Introduction: Dihydropyridines calcium channel blockers at high dose can have conduction abnormalities, reduced inotropism, and non-cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (NCPE) which otherwise, at standard dosage have only vascular selectivity. They remain one of the commonly used anti-hypertensive exhibiting very lethal outcomes (50% mortality rates) in its overdose.
Case Presentation: The authors present a case of a 21-year-old male with amlodipine intoxication with 43 tabs of 10 mg (total of 430 mg) ingestion manifested by loss of consciousness, hypotension, tachycardia, and respiratory distress.
Key Clinical Message: Dulaglutide is a relatively unpopular GLP-1 receptor agonist used for weight loss. This case demonstrates that dulaglutide may be beneficial for weight loss in morbidly obese patients with multiple comorbidities after thoroughly evaluating its efficacy, benefits, and long-term adverse effects through clinical trials.
Abstract: We present a case of a 27-year-old ex-sumo wrestler with bipolar II disorder, morbid obesity, hypertension, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (DM), and a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 49.
Introduction: Pediatric abdominal trauma presents a major challenge for first-line responders in the Emergency Department for assessment and management. The Focused assessment sonography for trauma is a readily available, easy-to-use, and affordable tool for detecting hemoperitoneum during the initial assessment of trauma in the Emergency Department for adult traumatic patients. The aim of this study was to find the prevalence of hemoperitoneum among pediatric abdominal trauma patients visiting the Emergency Department of tertiary care centre through Focused assessment with sonography for trauma examination technique.

- Thoracoabdominal trauma poses a diagnostic challenge for emergency physicians, but bedside ultrasonography (EFAST) helps in quickly identifying severe injuries like hemoperitoneum and pneumothorax during the initial assessment.
- A study conducted at Dhulikhel Hospital in Nepal evaluated the accuracy of EFAST performed by first responders on trauma patients and compared its results against more traditional imaging methods.
- The findings showed high sensitivity (94.8%) and specificity (99.5%) of EFAST, confirming its effectiveness in detecting major injuries, but noted that operator dependence could lead to potential errors, warranting a monitoring period for negative cases.
