The Trauma Pro

AUGUST 25, 2023

I am trying to figure out how I missed it! The Eastern Association for the Surgery of Trauma (EAST) snuck a new practice management guideline into the Injury journal last fall. And it desperately tries to answer a question that has been hanging around for several years. Do we vaccinate spleen injury patients who undergo angioembolization or not? I’ve been pondering this for some time and have reached my own conclusion based on some very old literature.

Researchers at the Mount Sinai Hospital have developed an mRNA-based treatment for cancer. The approach combines the delivery of mRNA therapy in lipid nanoparticles and also involves co-delivering dendritic cells that have also been primed through treatment with lipid-encased mRNA. The technology aims to overcome some of the immune evasive tricks that tumors use to circumvent the immune system, some of which can hamper more traditional immunotherapies.

Scientists at New York University have developed a gene therapy for chronic pain. The technology works by targeting the NaV1.7 sodium ion channel present on neurons, which is an important component of the pain response. The researchers encoded a version of a peptide that allows a modulatory protein, called CRMP2, to bind to NaV1.7 sodium ion channels and modulate their activity.

LumaFlo , a medtech company based in Israel, has developed a decontamination technology that does not require UV light, something that can be dangerous for people nearby. The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the need for safe and effective decontamination technologies for both public spaces and healthcare facilities. However, many such technologies rely on UV light to kill pathogens, but this can also have negative effects on those exposed.

Case A critically ill patient presents to the emergency department (ED) requiring an emergent, definitive airway. While preparing to perform the endotracheal intubation with video laryngoscopy, you remember a randomized controlled trial (RCT) recently suggesting etomidate could increase mortality if used as the induction agent. Background Etomidate has been a popular induction agent for critically ill patients for more than a decade.
