Principles of Management of the multiply injured patientCHRIS ALUMONA
The multiply injured or polytraumatised patient is at a greater risk of morbidity and mortality than patients with isolated injuries. This risk is greater than the sum of the risks of their individual injuries. A high index of suspicion is needed to recognise immediately life threatening injuries and promptly address them. The principles of management is captured with the ATLS protocol and every trauma surgeon should be conversant with this indispensable tool.

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Editor's Notes
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is the host metabolic responses to systemic inflammation that includes changes in HR, PR, RR, BP, Temperature regulation, and immune cell activation
SIRS basically has 2 phases: 1.) Acute pro-inflammatory phase –In which there is activation of cellular process designed to restore tissue function and eradicate invading organism.2. Anti-inflammatory phase- “counter-regulatory phase” it serves to modulate the pro-inflammatory phase preventing excessive pro-inflammatory activities as well as restoring homeostasis.
Schematic representation of the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after injury, followed by a period of convalescence mediated by the counterregulatory anti-inflammatory response syndrome (CARS). Severe inflammation may lead to acute multiple organ failure (MOF) and early death after injury (dark blue arrow). A lesser inflammatory response followed by excessive CARS may induce a prolonged immunosuppressed state that can also be deleterious to the host (light blue arrow). Normal recovery after injury requires a period of systemic inflammation followed by a return to homeostasis (red arrow).
-The central nervous system (CNS) plays a key role in orchestrating the inflammatory response. The CNS influences multiple organs through both neurohormonal and endocrine signals. Injury or infection signals are recognized by the CNS through afferent signal pathways -The CNS may respond to peripheral inflammatory stimuli through both circulatory and neuronal pathways-Mediators activate CNS receptors and establish phenotypic responses such as fever and anorexia
Hormone receptors are present on or within the target cells and allow signal transduction to progress intracellularly mostly through three major pathways
-Simplified schematic of steroid transport into the nucleus. Steroid molecules (S) diffuse readily across cytoplasmic membranes. Intracellularly the receptors (R) are rendered inactive by being coupled to heat shock protein (HSP). When S and R bind, HSP dissociates, and the S-R complex enters the nucleus, where the S-R complex induces DNA transcription, resulting in protein synthesis. mRNA = messenger RNA.-Intracellular signaling leads to downstream effects such as protein synthesis and further mediator release. Protein synthesis is mediated through intracellular receptor binding either by hormone ligands or through subsequently released secondary signaling molecules.
-Virtually every hormone of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis influences the physiologic response to injury and stress, so here are the list of hormones
-Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a polypeptide hormone released by the anterior pituitary gland. -Adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) is a principal regulator of steroid synthesis. The end products are mineralocorticoids, glucocorticoids, and sex steroids.-ACTH release follows circadian rhythms in healthy humans; however, during times of stress this diurnal pattern becomes blunted because ACTH release is elevated in proportion to the severity of injury. Several important stimuli for ACTH release are present in the injured patient.
-Cortisol is a glucocorticoid steroid hormone released by the adrenal cortex in response to ACTH. -Wound healing also is impaired, because cortisol reduces transforming growth factor beta (TGF-B) and insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in the wound. This effect can be partially ameliorated by the administration of vitamin A.-MIF is a counterregulatory mediator that potentially reverses the anti-inflammatory effects of cortisol.-GH has immunomodulatory effects, GH promotes increase in protein synthesis and insulin resistance, and enhances the mobilization of fat stores.
- Epinephrine also has immunomodulatory properties mediated primarily through the activation of beta2 receptors on immunocytes. inhibit the release of inflammatory cytokines, including TNF, interleukin-1, and interleukin-6, while also enhancing the release of the anti-inflammatory mediator interleukin-10.-Aldosterone secretion is stimulated by ACTH, angiotensin II, decreased intravascular volume, and hyperkalemia-Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance are hallmarks of critical illness due to the catabolic effects of circulating mediators, including catecholamines, cortisol, glucagon, and growth hormone. -Hyperglycemia during critical illness has immunosuppressive effects, including impaired glycosylation of immunoglobulins and decreased phagocytosis and respiratory burst of monocytes, and thus is associated with an increased risk for infection.
- The mediators of inflammation, when functioning locally at the site of injury and infection, cytokines mediate the eradication of invading micro-organisms and also promote wound healing. However, an exaggerated proinflammatory cytokine response to inflammatory stimuli may result in hemodynamic instability (i.e., septic shock) and metabolic derangements (muscle wasting).
