TL;DR: In this article, a Go/No-Go task was used to determine the factor structure of executive functioning in head-injured (n = 81) and normal children, and the results showed that age had a significant effect on Factor 1, 2, and 5, whereas severity of CHI affected Factor 2,2,4 and 5.
Admission ASIA motor score predicting the need for tracheostomy after cervical spinal cord injury.
TL;DR: Lower admission ASIA motor score and “complete” cSCI are significantly associated with the need for tracheostomy, and classification of incomplete patients by AIS indicates that ASia motor score may be used as a surrogate for grade of injury.

Dale J. Yeatts,Richard P. Dutton,Peter Hu,Yu-Wei Wayne Chang,Clayton H. Brown,Hegang Chen,Thomas E. Grissom,Joseph A. Kufera,Thomas M. Scalea +8 more
TL;DR: A smaller subgroup of severe head injury trauma patients identified retrospectively seemed to be associated with a greater incidence of hypoxia of 80% or less and mortality and was associated with longer intubation times than direct laryngoscope.
On equal footing: Trends in ankle/foot injuries for men vs. women.
TL;DR: Significant declines in A/F injuries have been noted in recent years, especially for women, whose risks are now similar to those for men, but significant risk factors remain for each gender, primarily related to body habitus (BMI) and toepan intrusion.

Carl A. Soderstrom,Carlo C. DiClemente,Patricia C. Dischinger,J. Richard Hebel,David R. McDuff,Kimberly M. Auman,Joseph A. Kufera +6 more
