[Traumatic osteoarticular radiography: indications and systematic interpretation].

In most cases, conventional radiology interpretations are straightforward, enabling a precise diagnosis to be made by combining them with a range of anamnestic and clinical arguments. However, omitting post-traumatic osteoarticular anomalies when interpreting radiographs can have serious functional consequences for the patient. In order to prevent diagnostic errors, it is essential to be aware of certain rules governing the indication of imaging and its systematic interpretation.

[Assessment of frailty in the elderly and use of geriatric scores in emergencies].

According to the WHO, frailty in the elderly is a geriatric syndrome resulting from a reduction in functional reserves, limiting the body's ability to respond to even minor stress, leading to increased vulnerability to the risk of falling, hospitalization and functional decline. Being sometimes reversible, it is essential to detect fragility early, in order to prevent it. Several scores are validated for the evaluation and diagnosis of the frailty of the elderly person hospitalized but not in the emergency room.

[Telemedicine and emergency medicine].

With the rise of technology and digitization, telemedicine is a communication tool that facilitates remote care. By helping healthcare professionals in assessing, diagnosing, referring or even treating patients, this tool offers an alternate way to the consultations in emergency departments, which are increasingly overloaded with non-urgent consultations. Telemedicine can therefore be of invaluable help in restoring emergency services to their primary mission, which is to deal with emergency situations as quickly as possible and in the best possible conditions for patients and caregivers.

[Syncope or palpitations during pregnancy].

Syncope and palpitations are common symptoms during pregnancy ; they are elicited by physiological changes. Although they are often benign, careful management is essential to eliminate a serious aetiology requiring specialized care. Syncope is often of vasovagal origin, but trauma with possible secondary lesions that compromise the life-threatening of the mother and foetus must be researched.
