Background/objectives: Traditional food markets are essential in urban food environments in Kenya and other low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). They provide affordable fresh food, particularly for low-income urban communities, and are vital places of livelihoods and local economic activities. Despite their importance, associations between market-related factors and diet quality for vendors and consumers are underexplored.

The secondary aim of the study is to assess the ability of POCUS-CAC to detect ROSC during ongoing chest compressions. This prospective study was conducted in a tertiary emergency department between January and June 2023.

- Acute pancreatitis, a serious inflammation of the pancreas, can lead to high morbidity and mortality, often due to causes like gallstones, alcohol, and medications.
- This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of the Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) and Prognostic Nutrition Index (PNI) scores as tools for predicting necrotizing pancreatitis, a severe form of the condition.
- Findings from a study of 339 patients indicated that higher CONUT scores and lower PNI scores were associated with necrotizing pancreatitis, suggesting these scores can help in early identification and potentially improve patient outcomes.
: Spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) is a life-threatening disease that requires early diagnosis and treatment. It is known that a positive culture result for SBP, which is a common reason for admission to the emergency department, is related to the severity and prognosis of the disease. However, as it is not possible to determine the culture result in the early stage of the disease, different methods are required to predict prognosis in the emergency department.

Materials And Methods: In this retrospective single-center study, patients aged 18 and older who visited the emergency department and underwent CCT between January and February 2022 were included. The Mehran score, calculated from patient data, was used to assess risk.
