Acute Condition

The majority of unstable pelvic injuries are accompanied by sacrum fractures of different localization. Experience in treatment of 8 patients with multiple concomitant injuries and sacrum fractures at the level of sacrum canal (Denis 3) is presented. All patients with acute condition were admitted into intensive care unit and underwent complex examination. At this step of intensive care the complexity of sacrum fractures and nerve injuries diagnosis is conditioned by the severity of patient’s condition. Patients with pelvic injuries require careful examination for detection of sacrum and nerve injuries in this region. However taking into account the multiplicity of injuries the emergency operation for nerve roots revision is not expedient. At rendering care to such patients the basic principles should be the conception of injuries control with preference given to stable and functional methods of fracture fixation. In our opinion all Denis 3 fractures with neurologic disorders require decompression-stabilizing operations that enable to mobilize patients, to determine and probably to improve the prognosis of neurologic pathology.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.

Abstract Although most chapters in the AMA Guides to the Evaluation of Permanent Impairment (AMA Guides), Sixth Edition, instruct evaluators to perform impairment ratings by first assigning a diagnosis-based class and then assigning a grade within that class, Chapter 13, The Central and Peripheral Nervous System, continues to use a methodology similar to that of the fifth edition. The latter was criticized for duplicating materials that were presented in other chapters and for producing different ratings, so the revision of Chapter 13 attempts to maintain consistency between this chapter and those that address mental and behavioral disorders, loss of function in upper and lower extremities, loss of bowel control, and bladder and sexual function. A table titled Summary of Chapters Used to Rate Various Neurologic Disorders directs physicians to the relevant chapters (ie, instead of Chapter 13) to consult in rating neurologic disorders; the extensive list of conditions that should be addressed in other chapters includes but is not limited to radiculopathy, plexus injuries and other plexopathies, focal neuropathy, complex regional pain syndrome, visual and vestibular disorders, and a range of primary mood, anxiety, and psychotic disorders. The article comments in detail on sections of this chapter, identifies changes in the sixth edition, and provide guidance regarding use of the new edition, resulting in less duplication and greater consistency.
