Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on identifying critical patients in emergency departments to promptly reduce high mortality rates by evaluating specific clinical parameters.
- It analyzes key indicators like the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS), quick Sepsis-related Organ Failure Assessment (qSOFA), blood gas base excess (BE), and lactate levels in predicting mortality in critically ill patients.
- Results showed that among 868 patients, GCS, qSOFA, and lactate levels effectively predicted 30-day mortality, with qSOFA proving to be the most accurate model at a threshold of ≥1.
Article Synopsis
- - The study assessed trauma CT interpretation proficiency among emergency medicine residents in Turkey, finding a median accuracy rate of 64.9% with factors influencing interpretation performance analyzed.
- - Four main factors linked to interpretation failure were identified: shorter interpretation times, lower self-confidence, over-reliance on radiology reports, and lack of departmental training programs.
- - The findings suggest the necessity for improved educational strategies in radiology for emergency medicine residents to enhance their skills in trauma CT interpretation and ultimately improve patient care outcomes.
Background: Inspiratory muscle training (IMT) and oropharyngeal exercises (OE) have different advantages and disadvantages and a comparison of these modalities has been recommended. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of IMT and OE on important outcomes for patients with OSAS.
Methods: This was a randomized controlled clinical trial.
Huntington disease (HD) is an autosomal dominant progressive neurodegenerative disorder associated with expanded CAG repeat size in the huntingtin gene and usually presenting with movement disorder, psychiatric symptoms, and cognitive decline. Sleep problems, weight loss, and cachexia are also common. Here, we report a patient presenting with hypothermia in late-stage HD.

Materials And Methods: The study included 25 male and 5 female patients referred to our clinic who were diagnosed with COPD, according to spirometry and PaO2 values, and who did not show pathology upon autoscopic examination. The control group consisted of 14 female and 16 male patients who had no lung disease and were in the same age range as the COPD group.
