Disease relevance of Neck Injuries

• Plasma Tg levels in all 36 cadavers without external compression of the neck or neck injuries were lower than 200 ng/ml (73.6 +/- 51.9 ng/ml, M +/- S.D.) although these levels were a little higher than those in living bodies (16.7 +/- 11.8 ng/ml) [1].
• Univariate analysis showed Glasgow Coma Scale score < or = 8, head injury (Abbreviated Injury Scale [AIS] score > or = 3), basal skull fracture, facial injury, other neck injury, thorax injury (AIS score > or = 3), abdominal injury, and cervical spine injury to be significant (p < 0.05) [2].

High impact information on Neck Injuries

• Pain-free remissions, which usually lasted 2 weeks, ceased after a mild neck injury, but the headaches responded promptly to indomethacin [3].
• CONCLUSION: Selective management of penetrating neck injuries is safe and does not mandate routine diagnostic testing for asymptomatic patients with injuries in zones II and III [4].
• Head and neck injuries in soccer. Impact of minor trauma [5].
• The nonhelmeted patients had higher Injury Severity Scores (11.9 vs 7.02), sustained head/neck injuries more frequently (41.7 vs 24.1%), and had lower Glasgow Coma Scores (13.73 vs 14.51) [6].
• All patients that died had significant head and neck injuries (AIS > or = 3) [7].

Chemical compound and disease context of Neck Injuries

• Football shoulder and neck injury: a study of the "stinger" [8].
• Problem/Condition: Multiple-cause mortality data was assessed as a source of information for surveillance of deaths associated with head or neck injuries [9].

Biological context of Neck Injuries

• AIS1 neck injuries are the most frequent disabling injuries among car occupants in road traffic accidents [10].

Gene context of Neck Injuries

• Non-ejected patients suffered mostly from head and neck injuries (50%) of which 9% were severe (head and neck AIS > or = 4, P < 0.05) [11].
• Carpal tunnel syndrome or trigger finger associated with neck injury in automobile accidents [12].
• The deterioration of MS bore no direct relationship with the severity of neck injury [13].
• Soft tissue neck injuries resulting from strangulation by ligature or manual strangulation were examined immunohistochemically using antibodies to myoglobin, fibronectin, C5b-9 and MRP14, and compared to controls consisting of accidental soft tissue neck injuries as well as undamaged neck soft tissue [14].
• We reviewed the real and potential ocular problems in all head and neck injuries at a tertiary care and regional trauma center from April of 1994 to March of 1995 [15].
