E-HEART score: A novel scoring system for undifferentiated chest pain in the emergency department.

Objective: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. As there is an increase in the global burden of ischemic heart disease, there are multiple scoring systems established in the emergency department (ED) to risk stratify and manage acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in patients with chest pain. The objective of this study was to integrate point-of-care echo into the existing history, electrocardiogram, age, risk factors, and troponin (HEART) score and evaluate a novel scoring system, the echo HEART (E-HEART) score in risk stratification of patients presenting with undifferentiated chest pain to the ED.

Evaluating the Use of E-Learning in Indian Emergency Medicine Residency Programs During the COVID-19 Pandemic: A National Cross-Sectional Survey.

Objective: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic has necessitated e-learning strategies in academic emergency medicine (EM) programs. A study was conducted during the COVID-19 pandemic to understand e-learning in the Indian EM context.

Methods: After IEC/IRB approval, we conducted a multicenter national survey validated by experts and underwent multiple reviews by the research team.

Management of Distal Femur Unicondylar Fractures by Calcaneal Buttress Plating: A Prospective Interventional Study.

Background: Unicondylar fracture of distal femur accounts for less than 1% of all femoral fractures. As conservative methods have shown substandard results, traditional surgical treatment includes open reduction and internal fixation by Herbert screws, cannulated screws, and conventional lateral locking plates. Though screw fixation has excellent results over long run, there is literature documenting the loosening and loss of articular congruency in elderly patients and in comminuted fracture patterns.
