Artificial Intelligence for Detecting Acute Fractures in Patients Admitted to an Emergency Department: Real-Life Performance of Three Commercial Algorithms.

Rationale And Objectives: Interpreting radiographs in emergency settings is stressful and a burden for radiologists. The main objective was to assess the performance of three commercially available artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms for detecting acute peripheral fractures on radiographs in daily emergency practice.

Materials And Methods: Radiographs were collected from consecutive patients admitted for skeletal trauma at our emergency department over a period of 2 months.

3D-printed protected face shields for health care workers in Covid-19 pandemic.

The coronavirus pandemic resulted in a shortage of protective equipment. To meet the request of eye-protecting devices, an interdisciplinary consortium involving practitioners, researchers, engineers and technicians developed and manufactured thousands of inexpensive 3D-printed face shields, inside hospital setting. This action leads to the concept of "concurrent, agile, and rapid engineering".

[Napping in the emergency department at Evreux hospital in Normandy].

Seeking to improve the working conditions in the reception of the emergency department, a hospital team has implemented a protocol aiming to promote and encourage the practice of napping for all medical and paramedical staff. Under less stress, even if successive 24- or 12-hour on-call shifts remain difficult, the professionals perceive a benefit in terms of quality of working life. This helps them make lucid decisions and perform procedures with dexterity, at any time of the day or night.

Polyamphoteric washing solutions (PWS) have been used for several years, mainly in industries, for cases of chemical ocular or cutaneous splashes by acid or alkali. We collected 37 cases reporting the use of PWS for ocular and cutaneous chemical splashes from several centres. Among the 37 cases, 55.