- Presuming a case:-Among earliest responders after injury; half-life <20 min; activates TNF receptors 1 and 2; induces significant shock and catabolism
-Two forms (IL-1); similar physiologic effects as TNF; induces fevers through prostaglandin activity in anterior hypothalamus; promotes -endorphin release from pituitary; half-life <6 min-That is why IL-1 is called endogenous pyrogen. Besides of fever, IL-1 also causes hyperalgesia (increased pain sensitivity), vasodilation and hypotension.
-Here are some list of common pro-inflammatory cytokine and anti-inflammatory cytokines, some of the specific pro-inflammatory cytokine were mentioned and their specific effects.
-Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are a group of intracellular proteins that are increasingly expressed during times of stress, such as burn injury, inflammation, and infection.-HSPs are presumed to protect cells from the deleterious effects of traumatic stress and, when released by damaged cells, alert the immune system of the tissue damage.-Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are small molecules that are highly reactive due to the presence of unpaired outer orbit electrons. They can cause cellular injury to both host cells and invading pathogens through the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids within cell membranes.--
Eicosanoids mostly generate a proinflammatory response with deleterious host effects and are associated with acute lung injury, pancreatitis, and renal failure. Leukotrienes are potent mediators of capillary leakage as well as leukocyte adherence, neutrophil activation, bronchoconstriction, and vasoconstrictionIt has been said on researches that omega-3 supplementation inhibit inflammation, ameliorate weight loss, increases small bowel perfusion, may increase gut barrier protectionIn a study of surgical patients, supplementation with omega 3 fatty acid associated with decreased production of TNF, interleukin 1B, and Interleukin 6 by endotoxin, pre-operative supplementation and reduced need of mechanical ventilation, decreased hospital length of stay, and decreased mortality
The migration of platelets and neutrophils through the vascular endothelium occurs within 3 hours of injury and is enhanced by serotonin release, platelet-activating factor, and prostaglandin E2 . Platelets are an important source of eicosanoids and vasoactive mediators. A hallmark of the septic response includes thrombocytopenia; however, the mechanism is unclear and likely multifactorial. during critical illness induced by severe trauma or sepsis, there appears to be a predominance of TH2 over TH1 cytokine responses, which may exacerbate immune dysregulation through amplified cytokine signaling In burn injury, T regulatory cells are associated with T-cell suppression via the release of transforming growth factor beta (TGF-), which can downregulate T-cell function. Nutritional supplementation may confer a benefit in T-cell responses, because arginine is essential for T-cell proliferation and receptor function
-Eosinophil activation can lead to subsequent release of toxic mediators, including reactive oxygen species, histamine, and peroxidase-TNF release from mast cells has been found to be crucial for neutrophil recruitment and pathogen clearance. Mast cells are also known to play an important role in the anaphylactic response to allergens.
-itcan differentiate into macrophages, osteoclasts, and dendritic cells on migrating into tissues.-
-I would just like to show this slide, to let you be familiarize on the Molecules involve in the Leukocyte-Endothelial Adhesion, basing on their action, Origin and target cells.
Simplified sequence of selectin-mediated neutrophil-endothelium interaction after an inflammatory stimulus. CAPTURE (tethering), predominantly mediated by cell L-selectin with contribution from endothelial P-selectin, describes the initial recognition between leukocyte and endothelium, in which circulating leukocytes marginate toward the endothelial surface. FAST ROLLING (20 to 50 m/s) is a consequence of rapid L-selectin shedding from cell surfaces and formation of new downstream L-selectin to endothelium bonds, which occur in tandem. SLOW ROLLING (10 to 20 m/s) is predominantly mediated by P-selectins. The slowest rolling (3 to 10 m/s) before arrest is predominantly mediated by E-selectins, with contribution from P-selectins. ARREST (firm adhesion) leading to transmigration is mediated by -integrins and the immunoglobulin family of adhesion molecules. In addition to interacting with the endothelium, activated leukocytes also recruit other leukocytes to the inflammatory site by direct interactions, which are mediated in part by selectins.
-Endothelial interaction with smooth muscle cells and with intraluminal platelets. Prostacyclin (prostaglandin I2, or PGI2 ) is derived from arachidonic acid (AA), and nitric oxide (NO) is derived from L-arginine. The increase in cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) results in smooth muscle relaxation and inhibition of platelet thrombus formation. Endothelins (ETs) are derived from "big ET," and they counter the effects of prostacyclin and NO.
