Canine olfactory detection and its relevance for the medical identification of patients with COVID-19.

Introduction: The assessment of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) in exhaled breath or sweat represents a potential non-invasive and rapid diagnostic tool for respiratory diseases.

Objective: To determine if trained dogs can reliably identify the odour associated with COVID19.

Methods: This is a monocentric prospective study carried out in the Emergency Department (ED) of a university hospital fromJulyto November 2021.

Melatonin, vitamins and minerals supplements for the treatment of Covid-19 and Covid-like illness: A prospective, randomized, double-blind multicenter study.

Background: Melatonin, zinc, and multivitamins are among most recommended supplements in the fight against coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). We aimed to examine the efficacy and safety of this association in the treatment of COVID-19 and COVID-like illnesses.

Methods: We conducted a multicenter prospective, randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.

Value of nitroglycerin test in the diagnosis of heart failure in emergency department patients with undifferentiated dyspnea.

Background: Rapid diagnosis of heart failure (HF) in acutely dyspneic patients can be challenging for emergency department (ED) physicians.

Hypothesis: Cardiac output (CO) change with sublingual nitroglycerin (NTG) could be helpful in the diagnosis of HF in patients with acute undifferentiated dyspnea.

Materials And Methods: A prospective study of patients >18 years admitted to the ED for acute dyspnea.

Bedside lung ultrasonography by emergency department residents as an aid for identifying heart failure in patients with acute dyspnea after a 2-h training course.

Background: Ultrasonographic B-lines have recently emerged as a bedside imaging tool for the differential diagnosis of acute dyspnea in the Emergency Department (ED). However, despite its simplicity, LUS has not fully penetrated emergency department. This study aimed to assess the accuracy and reproducibility of ultrasonographic B-lines performed by emergency medicine (EM) residents for the diagnosis of congestive heart failure (CHF) in patients admitted to ED for acute dyspnea.

Inhaled nitrous oxide during the make stitches : Randomized double blind prospective study.

Introduction: Inhaled nitrous oxide (MEOPA) ensures short-term analgesia of a patient in spontaneous ventilation through a mask. It ensures analgesic coverage during the painful gesture while saving to the patient the phenomena of memorization.

Aim: To study the efficacy and safety of the use of MEOPA during the make stitches.

Ketoprofen versus Diclofenac sodium in the treatment of renal colic.

Introduction: Adult renal colic is a frequent lombo-abdominal painful syndrome in emergencies. Treatment is based on nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID) but the choice between different NSAIDs remains a subject of controversy. Our aim was to compare the efficacy and the safety of two intramuscularly NSAIDs in renal colic.
