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.
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.

Methods: In this prospective observational study, children aged between 1 month and 18 years with respiratory distress, tachypnea, or both, at triage were included. Concordance and accuracy of the emergency department (ED) and ultrasound diagnoses, length of stay, and time elapsing until ED and ultrasound diagnoses were calculated.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the value of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress markers glucose-regulated protein 78 (GRP78), C/EBP homologous protein (CHOP) and PERK in predicting the success of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) or post-CPR survival.
Materials And Methods: Non-traumatic out-of-hospital CA patients were included in this prospective, nested case-control study. Standard CPR and post-resuscitative care were applied.
Our purpose in this report, involving an unusual mechanism described for the first time in the literature, is to show that high-pressure water sprays used for washing cars can cause injury to the extensor hallucis longus (EHL). A 21-year-old man presented to our emergency department (ED) due to looseness in the hallux. His history revealed that while operating a pressurized water spray machine for car-washing one week before, he had inadvertently sprayed his foot, and despite wearing protective plastic boots this had resulted in a laceration at the level of the hallux, which had been sutured in a state hospital.

Materials And Methods: Twenty-four rats were divided into four groups. Group I and Group III represented the control groups, from which blood and tissue specimens were collected 2 and 6 h after laparotomy without superior mesenteric artery (SMA) ligation.
Objectives: The aim of this study is to compare the diagnostic values of plasma levels of vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) and intestinal fatty acid-binding protein (I-FABP) for diagnosing acute mesenteric ischemia (AMI).
Methods: The study used a randomized, controlled experimental design. Forty-two female Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three control groups and three ischemia groups.
Study Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the acute effects of the electromagnetic waves (EMW) emitted by mobile phones on attention in emergency physicians.
Methods: This single-center, prospective, randomized, double-blinded clinical study was performed among emergency physicians in a tertiary hospital. Thirty emergency physicians were enrolled in the study.
