S100ß protein for non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage diagnosis.

Introduction: The S100ß protein (PS100ß) is a biomarker, which has demonstrated its importance in diagnoses ruling out intracranial hemorrhages in people with light head traumas This study aims to evaluate if the PS100ß presents an interest in the diagnostic strategy for subarachnoid hemorrhages (SAH).

Methods: Prospective non-randomized multicentric study in three hospitals from October 2018 to January 2020. Every patient who came into the emergency department for an intense non-traumatic headache lasting less than 3 h received an PS100ß assay and a non-injected head computed tomography (CT) scan.

Long-term consequences of electrical injury without initial signs of severity: The AFTER-ELEC study.

Background: There is no specificity of emergency or long-term management of benign electrical injuries (EI). The main objective of our work was to describe the occurrence of long-term complications of EI considered as benign.

Methods: Single-center retrospective study of a cohort of adult patients who consulted for EI without initials signs of severity in an emergency department between 2012 and 2019.

What's the hospitalisation's impact on background treatments of patients over 65 years.

As our population aging increases, it requires a particular attention from the health system. Indeed, elderly are often frail, with several diseases and presenting high risk of adverse drug accident. Prescribing appropriately to the elderly has become an important matter.

A 78-year-old woman with an acute eosinophilic gastroenteritis.

Eosinophil accumulation in the gastrointestinal tract is a common feature of numerous disorders including mainly parasitic infection, drug-induced allergic reactions, inflammatory bowel disease, and various connective tissue disorders. Digestive tissue eosinophilia requires thorough searching for secondary causes that may be specifically treated with antibiotics, dietary and drug elimination or immunosuppressive therapy. Frequency, prognosis and therapeutic implications must guide the diagnostic course.
