males may have better supervisor relations compared with females, although no differences between sexes were observed by perceived levels of stress.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States. When cardiovascular disease results in cardiac arrest, the ability to perform basic life support (BLS) can change the outcome from death to survival. There is no definitive statistical data on high schoolers' awareness of basic life support (BLS).

A survey-based research study was conducted to find high schoolers' awareness of BLS. A total of 105 students, primarily from Kansas City suburbs, took a survey with questions ranging from their views on whether BLS courses should be integrated into the high school curriculum to the steps they would take when a person collapses on the ground. Results were analyzed to determine the students' knowledge of different aspects of BLS and their interest in taking a BLS course in school.

Over 70% of the students would take a BLS course should it be offered in a high school class. Most students answered questions regarding BLS steps correctly but lacked critical knowledge on an automated external defibrillator (AED).

Although over 70% of the students were aware of the basics of BLS, most students lacked knowledge on the critical aspects of BLS, such as the use of an AED. Most students recognize the importance of BLS in the high school curriculum and would acquire the skills in a high school class. Introducing a BLS course in the high school curriculum would improve the students' knowledge and contribute to improved survival rates of victims of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest.

Kansas has seen a steady increase in the rate of firearm deaths and injuries. Little is known surrounding the demographic and geospatial factors of these firearm-related traumas. The purpose of this study was to describe the overall incidence of firearm-related traumas, identify high injury locations, and examine any racial/ethnic disparities that may exist.

A retrospective review was conducted of all patients 14 years or older who were admitted with a gunshot wound (GSW) to a Level I trauma center between 2016 and 2017.

Forty-nine percent of patients were Caucasian, 26.5% African American, and 19.6% Hispanic/Latino. Hispanic/Latino patients were the youngest (25.8 ± 8.8 years) and Caucasians were the oldest (34.3 ± 14.1 years, p = 0.002). Compared to Caucasian patients, African American (42.0%) and Hispanic/Latino (54.1%) patients were more likely to be admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU; p = 0.034) and experienced longer ICU lengths of stay (2.5 ± 6.3 and 2.4 ± 4.7 days, p = 0.031, respectively). African American patients (96.0%) experienced more assaults, while Caucasians were more likely to receive gunshot wounds accidentally (26.9%, p = 0.001). More African American (86.0%) and Hispanic/Latino (89.2%) patients were injured with a handgun and Caucasians sustained the highest percentage of shotgun/rifle related injuries (16.1%, p = 0.012). Most GSWs occurred in zip codes 67202, 67203, 67213, 67211, and 67214. VT103 Geographical maps indicated that GSWs occur in neighborhoods with low-income and high minority residents and in the downtown and nightclub areas of the city.

Most GSW victims were older Caucasian males. Racial differences were noted and injury locations concentrated in certain locations.

We report the case of an 11-year old girl with intestinal loops eviscerating through the anus due to a fall on a sharp piece of wood which stuck into her, occurring two hours before hospitalization. On examination, his general condition was good, with transanal evisceration of approximately 25 cm of viable small bowel through the anus and abdominal tenderness. Preoperative laboratory tests were normal and no imaging test was performed. After resuscitation, surgical exploration was performed which showed serohematic fluid collection (300 ml) and evisceration of approximately 60 cm of inflammated intestinal loops through a rupture of approximately 5 cm of the anterior wall of the rectum. Reduction of the eviscerated intestinal loops by gentle traction, repair of the rectal wall by separated sutures, wash and drainage were performed. The patient received broad-spectrum antibiotic. The operating suites were simple with a resumption of transit two days after surgery. The patient was discharged seven days after surgery. After a follow-up period of one month, the patient came for a further consultation and clinical examination was normal.Arteria lusoria or retroesophageal right subclavian artery is the most common aortic arch malformation, accounting for 0.5-2.5% of cases. It can be detected in patients with symptoms including airway and/or esophageal compression such as dyspnea or dysphagia or even recurrent respiratory infections; but it is mostly asymptomatic, as reported by several authors. We here report the case of a 44-year-old female patient treated in our emergency room due to respiratory distress syndrome associated with arteria lusoria. This is a rare cause of dyspnea which should be suspected in patients with dyspnea not responding to medical treatment. Asymptomatic patients undergo medical treatment associated with simple surveillance. Surgery is necessary when it becomes symptomatic or when it is associated with Kommerell diverticulum (KD).Appendectomy is the most common non-obstetric surgical intervention in pregnant patients. In rare cases, deciduosis can develop during pregnancy in the appendix and cause inflammation through appendiceal occlusion by ectopic decidua tissue. We report a 28-year-old woman at 32 weeks of pregnancy, who presented at the emergency room with the diagnosis of an acute appendicitis. After successful appendectomy and histopathological examination of the appendectomy specimen, a diagnosis of appendiceal deciduosis with acute appendicitis was established. Here, we discuss the origin of appendiceal deciduosis, as well as its clinical and histopathological presentation.
