“…The study provided updated new results and important new observations of the occurrence and socio-psychological correlates of non-fatal injuries in in-school adolescents in the GSHS in four ASEAN countries in 2015. Results indicate a high annual prevalence of injury (36.9%) among school-going adolescents in four ASEAN countries, ranging from 16.8% in Laos and 29.6% in Indonesia to 49.3% in the Philippines and 39.6% in Thailand, which is similar to the annual injury prevalence (40%) in “47 low- and middle-income countries,”7 and lower than in 35 high-income countries (47%) 13. The high injury prevalence in the 2015 GSHS in the Philippines (49.3%) was similarly high as found in the 2007 (54.2%) and 2011 (54.3%) GSHS in the Philippines6 and the high injury prevalence in the 2015 GSHS Thailand (39.6%) was lower than in the 2008 GSHS in Thailand (46.8%) 4.…”

“…“Unintentional injuries are the largest source of premature morbidity and mortality and the leading cause of death among adolescents 10–19 years of age.”1 The South-East Asian region is disproportionally affected by the world’s unintentional injury-related deaths 2. The prevalence of past 12-month serious injuries among adolescents in “Association of Southeast Asian Member States (ASEAN)” was for example, in 20.1% in 2013 Cambodia,3 45.9% in 2008 in Indonesia,4 34.9% in 2012 in Malaysia,5 27.0% in 2007 in Myanmar,4 39.1% in 2003, 54.2% in 2007 and 54.3% in 2011 in the Philippines,6 46.8% in 2008 in Thailand4 and 29.7% in 2013 in Vietnam,3 while it was 40% (median) in “47 low- and middle-income countries.”7…”

Objectives: The study aimed to report the prevalence and socio-psychological correlates of non-fatal injury among school adolescents in four ASEAN countries. Materials and methods: Cross-sectional research data from the 2015 “Global School-based Health Survey (GSHS)” included 29,480 school adolescents (mean age 14.5 years, standard deviation=1.6) that were representative of all students in secondary school. Results: The proportion of participants with one or multiple serious past-year injuries was 36.9% (21.4% once and 15.4% multiple times). The most frequent cause of the reported injury was “I fell” (10.2%) and motor vehicle (5.8%) and the most common form of injury was “a broken bone or dislocated joint” (8.1%) and “cut, puncture or stab wound” (3.4%). In adjusted multinomial logistic regression analysis, male sex, experiencing hunger, substance use (alcohol, tobacco, cannabis, amphetamine and soft drinks), school truancy, participating in physical education classes and psychological distress were associated with one and/or multiple injuries. Parental or guardian support decreased the odds of one annual injury. Compared to students from Indonesia, students from Laos had a lower odd for injury and students from the Philippines and Thailand had higher odds for injury. Conclusion: Several variables, such as male sex, food insecurity, substance use, truancy, physical education and psychological distress, were identified that could be targeted in injury prevention programs in this school population.

“…The DOCTR fulfilled the data request by electronically searching the medical records of included encounters for written documentation of any of the following 7 terms in the admission history and physical: "firearm," "pistol," "gun," "handgun," "bullet," "ammunition," or "rifle." These terms were selected on the basis of previous work by Freundlich et al, 15 which referenced Google Trends to identify commonly used search terms for firearm and ammunition storage. For this study, we excluded the terms "weapon" and "ammo" because of a lack of specificity and presumed low likelihood of use in the medical record.…”

Firearms Screening in the Pediatric Inpatient Setting

Firearm-related deaths remain a top cause of mortality in American children and adolescents. In a 2012 policy statement, the American Academy of Pediatrics urged pediatricians to incorporate questions about the availability of firearms into their patient history taking. We aim to evaluate the frequency of screening for home firearms in an academic tertiary-care hospital inpatient setting. METHODS: This retrospective chart review examined patients with the following pediatric diagnoses admitted to a tertiary-care pediatric hospital from 2006 to 2015: asthma, bronchiolitis, cellulitis, jaundice, single liveborn infant, bacterial and viral pneumonia, and all mood disorders. Data analysts then searched the patient charts that met these inclusion criteria for documentation of firearm screening as indicated by use of the terms "firearm," "pistol," "gun," "handgun," "bullet," "ammunition," or "rifle" in the admissions history and physical. RESULTS: Evidence of screening for firearms in the home was found in 1196 of the 40 658 charts included in the study (2.94%). The most frequently screened diagnosis and admitting service were mood disorders and child psychiatry, respectively (1159 of 3107; 37.3%). Only 19.8% of identified gun-owning families received specific anticipatory guidance. CONCLUSIONS: Firearm screening and gun safety education occurred infrequently in the inpatient setting. Inpatient encounters may provide an opportunity for increased screening and education because the hospital environment also includes additional resources, exposure to a greater number of providers, and the presence of more family members or caregivers. Further studies are warranted to explore barriers to inpatient screening and possible mechanisms for improvement.

“…Traffic accidents, work and sporting injuries, degenerative diseases, and wars present immense orthopedic trauma burdens, most of which are bone and cartilage fractures that require reconstruction as well as rehabilitation 1,2. Other than accidental fractures, aging-related osteoporosis and autoimmune diseases such as arthritis are causes of bone defects and increase the chances of bone fractures 3.…”

Advancements and frontiers in nano-based 3D and 4D scaffolds for bone and cartilage tissue engineering

Given the enormous increase in the risks of bone and cartilage defects with the rise in the aging population, the current treatments available are insufficient for handling this burden, and the supply of donor organs for transplantation is limited. Therefore, tissue engineering is a promising approach for treating such defects. Advances in materials research and high-tech optimized fabrication of scaffolds have increased the efficiency of tissue engineering. Electrospun nanofibrous scaffolds and hydrogel scaffolds mimic the native extracellular matrix of bone, providing a support for bone and cartilage tissue engineering by increasing cell viability, adhesion, propagation, and homing, and osteogenic isolation and differentiation, vascularization, host integration, and load bearing. The use of these scaffolds with advanced three- and four-dimensional printing technologies has enabled customized bone grafting. In this review, we discuss the different approaches used for cartilage and bone tissue engineering.
