Acute aortic dissection is a cardiovascular emergency that should be recognised on presentation in the Emergency Department (ED) because clinical outcome is time-dependent. In suspected cases of acute aortic dissection, immediate imaging with chest computed tomography scan followed by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) is essential to confirm diagnosis. Immediate medical management is aimed at controlling the heart rate (60-80 beats/min), systolic blood pressure (100-120 mmHg) and pain.

- Researchers found that the LARGE gene is crucial for how Lassa virus binds and enters human cells, linking it to natural selection in populations in Nigeria, particularly the Yoruba.
- They suggest that the rise of diseases like Lassa fever is more about increased detection capabilities than the emergence of new viruses, indicating humans may have been exposed to these pathogens for longer than thought.
- This groundwork inspired the Sentinel project, aimed at early detection and characterization of pathogens globally through its core strategies of detection, information sharing, and empowering public health systems to enhance pandemic preparedness.
Background. The diagnosis and treatment of massive pericardial effusion and cardiac tamponade have evolved over the years with a tendency towards a more comprehensive diagnostic workup and less traumatic intervention. Method.
