Clinical profile of chest injury a prospective observational study

Abstract

Background: Chest trauma is one of the most serious injuries leading to significant disability and mortality. Chest injury directly accounts to 20%-25% of all traumas related deaths in developed countries. Methods: This was a prospective observational study involving chest injury patients admitted in civil hospital, Solapur over the period of September 2013 to June 2015. Results: A total of 150 chest injury patients were studied out of 864 patients of chest injury during the said period. Males outnumbered females by a ratio of 5:1. Their ages ranged from 10 to 80 years (mean = 37.27 years). Majority of the patients (94.67%) sustained blunt injuries. RTA was the common mechanism of blunt injury affecting 59.86% of patients. Rib fracture was the commonest type of chest injury followed by pneumothorax, 88% and 62% respectively. Head injury was the commonest associated injury seen in 56% of patients. Majority of patients 66.67% were treated successfully with tube thoracostomy. The mean hospital stay was 8.97days with SD of 4.89 days. Mortality rate was 11.97%. Conclusions: Chest injury resulting from RTA remains a major mechanism of chest injury. A preventive measure, educating people about traffic rules and regulations and strictly implementing them is necessary to reduce incidence of chest injuries.

Comparing Sensitivity and Specificity of Ultrasonography With Chest Radiography in Detecting Pneumothorax and Hemothorax in Chest Trauma Patients: A Cross-Sectional Diagnostic Study

“…Most of the subjects were of the age group 21-40 years (41.6% in our study). This is similar to other studies because the breadwinner of the family will be of this age group and will be more involved in travelling [13,14].…”

3-Pyrazolines (2,3-dihydro-1H-pyrazoles): synthesis, reactivity, and physical and biological properties

“…39 These structures warrant further exploration. 40 The resulting pyrazolines 41 were characterized by IR and 1 H NMR spectroscopy but the position of the double bond remained ambiguous.…”

“…34 In the case of compound 170, the methyl signals of the methyl groups at positions 1 and 2 are, as expected, different with shifts of 27.63 and 28.23 ppm. 35 13 C NMR data for 3-pyrazolines have been reported in several recent papers, albeit without a detailed discussion 40,117 until an experimental and theoretical paper was published in 2021. 19 F NMR spectra Experimental data have not been published for 15 N NMR spectroscopy of 3-pyrazolines and only calculated values are available.…”

Electrochemical investigations of some newly synthesized arylazapyrazole derivatives

“…Being so composed and having pharmacological effects on humans, they are classified as alkaloids, although they are rare in nature. This rare class of alkaloids has widespread potential biological activities such as antimicrobial [1], antitubercular [2], and anti-inflammatory [3]. The pyrazole moiety makes up the core structure of numerous biologically active compounds.…”