During systemic inflammation, endothelial prostacyclin expression is impaired, and thus the endothelium favors a more procoagulant profile. Prostacyclin therapy during sepsis has been shown to reduce the levels of cytokines, growth factors, and adhesion molecules through a cAMP-dependent pathway. In clinical trials, prostacyclin infusion is associated with increased cardiac output, splanchnic blood flow, and oxygen delivery and consumption with no significant decrease in mean arterial pressure. -At increased concentrations, ETs can disrupt the normal blood flow and distribution and may compromise oxygen delivery to the tissue. In addition, increased plasma ET concentration correlates with the severity of injury after major trauma or major surgical procedures, and in patients with cardiogenic or septic shock.-ANPs are potent inhibitors of aldosterone secretion and prevent reabsorption of sodium
-Understanding of the collective alterations in amino acid (protein), carbohydrate, and lipid metabolism characteristic of the surgical patient lays the foundation upon which metabolic and nutritional support that can be implemented on surgical patient. -Considering almost all surgical px is well nourished / healthy,uncomplicated major surgical procedure,has sufficient fuel reserve and therefore can withstand brief period of catabolic insult and starvation
-In the healthy adult, principal sources of fuel during short-term fasting (<5 days) are derived from muscle protein and body fat, with fat being the most abundant source of energy -During fasting, a healthy 70-kg adult will utilize 180 g of glucose per day to support the metabolism of obligate glycolytic cells such as neurons, leukocytes, erythrocytes, and the renal medullae.HYPOGLYCEMIA – is primary stimulusHormonal Changes: increase cortisol, catecholamines, glucagon, growth hormones
So we tend to ask why we discuss surgical metabolism and nutrition ------- For Surgical Patients that Needs Nutritional Support, Who are this patients?ex: ileostomy patient, burn patientsAnswer: Chronically debilitated from their diseases or malnutrition,Px with suffered severe trauma, sepsis or surgical complications, For surgical patients. As a surgeon, Knowledge on the surgical metabolism and nutrition will help our patient shorten their postoperative recovery phase and minimize the number of surgical complications
-During stress or Acute injury, it is associated with significant alterations in substrate utilization. There is enhanced nitrogen loss, indicative of catabolism. However, Fat remains the primary fuel source under these circumstances. -Carbohydrate Metabolism in Injured Patient: There isHyperglycemia =it is proportional to the severity of injuryImportance: 1.)It is to maintain Homeostatic significance 2.)There should be Ready source of energy to the brainAdequate delivery… So what happened? why is there Hyperglycemia? there is primarily increase in catecholamine, cortisol, glucagon, GH, vasopressin, angiotensin II, somatostatin and decrease insulin
-In this slide you can see the Influence of injury severity on resting metabolism (resting energy expenditure, or REE). The shaded area indicates normal REE. -0-5 days, Fat mobilization (lipolysis) occurs mainly in response to catecholamine stimulus of the hormone-sensitive triglyceride lipase. Other hormonal influences which potentiate lipolysis include adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH),, thyroid hormone, cortisol, glucagon, growth hormone release, reduction in insulin levels, and increased sympathetic stimulus.
-After injury the initial systemic proteolysis, mediated primarily by glucocorticoids, increases urinary nitrogen excretion to levels in excess of 30 g/d, which roughly corresponds to a loss in lean body mass of 1.5% per day. An injured individual who does not receive nutrition for 10 days can theoretically lose 15% lean body mass. Therefore, amino acids cannot be considered a long-term fuel reserve, and indeed excessive protein depletion (i.e., 25 to 30% of lean body weight) is not compatible with sustaining life.Protein catabolism after injury provides substrates for gluconeogenesis and for the synthesis of acute phase proteins-Elective operations and minor injuries result in lower protein synthesis and moderate protein breakdown. Severe trauma, burns, and sepsis are associated with increased protein catabolism. The rise in urinary nitrogen and negative nitrogen balance can be detected early after injury and peak by 7 days. This state of protein catabolism may persist for as long as 3 to 7 weeks. The patient's prior physical status and age appear to influence the degree of proteolysis after injury or sepsis.
The main goal on understanding the metabolic changes in Surgical patients is that: “SLIDES”What are the events of metabolic changes brought about by the stimuli, such as Injury and StarvationAnd the goal to reverse it to homeostasis and repair
-The goal of nutritional support in the surgical patient is to prevent or reverse the catabolic effects of disease or injury. Although several important biologic parameters have been used to measure the efficacy of nutritional regimens, the ultimate validation for nutritional support in surgical patients should be improvement in clinical outcome and restoration of function after surgery.
