Review[Aeromedical evacuation of critically ill and injured patients].
The mission of aeromedical evacuation of patients, whether in peacetime, wartime or under unexpected conditions (earthquake, flood etc) will remain the same. Aeromedical evacuation systems have become an integral part of the practice of critical care medicine. These systems provide interhospital transport of critically ill or severely injured patients. Understanding the medical aspects of flights and the capabilities of the aeromedical environment will help to evacuate patients in a safe and a proper manner.

Rectus sheath hematomas are uncommon and are being caused by the injuries of the epigastric vessels and the rectus muscle. They are usually located infraumblically and often misdiagnosed as inflammatory diseases or tumours of the abdomen. We present a 70-year-old woman who had complaints of severe abdominal pain on the left side, nausea and vomiting after heavy lifting. ⋯ The patient recovered uneventfully after bed rest, intravenous fluid replacement, blood transfusion and analgesic treatment. Computerized tomography must be chosen for definitive diagnosis. Ideal treatment is conservative.

[Evaluation of surgical methods in patients with blunt liver trauma].
We evaluated the surgical methods, morbidity and mortality in patients who had surgery for blunt liver trauma. ⋯ DSO, and RD methods don't increase operation time and amount of blood transfusion. They cause less morbidity and mortality when compared to DMS.

[Assessment of physicians employed in emergency medical services about their level of knowledge on basic life support, advanced cardiac life support and medicolegal responsibilities].
We aimed to determine the level of knowledge of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) physicians on Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) and medicolegal responsibilities in conjunction with related factors. ⋯ In-service training should be undertaken to raise the level of knowledge of the physicians employed in rural EMS and to improve the quality of field care.

An ultrastructural study on indirect trauma of dental pulp caused by maxillofacial impact injury in dogs.
Indirect injuries of adjacent tissues and organs usually accompany maxillofacial impact injuries. However, studies on indirect dental pulp injury are rare. This study was designed to determine the characteristics of indirect dental pulp injury caused by impact injury of mandible in dogs. ⋯ In the indirect injury of dental pulp caused by maxillofacial impact injury, the injured area is relatively extensive. The effect of the trauma decreases progressively and sharply as the distance to the impact site increases. Ultrastructural changes in the damaged nerves take place early.
