Pelvic fractures are severe traumatic injuries often accompanied by potentially fatal massive bleeding. Rapid control of hemorrhages in prehospital emergency settings is critical for improving outcomes in traumatic bleeding. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is a promising technique for controlling active bleeding from pelvic fractures. ⋯ This paper provides a comprehensive overview of the initial management of noncompressive trunk hemorrhage caused by pelvic fractures, introduces the technical principles and developments of REBOA, and explores its extensive application in prehospital emergency care. It delves into the operational details and outlines strategies for effectively managing potential complications. We aim to offer a theoretical framework for the future utilization of REBOA in managing uncontrollable hemorrhage associated with pelvic fractures in prehospital emergencies.

Multicenter Study Observational Study
Clinical Implications and Risk Factors of Dilatation of Remnant Pancreatic Duct at 1 Year After Pancreatoduodenectomy: A Prospective, Japanese, Multicenter, Observational Cohort Study (DAIMONJI-Study).
To determine the precise frequency of main pancreatic duct (MPD) dilatation within the remnant pancreas at 1 year after pancreatoduodenectomy (PD) and its clinical implications, a prospective multicenter cohort study was performed in patients without MPD dilatation before PD (registry number: UMIN000029662). ⋯ MPD dilatation at 1 year after PD was seen in 21.7% of patients and significantly associated with exocrine function impairment but not with endocrine function, nutrition status, or development of fatty liver.

To evaluate outcomes after primary surgery (PS) or neoadjuvant treatment followed by surgery (NAT/S) in cT2 staged adenocarcinomas of the esophagus (EAC) and gastroesophageal junction (GEJ), a multinational high-volume center study was undertaken. ⋯ Due to the unreliable identification of cT2N0 disease, all patients should be offered a multimodal therapeutic approach.

Multicenter Study
Characterization of Pediatric Infratentorial Arteriovenous Malformations: A Retrospective, Multicenter Cohort Study.
Infratentorial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) harbor different characteristics compared with supratentorial AVMs. This study aims to explore the unique characteristics of pediatric infratentorial AVMs and their response to single session stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS). ⋯ Despite baseline differences between infratentorial and supratentorial pediatric AVMs, SRS outcomes, including AVM obliteration and post-SRS hemorrhage rates, were comparable amongst both groups. SRS appears to have a similar risk profile and therapeutic benefit to infratentorial pediatric AVMs as it does for those with a supratentorial location.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the clinical application of three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (DWI) in transient ischemic attacks. Methods: Forty patients with transient cerebral ischemia in our hospital were selected and included from July 2020 to March 2022. All subjects were detected by DWI and 3D-ASL technology. ⋯ There was a significant difference in the attack frequency of patients with transient cerebral ischemia with different perfusion ( P < 0.05). There was a significant difference in attack frequency between patients with transient ischemic attack and patients without vascular stenosis ( P < 0.05). Conclusion: 3D-ASL and DWI technology have higher diagnostic efficiency for transient cerebral ischemia.
