“…In 47 (32%) articles, acceptance was after at least one revision, the mean time (in days) between submission and revision was 11.5 ± 16.3 (median was 3, the range was from 0 to 69), the mean time between revision and acceptance was 2.4 ± 4.2 (median was 1, the range was from 0 to 20). The longest article in the peer-review process (spent 74 days from submission to acceptance) was from China 8 ; however, most of the time (69 days) was spent during the revision process (which may give the impression that the delay was from the authors’ side). In 127 (86.4%) articles, the review process took 30 days or less, 15 (10.2%) of the 147 articles were accepted within the first day of submission, 29 (61.7%) of the 47 revised articles were accepted within the first day of submitting the revised version.…”

This study's primary objective is to evaluate the time spent in the peer-review process for orthopaedic publications related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The secondary objective is to evaluate the countries' and journals' contributions in these publications. Materials and methods: We carried a search on August 1st, 2020, in one database (PubMed) using limited search terms to identify the orthopaedic publications related to the Covid-19 pandemic. After a filtration process, we evaluated the eligible article to identify the prevalence of different articles types, different countries, and journal contributions in these publications. The evaluation of the time spent in the peerreview process was done by obtaining the submission and acceptance dates. Results: Of the 231 articles eligible for initial assessment, review articles were the most common article type published (51%), 48 countries published articles in a unique 78 journals. Evaluation of the peerreview process in 147 articles revealed that the mean time from submission to acceptance was 14.3 ± 15.8 days (range from 0 to 74), the peer-review process took less than 30 days in 127 (86.4%) articles, 15 (10.2%) articles were accepted within the first day of submission. Conclusion: Orthopaedic community contributed significantly to the publications related to the Covid-19 pandemic, with a contribution from many countries and journals. The peer-review process was notably shortened for some articles.

“…The surgical method should choose a simple and fast operation method to shorten the operation time and reduce the risk of intraoperative exposure. We prefer laparotomy should follow the principle of injury control[ 26 ]. Laparoscopic surgery can also be selected according to the needs of the disease and pneumoperitoneum and aerosol management should be performed during the operation.…”

BACKGROUND Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 has been confirmed to be a newly discovered zoonotic pathogen that causes highly contagious viral pneumonia, which the World Health Organization has named novel coronavirus pneumonia. Since its outbreak, it has become a global pandemic. During the outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), however, there is no mature experience or guidance on how to carry out emergency surgery for suspected cases requiring emergency surgical intervention and perioperative safety protection against virus. CASE SUMMARY A 41-year-old man was admitted to the hospital for emergency treatment due to "3-d abdominal pain aggravated with cessation of exhaust and defecation". After improving inspections and laboratory tests, the patient was assessed and diagnosed by the multiple discipline team as "strangulation obstruction, pulmonary infection”. His body temperature was 38.8 °C, and the chest computed tomography showed pulmonary infection. Given fever and pneumonia, we could not rule out COVID-19 after consultation by fever clinicians and respiratory experts. Hence, we performed emergency surgery under three-level protection for the suspected case. After surgery, his nucleic acid test for COVID-19 was negative, meaning COVID-19 was excluded, and routine postoperative treatment and nursing was followed. The patient was treated with symptomatic support after the operation. The stomach tube and urinary tube were removed on the 1 st d after the operation. The clearing diet was started on the 3 rd d after the operation, and the body temperature returned to normal. Flatus and bowel movements were noted on 5 th postoperative day. He was discharged after 8 d of hospitalization. The patient was followed up for 4 mo after discharge, no serious complications occurred. A 71-year-old woman was admitted to our emergency room due to "abdominal distention, fatigue for 6 d and fever for 13 h". After the multiple discipline team evaluation, the patient was diagnosed as "intestinal obstruction, abdominal mass, peritonitis and pulmonary infection". At that time, the patient's body temperature was 39.6 °C, and chest computed tomography indicated pulmonary infection. COVID-19 could not be completely excluded after consultation in the fever outpatient department and respiratory department. Therefore, the patient was treated as a suspected case, and an urgent operation was performed under three-level medical protection. Postoperative nucleic acid test was negative, COVID-19 was excluded, and routine postoperative treatment and nursing were followed. After the operation, the patient received symptomatic and supportive treatment. The gastric tube was removed on the 1 st d after the operation, and the urinary tube was removed on the 3 rd d after the operation. Enteral nutrition began on the 3 rd ...

“…Neurorestorative treatments require close cooperation between treating specialists. Regional spinal cord injury centers with a specialized multidisciplinary SCI team compris-ing representatives from emergency medicine, orthopedics, neurosurgery, general surgery, intensive care medicine, radiology, neurology, anesthesiology, and others should be established [34][35][36][37][38].…”

Treatment of spinal cord injury (SCI) remains challenging. Considering the rapid developments in neurorestorative therapies for SCI, we have revised and updated the Clinical Therapeutic Guidelines for Neurorestoration in Spinal Cord Injury (2016 Chinese version) of the Chinese Association of Neurorestoratology (Preparatory) and China Committee of International Association of Neurorestoratology. Treatment of SCI is a systematic multimodal process that aims to improve survival and restore neurological function. These guidelines cover real-world comprehensive neurorestorative management of acute, subacute, and chronic SCI and include assessment and diagnosis, pre-hospital first aid, treatment, rehabilitation, and complication management.
