5%). 301 patients (5%) suffered a trauma with an ISS ≥ 9 on a foehn day. The mean ISS was 20.2 (9-75). On average, 4.3 patients (0-15 patients) were admitted on a daily basis due to a severe trauma. The multivariate regression analysis revealed a daily increase of 0.87 individuals (p = 0.004; 95% CI 0.23-1.47) on foehn days. During spring 1.07 patients (p = < 0.001; 95% CI 0.72-1.42), in summer 1.98 patients (p = < 0.001; 95% CI 1.63-2.32), in fall 0.63 (p = < 0.001; 95% CI 0.28-0.97) and on Saturdays, 0.59 patients (p = < 0.001; 95% CI 0.24-0.93) were additionally admitted due to severe trauma. Foehn winds are significantly associated with severe trauma in trauma centers of the TraumaNetzwerk DGU®. Foehn winds are significantly associated with severe trauma in trauma centers of the TraumaNetzwerk DGU®. Various studies have described the efficacy and safety of the treatment for unstable thoracolumbar osteoporotic burst fracture, however, there is still no consensus on the optimal treatment regimen. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical and radiographic results of posterior short segment fixation including the fractured vertebra (PSFFV) combined with kyphoplasty (KP) for unstable thoracolumbar osteoporotic burst fracture. Forty-three patients with unstable thoracolumbar osteoporotic burst fracture underwent PSFFV combined with KP from January 2015 to December 2017 were analyzed retrospectively. Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index (ODI) was used to evaluate the clinical outcome, radiological parametres including local kyphotic Cobb angle, percentage of the anterior, middle and posterior height of the fractured vertebra were measured and compared pre-operation, post-operation and at final follow-up. All patients underwent surgery successfully and with an average follow-u osteoporotic burst fracture. PSFFV combined with KP is a reliable and safe procedure with satisfactory clinical and radiological results for the treatment of unstable thoracolumbar osteoporotic burst fracture. Within the sphere of diabetes self-management, much emphasis has been placed on medication adherence. There has been a shift in thinking about medication adherence, moving from "compliance" and historically paternalistic models of care, to seeking better ways of characterizing dynamic and complex relationships that determine medication adherence and diabetes control. This study sought to understand the relationship between patient's attitudes and medication adherence for oral anti-diabetics in Thailand. In-depth interviews of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, taking oral anti-diabetic drugs, at the out-patient clinic run by the Department of Family Medicine, Chiang Mai University between May and December 2016. Thematic analysis followed the WHO framework for medication adherence in chronic disease to explore patient's attitudes and their influence on medication compliance. Of 24 patients, 9 were men. The mean age was 62 years (SD 8.9 years). 67% had high compliance. Four themes were identified as ter patient trust in the health care team. JTZ-951 mw This trust, along with family support, helps deepen patients' understanding of the disease, accept the chronic nature of their disease, and engenders a positive attitude towards taking medication that can improve medication adherence. Emergency care research into 'Silver Trauma', which is simply defined as major trauma consequent upon relatively minor injury mechanisms, is facing many challenges including that at present, there is no clear prioritisation of the issues. This study aimed to determine the top research priorities to guide future research. This consensus-based prioritization exercise used a three-stage modified Delphi technique. The study consisted of an idea generating (divergent) first round, a ranking evaluation in the second round, and a (con
