Correlation between the warning symptoms and prognosis of cardiac arrest.

Background: A low survival rate in patients with cardiac arrest is associated with failure to recognize the condition in its initial stage. Therefore, recognizing the warning symptoms of cardiac arrest in the early stage may play an important role in survival.

Aim: To investigate the warning symptoms of cardiac arrest and to determine the correlation between the symptoms and outcomes.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis with systemic lupus erythematosus: case report and review of the literature.

Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) and Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) are potentially fatal mucocutaneous diseases characterized by extensive necrosis and exfoliation of the epidermis. TEN and SJS are most often caused by various kinds of drugs. Other risk factors for SJS/TEN include pneumonia infection, HIV infection, genetic factors, underlying immune diseases, and tumors.

Distribution and drug resistance of pathogenic bacteria in emergency patients.

Background: Antibiotic resistance has become a global threat for human health, calling for rational use of antibiotics.

Aim: To analyze the distribution and drug resistance of the bacteria, providing the prerequisite for use of antibiotics in emergency patients.

Methods: A total of 2048 emergency patients from 2013 to 2017 were enrolled.

Performance of Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 In Predicting Hospital Mortality In Emergency Intensive Care Unit.

Background: Since the 1980s, severity of illness scoring systems has gained increasing popularity in Intensive Care Units (ICUs). Physicians used them for predicting mortality and assessing illness severity in clinical trials. The objective of this study was to assess the performance of Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS 3) and its customized equation for Australasia (Australasia SAPS 3, SAPS 3 [AUS]) in predicting clinical prognosis and hospital mortality in emergency ICU (EICU).