These equations, adjusted for the type of surgical stress, are suitable for estimating energy requirements in the majority of hospitalized patients
These additional nonprotein calories provided after injury are usually 1.2 to 2.0 times greater than calculated resting energy expenditure, depending on the type of injury. It is seldom appropriate to exceed this level of nonprotein energy intake during the height of the catabolic phase.There is now greater evidence suggesting that increased protein intake, and a lower calorie:nitrogen ratio of 80:1 to 100:1, may benefit healing in selected hypermetabolic or critically ill patients. In the absence of severe renal or hepatic dysfunction precluding the use of standard nutritional regimens
-The requirements for vitamins and essential trace minerals usually can be met easily in the average patient with an uncomplicated postoperative course. Therefore, vitamins usually are not given in the absence of preoperative deficiencies. Patients maintained on elemental diets or parenteral hyperalimentation require complete vitamin and mineral supplementation.-Overfeeding may contribute to clinical deterioration via increased oxygen consumption, increased carbon dioxide production and prolonged need for ventilatory support, fatty liver, suppression of leukocyte function, hyperglycemia, and increased risk of infection.
-Advantages:more physiological (liver not bypassed),safer and more efficient,better tolerated by the patient,more economical-Hyperosmolar solution are better tolerated by the stomach:- Gastric feeding – increase osmolality first then the volume-Small bowel – volume first is increase then osmolalityPrecautions to be observe to prevent reflux/aspiration:30 degree angleConsciousStop feeding at 11 pmUse French 10 and after administration of food clean the tubeProlonged used render the cardia incompetent and sometimes caused stricture
-Malposition of the catheter (pharynx/trachea):-Aspiration -Solute overloading Perforation
Components:CHON:Mixture of single amino acid of synthetic origin, largely produced from “intelligent bacteria” culturesCHO:Provides calories; hypertonic dextrose Fat emulsion:10 or 20% emulsion of soy or safflower oil emulsions, usually emulsified and stabilized with egg phosphatides and lecithin
As Primary Therapy:-TPN influence the disease process:GIT fistula,Renal failure (ATN),Short Bowel Syndrome,Acute Burn (severe trauma),Hepatic failure-With normal bowel length but with malabsorption syndrome due to SPRUE, enzymatic or pancreatic insufficiency, ---Ulcerative colitis, regional enteritisAnorexia nervosa
-Nutritional support can be achieved but alteration in the disease process have not been established.-New born GIT anomalies (TIF, gastrochisis, omphalocele)-Alimentary tract obstruction (achalasia, stricture, carcinoma, pyloric obstruction),Acute radiation enteritis,Acute chemotherapy toxicity,Prolonged ileus,Prolonged respiratory support,Large wound losses
Contraindication of TPN:Lack of specific goal for severe metabolic management (inevitable dying), Cardiovascular instability / severe metabolic derangement, Feasible GIT feeding, Patient with good nutritional status, Infants with less than 3cm of small bowel, Irreversible decerebrate (dehumanized)
The rate of catheter infection is highest for those placed in the femoral vein, lower for those in the jugular vein, and lowest for those in the subclavian vein. When catheters are indwelling for <3 days, infection risks are negligible. If indwelling time is 3 to 7 days, the infection risk is 3 to 5%. Indwelling times of >7 days are associated with a catheter infection risk of 5 to 10%.
-Hyperglycemia may develop with normal rates of infusion in patients with impaired glucose tolerance or in any patient if the hypertonic solutions are administered too rapidly- Intestinal mucosal atrophy, diminished villous height, bacterial overgrowth, reduced lymphoid tissue size, reduced immunoglobulin A production, and impaired gut immunity. The full clinical implications of these changes are not well realized, although bacterial translocation has been demonstrated in animal models.
Vagal afferent system senses peripheral inflammatory focus and also responses to intestinal luminal substrates, in this case enteral lipid signaling via cholecystokinin receptors (CCK-r). Efferent vagal signals limit proinflammatory cytokine production via activation of cholinergic nicotinic receptors on visceral immune cells. Clinical conditions that disrupt the integrity of this circuit may enhance inflammatory responses. Ach = acetylcholine; CCK = cholecystokinin; IL-6 = interleukin-6; TLR = toll-like receptor; TNF = tumor necrosis factor. Nutrition-Induced Inflammatory Modulation-Either enteral or parenteral, may influence stress-induced inflammatory responses. Intravenously fed subjects demonstrate a heightened response to proinflammatory stimuli such as endotoxin. Enteral feedings have been regarded as the feeding mode of choice when possible
