Characteristics of injury mechanisms in children and differences between urban and rural areas in central China.
Some studies lack detailed analyses of the differences and characteristics of pediatric injury mechanisms between urban and rural areas. ⋯ Our findings revealed that in different age groups, the injury mechanisms are different in urban and rural areas. Burns are the second leading cause of trauma in children. A decrease in pediatric trauma over the past 10 years indicates targeted measures and preventive intervention may effectively prevent pediatric trauma.

Does the timing of surgery affect outcomes in young and middle-aged patients undergoing surgical stabilization of rib fractures? Feedback was based on real data from physicians, patients, and family caregivers.
There is a general clinical consensus that early surgical stabilization of rib fractures (SSRF, ≤ 48-72 h after admission) can benefit patients, and this is only regarding the surgeon's opinions. This study assessed the true outcomes of young and middle-aged patients at different surgical timings. ⋯ From the experience of our institution's SSRF, early surgery is safe and offers additional potential benefits for young and middle-aged patients and families with isolated rib fractures.

Assessing lower extremity loading during activities of daily living using continuous-scale physical functional performance 10 and wireless sensor insoles: a comparative study between younger and older adults.
This study aims to investigate the lower extremity loading during activities of daily living (ADLs) using the Continuous Scale of Physical Functional Performance (CS-PFP 10) test and wireless sensor insoles in healthy volunteers. ⋯ The use of wireless sensor insoles in a laboratory setting can effectively measure the load on the lower extremities during ADLs. These findings could offer valuable insights for developing tailored recommendations for patients with partial weight-bearing restrictions.
