48-0.69, 
  < .05 for years 2010-2015). A similar trend was demonstrated in single GSW injuries (OR 0.31-0.83, 
  < .01 for years 2005-2015). Conversely, multiple GSW injuries did not follow this trend (OR 0.91-1.36 with 
  > 0.05 for each year).
 
  In contrast to significant improvement in survival in patients with a single GSW injury since 2003, multiple GSW injuries still pose a challenge to trauma care. This warrants further investigation into the efficacy of legislature, and the lack thereof, as well as future preventative measures to this type of injury.

Early and structured rehabilitation has been associated with improved outcomes for patients requiring prolonged periods of mechanical ventilation, but at present no data are available to describe similar interventions or outcomes in COVID-19 populations.Objectives To describe the demographics, clinical status, level of rehabilitation, and mobility status at ICU discharge of patients with COVID-19.Methods Adults admitted to the ICU with a confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19 and mechanically ventilated for >24 hours were included. Rehabilitation status was measured daily using the Manchester Mobility Score to identify the time taken to first mobilize (defined as sitting on the edge of the bed or higher) and highest level of mobility achieved at ICU discharge.Results A tol ventilation required for those patients admitted to the ICU. Although the time to commence rehabilitation was delayed owing to this severity of illness, rehabilitation was possible within the ICU and led to increased levels of mobility from waking before ICU discharge.Clinical trial registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT04396197).
  To study patient experiences with physical activity among persons with Loeys-Dietz- or vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.
 
  A postal questionnaire survey in 2018. Seventy adults with molecularly verified Loeys-Dietz syndrome types 1-4, or vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome recruited through a National Resource Centre for Rare Disorders in Norway.
 
  The response rate was 74%, (Loeys-Dietz 
   = 34, vascular Ehlers-Danlos 
   = 18), aged 18 to 68 years, 58% women. In total, 88.5% reported they had received advice regarding physical activity and most (77%) had modified their habits. Fifty percent had an appropriate- and 40% a low mean physical activity sum score. Another 10% had too high physical activity levels due to high intensity scores. Lower scores with the Fatigue Severity Scale (
   = 0.033) and the anxiety subscale of the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (
   = 0.021), were associated with high physical activity levels. About a third reported unmet rehabilitation needs.
 
  Many adults with Loeys-Dietz- or vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome may have a potential to reach more favorable physical activity levels by increasing the frequency and duration of activities. Future directions should include evaluation of effects of professional-led practical and safe physical activity sessions as well as customized multidisciplinary rehabilitation programs for these patient groups.

  Endotracheal intubation (ETI) is the most definitive technique for airway management. However, supraglottic airway (SGA) may be used when ETI is not feasible. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of updated field sedation protocols, simulation teaching, robust Quality Assurance/Continuing Quality Improvement (QA/CQI) program, and enhanced emergency medical services (EMSs) medical director oversight on ETI and SGA usage at a Level 1 trauma center.
 
  After the transition of EMS directors in May 2016, field sedation protocols were updated, a new QA/CQI was instituted, and multiple teaching and simulation sessions were conducted. A retrospective review of EMS data was conducted on all prehospital airway interventions performed by EMS personnel. Intubations occurring from July 2013 to May 2016 served as controls. Intubations from May 2016 to December 2017 served as the comparison group. Data collected included intubation type/indication, age, and successful or unsuccessful.
 
  There were 967 ETI and SGA performed on 84% and 15% of patients, respectively. Success rates were 75% for ETI and 82% for SGA. ETI increased from 83% in the control group to 88% in the study group, and SGA decreased from 16% in the control group to 11% in the study group (
  = .029). The success rate for ETI increased by 2% in the study group (
  = .539).
 
  This study showed that definitive airway control could be positively impacted by incorporating education and medical director oversight into EMS training. ETI increased and SGA decreased after implementation.

ETI increased and SGA decreased after implementation.Background Developing brains can partially get over prenatal alcohol exposure-related detrimental conditions by activating some mechanisms involved in survival. Objectives This study aimed to shed light on the molecular correlates of compensatory mechanisms by examining temporal profiles in the expression of proteins controlling postnatal development in the rat hippocampus prenatally exposed to intubation stress/ethanol. Methods Male pups were randomly assigned to age subgroups (n = 21/age) which were sacrificed on postnatal day (PD)1, PD10, PD30, and PD60. Ethanol (6 g/kg/day) were intragastrically intubated to the dams throughout 7-21 gestation days. The expression of neurogenesis and angiogenesis markers, extracellular matrix proteins, and growth-promoting ligands were examined by western blot. Results The most rapid increase in the index of neuronal maturation was noted between PD10-PD30 (p less then .05). Prenatal stress caused a decrease of neurogenesis markers at birth and an increase of their expressions at PD10 and PD30 to reach control levels (p less then .
