The skilled ED provider always takes proper precautions before attempting fish bone removal and preparing for patient discharge. And a sensible provider never sends an anxious patient down river without a thorough exam.   Fish bones are usually slightly waxy, bendable, and sharp. These tiny bones lodge themselves in the throat with a vengeance. Common nesting sites of fish bones include the base of the tongue, tonsils, posterior pharyngeal wall, aryepiglottic fold, or upper esophagus. Late complications of leftover fish bones in the throat may cause airway obstruction or rarely esophageal perforation. The patient is alway...

Superiority of Roeder's Knot for Fascial Mesh Fixation in a Cadaveric Model.
CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that Roeder's knot is superior to the regular sliding knot in securing the mesh to the abdominal wall. It can be tightened appropriately and leads to less variation when used properly. It has many other applications that stem from its ability to be advanced with different degrees of tightness based on body habitus and the operative requirements. PMID: 28689486 [PubMed - in process]

Hemostatic granules and dressing prepared from formulations of carboxymethyl cellulose, kappa-carrageenan and polyethylene oxide crosslinked by gamma radiation
In this study, we prepared biocompatible hydrogel-based hemostat crosslinked by ionizing radiation. Granules made from carboxymethyl cellulose and dressing from kappa carrageenan and polyethylene oxide were characterized by FT-IR, SEM, and gel analysis. Gamma radiation with a dose of 25kGy was used for sterilization process. Stability studies indicate that the products remain effective with a shelf life of up to 18 months based on accelerated aging. Both hemostatic agents were demonstrated to be effective in vitro blood clotting assays showing a low blood clotting index, high platelet adhesion capacity and accelerated clot...
