    Abstract Multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MT-InSAR) techniques are well recognized as useful tools for detecting and monitoring Earth’s surface temporal changes. In this work, the fundamentals of error noise propagation and perturbation theories are applied to derive the ground displacement products’ theoretical error bounds of the small baseline (SB) differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar algorithms. A general formulation of the least-squares (LS) optimization problem, representing the SB methods implementation’s core, was adopted in this research study. A particular emphasis was placed on the effects of time-uncorrelated phase unwrapping mistakes and time-inconsistent phase disturbances in sets of SB interferograms, leading to artefacts in the attainable InSAR products. Moreover, this study created the theoretical basis for further developments aimed at quantifying the error budget of the time-uncorrelated phase unwrapping mistakes and studying time-inconsistent phase artefacts for the generation of InSAR data products. Some experiments, performed by considering a sequence of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images collected by the ASAR sensor onboard the ENVISAT satellite, supported the developed theoretical framework.

    Abstract The leading cause of preventable traumatic death is uncontrolled bleeding. This study aimed to better identify those most likely to experience in-hospital mortality with increasing injury severity scoring (ISS). This is a single-center study of Trauma Registry data, from July 3, 2016, to February 24, 2022. The inclusion criteria were based upon age (≥18 years) and in-hospital mortality. 546 patients (mean age 58) were included in the analysis. There were several significant associations with increasing ISS among those who experienced in-hospital mortality, which included a rising shock index ratio, activation of the massive transfusion protocol, and, most notably, motorcycle trauma. This research reiterates the importance of the "Stop the Bleed" campaign as vital for training laypersons in the life-saving technique for hemorrhage control.

    Abstract The current literature demonstrates an association between both size and presence of TBI and its effects on mortality; however, it does not readily address the morbidity and associated functional outcomes of those who survive. We hypothesize that the likelihood of discharge to home decreases with advancement of age in the presence of TBI. This is a single-center study of trauma registry data, inclusive years July 1, 2016, to October 31, 2021. The inclusion criteria was based upon age (≥40 years), and ICD10 diagnosis of a TBI. Disposition to home without services was the dependent variable. 2031 patients were included in the analysis. We hypothesized correctly that the likelihood of discharge to home decreases (by 6%) with advancement of age (per year) in the presence of intracranial hemorrhage.

    Abstract A recommended emergency medical services ambulance response time to a medical emergency is within eight minutes for at least 90% of calls. This study aimed to evaluate scene times for rural education and outreach to improve the quality of trauma care. This is a single-center study of Trauma Registry data from July 1, 2016 to February 28, 2022. The inclusion criteria were based upon age (≥18 years). A logistic regression was performed to identify predictor variables on the likelihood that an adult trauma patient will experience scene times greater than eight minutes. 19 321 patients were included in the analysis; 7233 (37%) experienced an elapsed scene time within eight minutes. This research identified an opportunity to improve rural trauma team response time, which is only reaching 37% of the patient population within eight minutes. Prehospital cardiac arrest and unique pre-existing comorbidities may play a role in extended response times by EMS.

    Abstract This study aimed to evaluate non-survivors who were admitted to a level I trauma center but later died, in terms of predicting who would expire early vs late. This is a single-center study of Trauma Registry data, from July 3, 2016, to February 24, 2022. The inclusion criteria were based upon age (≥18 years) and in-hospital mortality. 546 patients (mean age 58) were included in the analysis. Trauma patients who may experience an earlier death were those with increasing injury severity scores, activation of massive transfusion protocol, comorbid advanced directive limiting care, COPD, personality disorder, and ED death location. Patients were more likely to experience later in-hospital mortality, including those with increasing ICU stays, and comorbid dementia.

    Abstract Background: Axillary vein puncture (AVP) is a valid alternative to Subclavan vein puncture for leads insertion in cardiac implantable electronic device implantation, that may reduce acute and delayed complications. Very few data are available about ICD recipients. A simplified AVP technique is described.
    Methods: All the patients who consecutively underwent "de novo" ICD implantation, from March 2006 to December 2020 at the University of Verona, were considered. Leads insertion was routinely performed through an AVP, according to a simplified technique. Outcome and complications have been retrospectively analyzed.
    Results: The study population consisted of 1711 consecutive patients. Out of 1711 patients, 38 (2.2%) were excluded because they were implanted with Medtronic Sprint Fidelis lead. Out of 1673 ICD implantations, 963 (57.6%) were ICD plus cardiac resynchronization therapy, 434 (25.9%) were dual-chamber defibrillators, and 276 (16.5%) were single-chamber defibrillators, for a total of 3879 implanted leads. The AVP success rate was 99.4%. Acute complications occurred in 7/1673 (0.42%) patients. Lead failure (LF) occurred in 20/1673 (1.19%) patients. Comparing the group of patients with lead failure with the group without LF, the presence of three leads inside the vein was significantly associated with LF, and the multivariate analysis confirmed three leads in place as an independent predictor of LF.
    Conclusion: AVP, according to our simplified technique, is safe, effective, has a high success rate, and a very low complication rate. The incidence of LF was exceptionally low. The advantages of AVP are maintained over time in a population of ICD recipients.
