    Abstract There are a number of leadership styles. A leader can be loud and boisterous, quiet and unassuming, or anywhere in between. Some are like a chameleon and change their style depending on the circumstances. Regardless of style, there are certain traits that must be present for surgeon-leaders to be effective. Some such traits include strategic thinking, team building, effective communication, accountability, setting clear goals, technical expertise, faculty development, and selflessness. These seven traits can be summed up in two words: Tim Fabian. The following sections will hopefully illustrate Dr Fabian's attributes as they relate to these leadership traits. Some actions will fall under more than one trait.

    Abstract Background: Given the acuity of patients who receive MTPs and the resources they require, MTPs are a compelling target for performance improvement. This study evaluated adherence with our MTP's plasma:red blood cell ratio (FFPR) of 1:2 and platelet:red blood cell ratio (PLTR) of 1:12, to test the hypothesis that ratio adherence is associated with lower inpatient mortality.
    Materials and methods: The registry of an urban level I trauma center was queried for adult patients who received at least 6 units of packed red blood cells within 4 hours of presentation. Patients were excluded for interfacility transfer, cardiac arrest during the prehospital phase or within one hour of arrival, or for head AIS ≥5. Univariate analysis and multiple logistic regressions were performed to identify variables associated with early transfusion protocol noncompliance and the effect on inpatient mortality.
    Results: Three hundred and eighty-three patients were included, with mean ISS of 25.9 ± 13.3 and inpatient mortality of 28.5%. Increasing age, ISS, INR, and total units of blood product transfused were associated with increased odds of mortality, while an increase in revised trauma score was associated with a decreased odds ratio of mortality. Achieving our goal ratios were protective against mortality, with OR of .451 (
    Discussion: Large proportions of critically injured patients were transfused fewer units of plasma and platelets than our MTP dictated; failure to achieve intended ratios at 4 hours was strongly associated with inpatient mortality. MTP processes and outcomes should be critically assessed on a regular basis as part of a mature performance improvement program to ensure protocol adherence and optimal patient outcome.

    Abstract There have been considerable advances in the treatment of diverticular disease in recent years. Antibiotics are frequently used to treat symptoms and prevent complications. Rifaximin, a non-absorbable antibiotic, is a common therapeutic choice for symptomatic diverticular disease in various countries, including Italy. Because of its low systemic absorption and high concentration in stools, it is an excellent medicine for targeting the gastrointestinal tract, where it has a beneficial effect in addition to its antibacterial properties. Current evidence shows that cyclical rifaximin usage in conjunction with a high-fiber diet is safe and effective for treating symptomatic uncomplicated diverticular disease, while the cost-effectiveness of long-term treatment is unknown. The use of rifaximin to prevent recurrent diverticulitis is promising, but further studies are needed to confirm its therapeutic benefit. Unfortunately, there is no available evidence on the efficacy of rifaximin treatment for acute uncomplicated diverticulitis.

    Abstract Pylephlebitis, defined as infective thrombophlebitis of the portal vein, is a rare condition with an incidence of 0.37-2.7 cases per 100,000 person-years, which can virtually complicate any intra-abdominal or pelvic infections that develop within areas drained by the portal venous circulation. The current systematic review aimed to investigate the etiology behind pylephlebitis in terms of pathogens involved and causative infective processes, and to report the most common symptoms at clinical presentation. We included 220 individuals derived from published cases between 1971 and 2022. Of these, 155 (70.5%) were male with a median age of 50 years. There were 27 (12.3%) patients under 18 years of age, 6 (2.7%) individuals younger than one year, and the youngest reported case was only 20 days old. The most frequently reported symptoms on admission were fever (75.5%) and abdominal pain (66.4%), with diverticulitis (26.5%) and acute appendicitis (22%) being the two most common causes. Pylephlebitis was caused by a single pathogen in 94 (42.8%) cases and polymicrobial in 60 (27.2%) cases. However, the responsible pathogen was not identified or not reported in 30% of the included patients. The most frequently isolated bacteria were

    Abstract Introduction: A novel BCMH sheet has been shown to achieve improved wound closure rates in chronic and acute wounds when compared with SOC.
    Objective: This retrospective evaluation assessed chronic wound closure rates with SOC or treatment with the BCMH sheet in an urban hospital wound clinic.
    Methods: Forty-seven chronic wounds were treated with SOC or the BCMH sheet. The primary endpoint was time to closure. For wounds that did not close, investigations were conducted to determine the reason.
    Results: Twenty wounds were treated with SOC, which varied in usage of multiple products and/or therapies, and 27 wounds were treated with the BCMH sheet. The average initial wound size was not statistically different between the groups. In both groups, most wounds that were treated did not close. For wounds that did close, the average time to closure was 2x faster in the BCMH group compared with the SOC group (7.4 weeks and 14.8 weeks, respectively; P < .05).
    Conclusions: This retrospective evaluation showed average time to wound closure to be significantly faster with BCMH compared with SOC in patients who maintained adherence with regular visits.

    Abstract Spontaneous portosystemic shunting is a compensation mechanism that is supposed to relieve the portal circulation from high pressures. Here we report an unusual shunt that originates from a patent paraumbilical vein and reaches the femoral vein via the inferior epigastric vein. Despite being merely anecdotal, this finding is fascinating from an anatomical point of view.

    Abstract Background: Gun violence remains a significant public health problem. Although gun violence prevention efforts mostly target homicides, nationally, two-thirds of all firearm deaths are suicides. The purpose of this study was to define patterns of firearm-related deaths and examine the effect of population size.
    Study design: All firearm-related deaths in the US between 1999 and 2016 were analyzed. Homicides and suicides were obtained from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, respectively, comprising the database. For each state, the largest metropolitan city by population and a corresponding small urban city were selected. Firearm-related deaths were stratified by type and city size and compared. Rates of firearm-related homicides and suicides per 1 million population were stratified by year and compared over time using simple linear regression.
    Results: 544,749 firearm-related deaths occurred across the US over the study period (38% homicides, 62% suicides). The median rate of firearm-related suicides was significantly greater than firearm-related homicides regardless of city size and across the US. Linear regression analysis failed to identify a significant change in the rate of firearm-related homicides over the study period. However, the rate of firearm-related suicides increased significantly regardless of city size between 1999 and 2016.
    Conclusion: Although homicides account for the majority of firearm-related deaths in metropolitan areas, suicides constitute a disproportionate number in smaller urban areas. Although the rate of homicides has stabilized, the rate of firearm-related suicides continues to increase significantly, underscoring the need for better direct prevention efforts and public health policy.
