Do indicators of the posttraumatic inflammatory response correlate with organ failure in patients with multiple injuries?
These data show that the degree of the initial inflammatory response corresponds with the development of posttraumatic organ failure. Besides anatomically and physiologically based trauma scores, these parameters might be used as indicators for the injury severity.
EF-RT alone attains good survival rates in favorable early-stage HD. The 30-Gy dose is adequate for clinically noninvolved areas. Protocol violation worsens the subsequent prognosis. Relapse patterns suggest that systemic therapy can reduce the 20% long-term relapse rate.
