Ray Pace takes the lead this month as the crew talks adult trauma topics with, Dr. Glen Tinkoff, System Chief, Trauma and Acute Care Surgery at University Hospitals.  In this first episode of the series, Dr. Tinkoff reflects on how he came to find Trauma Surgery as a specialty including his early life as a first responder. The group discusses the varied capabilities of trauma center levels and the Golden Hour.

In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Tanya Zakrison, MD, PhD, Professor of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery and Director of Critical Trauma Research at the University of Chicago Medical Center. Her work focuses on the connection between interpersonal trauma, critical race theory and racial capitalism. In this podcast, Dr. Zakrison shares how her personal experiences in young adulthood helped her make connections between violence experienced in the United States and global patterns of violence resulting from capitalism and colonial histories. She describes how structural, cultural and social violence causes the trauma-based violence we experience locally, nationally and globally. She describes the incessant gun violence in the U.S., especially affecting schoolchildren, as a critical problem that requires attention beyond making arrests and treating the physical wounds of the victims. Dr. Zakrison points out how we have normalized abnormality in the U.S. through the culture of individualism and social violence. She introduces the concept of “hate” as a public health disease and discusses the importance of deep understanding of history as a means to disrupt cycles of hate. In this broad-ranging discussion, we also explore the importance of medical-legal partnerships and their role in supporting victims of violence, framing them as one methodology for violence prevention as well.In discussing her work on firearm violence, Dr. Zakrison shared a poignant experience of being told as a scientist in the United States that she was not allowed to ask a particular question, highlighting the contrast between legislation such as the Dickey Amendment and our national ideals of freedom. She recommended building bridges of solidarity, joy, love and communal support systems to counteract the effects of discrimination, exclusion, and hate. At personal level, she encouraged us to use our power to help people develop their human potential so that we can all benefit from the genius that everyone holds inside themselves.Some of Dr. Zakrison's work can be found here:https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28922206https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30484899/https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35300858/Link to Practical Radicals: https://thenewpress.com/books/practical-radicals

In this episode by the Emergency General Surgery team, we explore the inevitable in acute care surgery- complications. Once a taboo subject, we are now beginning to understand how surgeons and care teams are affected when things don't go as planned. The team discusses two articles that explore the impact of surgical complications on surgeons, both in the short and long term, as well as ways to rehabilitate and support surgeons when they face a challenging complication. Drawing on the article, as well as personal experience, this episode works towards the ongoing shift in surgical culture around outcomes and supports improved surgeon wellness.  Hosts Dr. Ashlie Nadler Dr. Jordan Nantais,  Dr. Graham Skelhorne-Gross Dr. Marika Sevigny References Zhu A, Deng S, Greene B, Tsang M, Palter VN, Jayaraman S.

In this episode we discuss trauma airway management with Doc Godfrey (CricEm if you got ‘em). Doc sits down with us as we look at a paper from The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery which discusses prehospital definitive airway not being associated with improved survival in trauma patients. Trauma airway management is complicated, but it doesn't necessarily need to be… We talk about how to best utilize your clinical skills and assessment along with BLS and basic airway adjuncts as well as medical direction's role and the effectiveness of appropriate training. Great chat and as always, we appreciate Doc CricEm (Godfrey) for coming on to talk with us to provide everyone with some quality evidence-based guidelines for airway management.

In this “journal club” edition of the podcast, we are joined by the thoughtful trauma guru Dr. Hameed to talk about his paper in the Canadian Journal of Surgery (CJS). This paper, authored by Drs. Ball, Lee, Kaminsky, and Hameed gets at the “heart” of both the decision-making and technical aspects of treating penetrating cardiac injuries.

