Early versus delayed application of Thomas splints in patients with isolated femur shaft fractures: The benefits quantified

AIMS To investigate and quantify the clinical benefits of early versus delayed application of Thomas splints in patients with isolated femur shaft fractures. MATERIALS AND METHODS Level IV retrospective clinical and radiological analysis of patients presenting from January to December 2012 at a Level 1 Trauma Unit. All skeletally mature patients with isolated femur shaft fractures independently of their mechanism of injury were included. Exclusion criteria were: ipsilateral fracture of the lower limb, neck and supracondylar femur fractures, periprosthetic and incomplete fractures. Their clinical records were analysed for blood transfusion requirements, pulmonary complications, surgery time, duration of hospital stay and analgesic requirements. RESULTS A total of 106 patients met our inclusion criteria. There were 74 males and 32 females. Fifty seven (54%) patients were in the 'early splinted' group and 49 patients (46%) were in the 'delayed splinted' group (P>0.05). The need for blood transfusion was significantly reduced in the 'early splinted' group (P=0.04). There was a significantly higher rate of pulmonary complications in the 'delayed splinted' group (P=0.008). All other parameters were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSION The early application of Thomas splints for isolated femur fractures in non-polytraumatised patients has a clinically and statistically significant benefit of reducing the need for blood transfusions and the incidence of pulmonary complications.

Ministerielle Reichsorgel: Orgelspieler: I kann holt ka Harmonie rausbringen ...

Welsch (Projektbearbeiter): Karikatur auf die der Frankfurter Nationalversammlung zuwiderlaufende Politik Friedrich Wilhelms IV. von Preußen: der den Blasebalg tretende und dabei Champagner trinkende König zwingt dem Orgelspieler (Erzherzog Johann) eine wenig harmonische Partitur mit dem Titel "Wir lassen halt Alles beim Alten" auf. Im Hintergrund führende Paulskirchenabgeordnete (u.a. Gagern und Robert Blum) als willenlose Orgelpfeifen

Meta-analysis identifies seven susceptibility loci involved in the atopic march.

Eczema often precedes the development of asthma in a disease course called the 'atopic march'. To unravel the genes underlying this characteristic pattern of allergic disease, we conduct a multi-stage genome-wide association study on infantile eczema followed by childhood asthma in 12 populations including 2,428 cases and 17,034 controls. Here we report two novel loci specific for the combined eczema plus asthma phenotype, which are associated with allergic disease for the first time; rs9357733 located in EFHC1 on chromosome 6p12.3 (OR 1.27; P=2.1 × 10(-8)) and rs993226 between TMTC2 and SLC6A15 on chromosome 12q21.3 (OR 1.58; P=5.3 × 10(-9)). Additional susceptibility loci identified at genome-wide significance are FLG (1q21.3), IL4/KIF3A (5q31.1), AP5B1/OVOL1 (11q13.1), C11orf30/LRRC32 (11q13.5) and IKZF3 (17q21). We show that predominantly eczema loci increase the risk for the atopic march. Our findings suggest that eczema may play an important role in the development of asthma after eczema.

Adrian Leverkühns 'Love's Labour Lost' als Interpretamtent für Thomas Manns 'Doktor Faustus'

Adrian Leverkühns erste Zwölfton-Komposition, die Oper ›Love's Labour Lost‹, soll hier diskursgeschichtlich auf die Bedeutung hin befragt werden, die sie für die Zeitdiagnose und Gesellschaftskritik des ›Doktor Faustus‹ hat. Zu diesem Zweck wird erst das zugrunde gelegte Drama in der Geschichte der Shakespeare-Rezeption situiert, dann aber auch die Konzeptions-, Entstehungs- und Aufführungsgeschichte seiner Vertonung im Gender-Diskurs der Weimarer Republik rekontextualisiert.

The Character of Christian-Muslim Encounter: Essays in Honour of David Thomas

The Character of Christian-Muslim Encounter is a Festschrift in honour of David Thomas, Professor of Christianity and Islam, and Nadir Dinshaw Professor of Inter Religious Relations, at the University of Birmingham, UK. The Editors have put together a collection of over 30 contributions from colleagues of Professor Thomas that commences with a biographical sketch and representative tribute provided by a former doctoral student, and comprises a series of wide-ranging academic papers arranged to broadly reflect three dimensions of David Thomas’ academic and professional work – studies in and of Islam; Christian-Muslim relations; the Church and interreligious engagement. These are set in the context of a focussed theme – the character of Christian-Muslim encounters – and cast within a broad chronological framework.
