Article Synopsis
- - Acute chest pain (ACP) leads to many Emergency Department visits worldwide, necessitating quick and accurate diagnoses to address various serious conditions like acute coronary syndrome and pulmonary embolism.
- - Misdiagnosis can either prevent crucial medical interventions or result in unnecessary hospital admissions, putting a strain on healthcare resources.
- - Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) enhances diagnostic accuracy for ACP, helping doctors effectively assess patients, as illustrated through a clinical case showing its critical role in identifying unclear symptoms.

Methods: Children with a positive result of nasopharyngeal swab for severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) underwent laboratory tests, anal and conjunctival swab, electrocardiography, lung, abdomen, and cardiac ultrasound. Twenty-four-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was performed if abnormal basal blood pressure.
Introduction: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is the most accurate and cost-effective method for evaluating thyroid nodules. We have reported a rare complication related to the procedure: severe retropharyngeal cellulitis.
Case Presentation: A thirty-five-year-old female was admitted to hospital with hoarseness, laryngeal stridor and dyspnea without fever that emerged about 3 days after a first diagnostic FNA.
Objective: Social media allows user-generated content and dialog between users and has also entered into the domain of healthcare. The purpose of this study was to compare the use of Twitter at the Australasian College of Emergency Medicine Annual Scientific Meeting (ACEM ASM) from 2011 to 2014 and analyze its ability to spread emergency medicine education.
Materials And Methods: Retrospectively, TweetReach was utilized to analyze relevant tweets.