He completed medical school and surgical residency at the University of Alberta, graduate studies in public health at Harvard University, and fellowships in Trauma Surgery and Surgical Critical Care at the University of Miami. He spent 3 years on the surgical faculty at the University of Calgary, before moving to Vancouver. He is the Head of the UBC and VGH Division of General Surgery and is a Service Chief for Acute Care Surgery at VGH. He also chairs the Research Committee of the Trauma Association of Canada, and is the immediate past chair of the Canadian Association of General Surgeons Committee on Acute Care Surgery. His research focuses on systems of trauma care and acute care surgery. Dr. Hameed's research teams have received grants from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, the Michael Smith Foundation for Health Research, and other funding agencies for their work on disparities in injury risk and access to trauma systems in Canada. The development of promising partnerships with trauma investigators at the University of Cape Town has recently extended this work to South Africa.

In a continuing series focused on vascular surgery, host Rick Greene, MD, FACS, talks to vascular surgeon Marie L. Crandall MD, MPH, FACS, about venous thromboembolism. Dr. Crandall is Professor and Associate Chair, Research; Chief, Division of Acute Care Surgery; Program Director, General Surgery Residency, Department of Surgery, University of Florida Jacksonville. *Addendum from Dr. Crandall: “The timing of VTE prophylaxis after neurosurgical intervention for TBI can be challenging.  However, this JAMA Surg retrospective cohort study demonstrated that prophylaxis before 72hrs was associated with greater risk of reintervention and mortality and after 72 hours was associated with greater risk of VTE but not mortality.  This suggests that perhaps 3 days would be safest balance for most patients after neurosurgical intervention for TBI.”  Learn more about Selected Readings in General Surgery, an American College of Surgeons publication that highlights highly relevant and practice-changing information from the world's most prominent medical journals.  #SurgicalReadings

One reason for this is that the cancer turns the body's defenses against itself. However, new research from Nagoya University published in Matrix Biology suggests that vitamin D can effectively prevent one of the key pathways used by this cancer. Ovarian cancer often undergoes a process called peritoneal metastasis. In this process, its cells detach from their primary site in the ovary and travel to a secondary implantation site, such as the peritoneal wall or diaphragm. The peritoneum defends against this process using a barrier consisting of mesothelial cells, which prevent the adhesion of cancer cells and limit their spread. However, ovarian cancer gets around this defense by transforming the protective mesothelial cells into cancer-associated mesothelial cells. This creates an environment that helps metastasis, assisting the spread of cancer around the body. (Next) Herbal supplement shows promise against lung cancer University of Technology at Sydney Berberine, a natural compound found in plants such as barberry and goldenseal, suppresses the proliferation of lung cancer cells in the lab, new research shows. It also reduces airway inflammation and damage to healthy lung cells exposed to chemicals from cigarette smoke. The evaluation of berberine's effect on non-small cell lung cancer has just been published in the journal Pharmaceutics. It shows that berberine exhibits potent anticancer activity, suppressing cancer cell growth in vitro. The study follows research recently published in Antioxidants, also led by Dr. Dua, showing berberine can inhibit oxidative stress, and reduce inflammation and cellular senescence induced by cigarette smoke extract in lab-grown human healthy lung cells. (Next) N-acetylcysteine could improve concussion recovery Midwestern University (Arizona) A study reported on April 8, 2022, in The Journal of Trauma and Acute Care Surgery revealed improvement in symptoms of concussion among older men and women with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) who received supplements containing the antioxidant amino acid N-acetylcysteine (NAC). Free radicals produced following brain injury react with lipids to create toxic molecules within the first hours following a traumatic brain injury. Dr McPherson and his associates suggested that the damage caused by these molecules could be responsible for the symptoms that occur after a concussion and that the use of compounds such as NAC could help mitigate some of these symptoms. The study included 65 traumatic brain injury patients of an average age of 76 years who were within three hours of trauma surgery service evaluation. Thirty-four patients received standard treatments for TBI plus 4 grams NAC within three hours of injury, followed by a 3-day period during which 2 grams NAC was administered twice per day and an additional 3 days during which 1.5 grams NAC was provided twice daily. The remainder of the participants received standard treatment alone. Questionnaires that evaluated post-concussion symptoms were administered at the beginning of the study and at 7 and 30 days. Questionnaire scores were significantly better in the NAC group on days 7 and 30. (Next) Ozone antiseptic shows potential for treating severe gum infections Research SEA (Japan) A powerful new antiseptic agent, called ozone nanobubble water, holds promise for the treatment of periodontitis, or severe gum infections, according to research published in the journal Science and Technology of Advanced Materials. The study, by Professor Shinichi Arakawa and colleagues, evaluated the bactericidal activities of ozone nano-bubble water — also known as NBW3 — against the two main bacterial agents that cause periodontitis. It also assessed NBW3's toxicity to human oral tissue cells. Their results showed that NBW3 can kill periodontal pathogens within 30 seconds of exposure, yet has only a minor impact on the viability of oral tissue cells after 24 hours of exposure. Based on their in vitro results, the researchers conclude that NBW3 could become a valuable tool for treating periodontitis. (Next) Eating a Mediterranean diet could cut womb cancer risk Institute of Pharmacological Research (Italy) Women who eat a Mediterranean diet could cut their risk of womb cancer by more than half (57 per cent), according to a study published in the British Journal of Cancer*. The Italian researchers looked at the diets of over 5,000 Italian women to see how closely they stuck to a Mediterranean diet and whether they went on to develop womb cancer**. The team broke the Mediterranean diet down into nine different components and measured how closely women stuck to them. The diet includes eating lots of vegetables, fruits and nuts, pulses, cereals and potatoes, fish, monounsaturated fats but little meat, milk and other dairy products and moderate alcohol intake. Researchers found that women who adhered to the Mediterranean diet most closely by eating between seven and nine of the beneficial food groups lowered their risk of womb cancer by more than half (57 per cent). Those who stuck to six elements of the diet's components reduced their risk of womb cancer by 46 per cent and those who stuck to five reduced their risk by a third (34 per cent). But those women whose diet included fewer than five of the components did not lower their risk of womb cancer significantly.

