Trauma Symptoms, Causes, Effects and Treatment

Trauma is defined as the emotional reaction someone has to an extremely depressing event. While trauma is a normal reaction to a terrible event, the effects can be so ruthless that they interfere with an individual’s ability to live a normal life. In a case such as this, assist may be needed to care for the stress and dysfunction caused by the traumatic event and to restore the individual to a condition of emotional well-being.

What Are the Main Sources of Trauma?

Trauma can be caused by a tremendously depressing incident that causes a lasting collision on the victim’s mental and emotional stability. While many sources of trauma are physically violent in nature, others are emotional. Some common sources of trauma include:

  Ø   Rape

  Ø   Domestic violence

  Ø   Natural disasters

  Ø   Severe illness or injury

  Ø   The death of a loved one

  Ø   Witnessing an act of violence

Trauma is frequently but not always related with being present at the site of a trauma-inducing event. It is also possible to maintain trauma after witnessing something from a distance. Young children are especially susceptible to trauma and should be psychologically examined after a traumatic event has occurred to ensure their emotional well-being.

What Are the Signs of a Person Suffering fromTrauma?

While the causes and symptoms of trauma are different, there are some basic signs of trauma that you can look out for. People who have endured traumatic actions will often appear upset and confused. They may not respond to conversation as they usually would and will often appear withdrawn or not present even when speaking.

Emotional Symptoms of Trauma:

Emotion is one of the most universal ways in which trauma manifests. Some general emotional symptoms of trauma contain denial, anger, sadness and emotional outbursts. Victim of trauma may transmit the overwhelming emotions they incident toward other sources, such as friends or family members. This is one of the reasons why trauma is complicated for loved ones as well. It is tough to help someone who pushes you away, but accepting the emotional symptoms that come after a traumatic event can help ease the process.

Physical Symptoms of Trauma:

Trauma regularly manifests physically as well as emotionally. Some regular physical signs of trauma include whiteness, lethargy, fatigue, poor attention and a racing heartbeat. The victim may have anxiety or panic attacks and be unable to cope in certain situation. The physical symptoms of trauma can be as actual and shocking as those of physical injury or illness, and care should be taken to handle stress levels after a traumatic event.

Ancient and Present Era of Rheumatology

2nd World Congress on Rheumatology and Orthopedics

September 26-27, 2019 

Paris, France

Rheumatology: Rheumatology represents a subspecialty in Pediatrics and Internal medicine, which is devoted to sufficient analysis and therapy of rheumatic diseases (including soft tissues, clinical problems in joints, vacuities, heritable connective tissue disorders and Systemic lupus erythematosus). This field is multidisciplinary in nature, which means it relies on close associations with other medical specialties.

The specialty of rheumatology has undergone a countless of noteworthy advances in Present years, particularly if we consider the development of state-of-the-art biological drugs with novel targets, made possible by rapid advances in the basic science of musculoskeletal diseases and developed imaging techniques.

History of Rheumatology:

The term “rheuma” can be used back to the 1st century A.D., when it had a meaning similar to the Hippocratic term “catarrhs”. Both of these terms are derived from the term phlegm and refer to substances which flow, which was one of the four major humors. The first known use in English is record in the late 14th century.

Thomas Sydenham was an English physician from the past 17^th century, often called “the English Hippocrates”. He introduces the importance of clinical inspection in the practice of medicine, basing his treatment actions on practical experience rather than upon the theories of Galen. He suffered from gout, a difficult form of arthritis, which he managed to explain in detail.

The first clinical explanation of rheumatoid arthritis is accredited to Landré-Beauvais in 1880. Although the disease appeared like to gout, Landré-Beauvais pointed out that this infection shows several unique features – namely a chronic course, majority in women, involvement of multiple joints from the onset, and a significant reject in general health.

Key aspects of modern rheumatology

Rheumatology has changed extensively over the last twenty years from mostly inpatient based specialty with poorly effective treatment modalities, to an outpatient based department with targeted and science-based therapies. Still, one basic problem remains, and that is the difficulty of defining the range of illnesses included in this field.

In addition, rheumatology offers miscellaneous prospects for both clinical and scientific research. This field is certainly set to develop even further in the future, as better assessment of disease, improved science, the advance progress of new biomarkers and optimization of drug usage will help address many challenges ahead.

