stefanopoulos , Georgios F. Hadjigeorgiou , Konstantinos Filippakis , Dimitrios Gyftokostas Civilian gunshot injuries from handgun and rifle ammunition vary in severity depending on the anatomic location involved and the different effects from the ballistic properties of the penetrating projectiles. Ballistic factors such as the impact velocity and energy should not be considered in isolation, as their specific effects are determined by the interaction between the projectile and tissues. Increased tissue damage can re...

Compartment syndromes
Publication date: 2014 Source:Journal of Acute Disease, Volume 3, Issue 3 Author(s): Aly Saber Body compartments bound by fascia and limited by bony backgrounds are found in the extremities, buttocks, abdomen and thoracic cavity; conditions that cause intracompartmental swelling and hypertension can lead to ischemia and limb loss. Although compartment syndromes are described in all body regions from head to toe, the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention are best characterized for three key body regions: the first is extremity, the second is abdominal, and the third is thoracic compartment syndromes. Thoracic ...