When we think about regionalization of care, particularly in the setting of trauma, we often think about triage being done from a lower to a higher tier center. Today on the show we are joined by Dr. Maria Baimas-George to hear about the benefits of doing things the other way round. Dr. Baimas-George is currently a PGY 4 categorical general surgery resident at Carolinas Medical Center Atrium Health in Charlotte, North Carolina. She has been very active from a research and publication standpoint, and her recent paper, ‘Emergency general surgery transfer to lower acuity facility: The role of right-sizing care in EGS regionalization' was selected as the best of EGS paper for the JTACS 2022 January edition. In this paper, Dr. Baimas-George evaluates a 16-month experience of a five-surgeon team triaging EGS patients at Carolinas Medical Center, a tertiary care, Level I trauma center to an affiliated community hospital 1.3 miles away. In this episode, we hear about how this practice evolved at CMC and the role COVID played as well as the benefits it has yielded in terms of expedited patient care, resource capacity, and more. Key Points From This Episode: An intro to Dr. Baimas-George, her education, residency, and research contributions. How Dr. Baimas-George came up with her triage program and the role COVID played. Why Dr. Baimas-George's transfer program was a good use of resources. The short transfer times that have been achieved and how this was accomplished. Criteria used to triage patients from the ER in virtual consultations. Determining whether performing Surgery will be faster at CMC or Mercy. Whether there were issues of inappropriate transfer or under/over-triaging. Other key outcomes measured such as cost, operative minutes, and bed day savings. Opening up space for more complex surgeries at the main hospital by shuttling less acute cases to the community hospital. Other benefits such as solving care discontinuity, faster disposition, and more.

More than 200 000 individuals in the US develop acute cholecystitis annually. The majority of these cases are caused by gallstones blocking the cystic duct. However, about 5% to 10% of people with acute cholecystitis have acalculous cholecystitis. JAMA Associate Editor Kristin Walter, MD, MS, discusses the recent JAMA article “Acute Cholecystitis: A Review” with one of the authors, JAMA Associate Editor Anthony Charles, MD, MPH, who is Chief of the Division of Trauma, Critical Care and Acute Care Surgery, Director of the ECMO program, and Director of Global Surgery at University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.
