BACKGROUND: Acute traumatic coagulopathy (ATC) is a well-described phenomenon known to begin shortly after injury. This has profound implications for resuscitation from hemorrhagic shock, as ATC is associated with increased risk for massive transfusi...
BACKGROUND: The debate of whether to centralize hepato-pancreato-biliary surgery has been ongoing. The principal objective was to compare outcomes of a community pancreatic surgical program with those of high-volume academic centers.
Rapid detection of intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) is crucial for assessing patients with neurological symptoms. Prioritising these urgent scans for reporting presents a challenge for radiologists. Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a solution to ena...
