"Results from a recent paper suggest that clinicians need to educate patients about the risk-benefit ratios of research. Patients were also found to be willing to participate in clinical trials to a greater extent than previous research has suggested." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"There are few documented cases of traumatic tap in the US. There was a significant correlation between the volume of procedures performed and the rate of traumatic tap, but the majority of traumatic tap events were less severe than traumatic tap in some other country." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Most traumatic tap patients with clinically significant injuries have nonoperative management. As a low risk procedure with low risks of complications, it should be used as a first line treatment for nonoperatively treated traumatic tap. If there are associated injuries requiring further intervention (ex. bony fractures, joint dislocations), further definitive treatment might be necessary." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"In general, traumatic taps heal relatively fast; however, the rate of wound closure may be delayed when surgical drainage is delayed. Patients with traumatic taps have greater need for antibiotics compared to those undergoing surgical drainage. A higher GCS and a low number of emergency department visits are associated with less infection risk." - Anonymous Online Contributor

"The authors found a statistically and clinically significant decrease in the depth of an incision at six months after the trial initiation in both the placebo group and the treatment group (p = 0.008), and no change in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional measurements for the treatment group. We found no statistically or clinically significant change in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional measurements for the placebo group." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Most injuries are not associated with age. One-third of children had a traumatic tap as defined. Traumatic taps are a common injuries requiring evaluation for underlying pathology and will increase in prevalence with improved screening of child abuse." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Patient experience with treatment is in disagreement with that reported by the health care workers. Patient knowledge is important to support the quality of care for patients after shoulder injury. An example of treatment that may be better supported by the health care workers would be strengthening the arm and wrist using physiotherapy and bracing. Patient involvement improves long-term outcome following shoulder injury and supports the goals of the shoulder treatment programme." - Anonymous Online Contributor
"Common side effects seen frequently with RSI are tinnitus, vertigo, nausea, and vomiting. Severe side effects include coma, cerebral vascular accident, and seizures. Those with cohesinopathies may tolerate RSI better than others. People with cohesinopathies and cochlear deficits are less likely to tolerate RSI. Results from a recent paper have important ramifications to the decision of whether to use endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) during acute pancreatitis. ERCP is often used in the management of common biliary diseases such as choledocholithiasis and complicated biliary strictures." - Anonymous Online Contributor
