Necrotizing Enterocolitis Following Gastroschisis Repair: An Update, Rachel K. Schlueter, Shahab F. Abdessalam, Stephen C. Raynor, Robert A. Cusick
Graduate Medical Education Research Journal
Purpose:
Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a known complication of gastroschisis with an incidence above the expected rate in the neonatal population. While many physicians today are aware of this association, the last publication to explore this association in detail and identify possible risk factors of NEC in gastroschisis patients was published over twenty years ago. From our large database of patients with gastroschisis managed by a single group of pediatric surgeons, we reviewed our experience and the recent literature to update what is known about gastroschisis and NEC.
Methods:
From 2001 to 2017, a gastroschisis registry was maintained. Data from …

A Retrospective Study At Two Level One Trauma Centers On The Association Of Internal Injuries With Femoral Fractures, Ryan E. Miller, Catherine Olinger, Leonid Grossman, Dennis Chakkalakal, Karl Bergmann, Elizabeth Lyden, Justin Siebler
Graduate Medical Education Research Journal
Abstract: Injuries capable of fracturing the femur often involve concurrent internal organ damage. However, up to 25% of injuries are initially missed. Prior studies evaluating the association of femur fractures with internal injury included only automobile trauma, were skewed toward more severe injuries, and were broad database studies. To our knowledge, there are no studies of this kind that include bicycle, motorcycle, and motor vehicle-pedestrian trauma, excluding those deceased at the scene, and which included chart reviews. We hypothesized that in the trauma setting, the presence of a femur fracture would correlate with an increase in concomitant internal organ injuries. …