Syndesmosis Injuries of the Ankle: an Update

Dr. Jorge de las Heras Romero Recognized expert in the area of Orthopaedics and Trauma Surgery, Chief of reconstructive knee, foot and ankle unit at University Reina Sofia Hospital, La Vega and Virgen de la Caridad private Hospitals in Murcia, Spain. He received his PhD at University of Murcia where he is currently a lecturer. He has authored numerous articles and book chapters in his field and is the Director of Foot and Ankle Surgery Update Conference held annually in Murcia. Also, Editor of Orthopaedics, Traumatology and Sports Medicine International Journal (OTSMIJ), MOJ Orthopaedics and Rheumatology and EC Orthopaedics Journal. Being an invited keynote speaker at World Congresson Rheumatology & Orthopedics Conference held by Scientific Federation. Dr. Jorge de las Heras Romero is going to talk on “Syndesmosis Injuries of the Ankle: an Update.” A brief summary is presented here.

The term syndesmotic injury is used to describe a lesion of the ligaments that connect the distal fibula and the tibial notch surrounded on both sides by the anterior and posterior tibial tubercles, with or without an associated injury of the deltoid ligament. It includes four major ligaments: the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (AITFL), which limits the fibular external rotation; the interosseous ligament (IOL), which limits the lateral translation of the fibula; the posterior inferior tibiofibular ligament (PITFL), which prevents the posterior fibular translation; and the inferior transverse ligament, which limits posterior talar displacement. Injuries to the tibioperoneal syndesmosis are more frequent than previously thought and their treatment is essential for the stability of the ankle mortise. Recognition of these lesions is essential to avoid long-term morbidity. Diagnosis often requires complete history, physical examination, weight-bearing radiographs and MRI. Treatment-oriented classification is mandatory. It is recommended that acute stable injuries are treated conservatively and unstable injuries surgically by syndesmotic screw fixation, suture-button dynamic fixation or direct repair of the anterior inferior tibiofibular ligament. Subacute injuries may require ligamentoplasty and chronic lesions are best treated by syndesmotic fusion. However, knowledge about syndesmotic injuries is still limited as recommendations for surgical treatment are only based on level IV and V evidence.

Skeletal Adaptation: Exercise, Diet, and Osteoarthritis

We are extremely delighted to announce our plenary speakers for the World Congress on Rheumatology &Orthopedics will be:

Ronald Zernicke, PhD, DSc, is a Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery, Kinesiology, and Biomedical Engineering, and a Fellow of the International, Canadian, and American Societies of Biomechanics, American College of Sports Medicine, and National Academy of Kinesiology. He has published more than 600 research papers and abstracts and 2 books. Ronald Zernicke, PhD, DSc, will be giving plenary talk on Skeletal Adaptation: Exercise, Diet, and Osteoarthritis A brief summary is given below:

Throughout the life span, significant skeletal adaptations occur during maturation to maturity, within the mature state, and during senescence with males and females different in this regard. The associated microstructural and mechanical changes can be influenced by intrinsic and extrinsic factors, such as exercise, diet, and joint injury. Although exercise can positively benefit bone, skeletal muscle, and joint health, chronic exposure to an obesity-inducing diet and its inflammatory sequelae can result in loss of functional integrity with dysregulated tissue repair and risk for musculoskeletal tissue damage. Systemic inflammation from diet-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome can adversely affect bone density and subchondral trabecular bone mechanics and structure, which can negatively impact articular cartilage. Joint injuries (e.g., loss of the anterior cruciate ligament—ACL of the knee) can have rapid and detrimental effects on the structure and mechanical integrity of periarticular bone, joint cartilage, and other joint tissues, and thus, a joint should be considered a multicomponent organ system. After an ACL injury, finite element analyses have revealed specific changes in periarticular bone modulus, 3D trabecular connectivity, and microarchitecture, as well as loss of quadriceps muscle complex integrity. With development of early post-traumatic osteoarthritis, architectural adaptations predominate over bone tissue modulus changes. Altered muscle-tendon-bone cross-talk can also be produced from dysfunctional mechanical and biological stimuli resulting from compromised muscle integrity and contribute to bone loss. The potent interconnectivities among musculoskeletal tissues underscore the importance of implementing a complex systems approach to detailed understanding of mechanisms of skeletal adaptation in health and disease.
