s in kinematics and spatial-temporal characteristics. Obese patients who suffered ULV trauma showed significantly inferior outcomes with larger deviations in joint kinematics. Level III. Level III. The purpose of this study was to reveal the possible influence of the tibial spine area on the occurrence of ACL injury. Thirty-nine subjects undergoing anatomical ACL reconstruction (30 female, 9 male average age 29 ± 15.2) and 37 subjects with intact ACL (21 female, 16 male average age 29 ± 12.5) were included in this study. In the anterior-posterior (A-P) and lateral knee radiograph, the tibial spine area was measured using a PACS system. In axial knee MRI exhibiting the longest femoral epicondylar length, the intercondylar notch area was measured. Tibial spine area, tibial spine area/body height, and tibial spine area/notch area were compared between the ACL tear and intact groups. The A-P tibial spine area of the ACL tear and intact groups was 178 ± 34 and 220.7 ± 58mm , respectively. The lateral tibial spine area of the ACL tear and intact groups was 145.7 ± 36.9 and 178.9 ± 41.7mm , respectively. The tibial spine area was significantly larger in the ACL intact group when compared with the ACL tear group (A-P p = 0.02, lateral p = 0.03). This trend was unchanged even when the tibial spine area was normalized by body height (A-P p = 0.01, lateral p = 0.02). The tibial spine area/notch area of the ACL tear and intact groups showed no significant difference. The A-P and lateral tibial spine area was significantly smaller in the ACL tear group when compared with the ACL intact group. Although the sample size was limited, a small tibial spine might be a cause of knee instability, which may result in ACL injury. Level III. Level III. Many studies have focussed on the implementation and outcomes of geriatric care pathways (GCPs); however, little is known about the possible impact of clinical practices on these pathways. A comparison was made between two traumageriatric care models, one Swiss (CH) and one Dutch (NL), to assess whether these models would perform similarly despite the possible differences in local clinical practices. This cohort study included all patients aged 70years or older with a unilateral hip fracture who underwent surgery in 2014 and 2015. The primary outcomes were mortality and complications. Secondary outcomes were time to surgical intervention, hospital length of stay (HLOS), differences in surgical treatment and the number of patients who needed secondary surgical intervention. A total of 752 patients were included. No differences were seen in mortality at 30days, 90days and 1 year post-operatively. In CH, fewer patients had a complicated course (43.5% vs. Selleckchem ABBV-2222 51.3%; p = 0.048) and fewer patients were diagnosed GCPs for geriatric hip fracture patients showed that quality of care in terms of mortality was equal. The difference in complicated course was mainly caused by a difference in delirium diagnosis. Differences were seen in surgical techniques, operation duration and timing. These clinical practices did not influence the outcome. Since 1963, the poison control center in Berlin has been the central helpline for the Berlin and Brandenburg population on the subject of poisoning. Furthermore, the institution performs avital function in the field of poisoning prevention. The aim of this paper is to describe the development of the volume of consultations and their content from 1999 to 2018. Differences in the urban and rural origin of the callers as well as in the private or professional background of the inquiries are considered. The results will serve to improve prevention work. The case data of the poison control center (1999-2018) were evaluated and analyzed using descriptive statistical methods. Correlations between the categories "origin of call" (u
