The predictive value of modified soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) with National Early Warning Score (NEWS) for mortality in emergency elderly patients in Japan: a prospective pilot study.

Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the ability of soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) and modified suPAR with National Early Warning Score (NEWS) for detecting mortality in elderly emergency patients who are older than 70 years.

Methods: This is a secondary analysis of our previous study, which was a single-center prospective pilot study, carried out for 21 months in the emergency department of a secondary emergency institution in Japan. This study was carried out between September 16, 2020, and June 21, 2022.

Ability of combined soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor to predict preventable emergency attendance in older patients in Japan: a prospective pilot study.

Soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor (suPAR) is a strong and nonspecific inflammatory biomarker that reflects various immunologic reactions, organ damage, and risk of mortality in the general population. Although prior research in acute medical patients showed that an elevation in suPAR is related to intensive care unit admission and risk of readmission and mortality, no studies have focused on the predictive value of suPAR for preventable emergency attendance (PEA). This study aims to evaluate the predictive value of suPAR, which consists of a combination of white blood cell count (WBC), C-reactive protein (CRP), and the National Early Warning Score (NEWS), for PEA in older patients (>65 years) without trauma who presented to the emergency department (ED).

A case of severe hemorrhagic shock caused by traumatic avulsion of uterine fibroid.

Case Presentation: A 40-year-old woman was injured in a motor vehicle accident. Physician-staffed helicopter emergency medical service (HEMS) was dispatched, and after the HEMS physician performed thoracostomy and tracheal intubation to relieve the tension pneumothorax and hemorrhagic shock, her carotid artery became unpalpable. The physician then decided to perform prehospital resuscitative thoracotomy.

The evaluation of factors affecting antibody response after administration of the BNT162b2 vaccine: a prospective study in Japan.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibody reaction after administration of the BNT162b2 vaccine, and to reveal the factors that affect antibody production. This prospective study was carried out in the Association of EISEIKAI Medical and Healthcare Corporation Minamitama Hospital, in Tokyo, Japan, from April 15, 2021 to June 09, 2021. All our hospital's workers who were administered the BNT162b2 vaccine as part of a routine program were included in this study.

Emergent surgery for cardiac herniation coexisting with complex blunt cardiac injury: A case report.

A 38-year-old man was pressed on his trunk by a heavy object weighing about 100 kg. The patient was in shock status on arrival to the hospital. Circular collapse progressed rapidly during contrast computed tomography (CT) scanning.
