Emergency Response to Tizanidine Overdose: A Case Report on Critical Care Strategies.

A 75-year-old woman with multiple comorbidities presented with altered mental status, bradycardia, and hypotension following the ingestion of tizanidine. Emergency medical services (EMS) promptly initiated pacing and administered vasopressors, leading to the patient's recovery to her baseline condition after receiving supportive care. ECG findings indicated pre-existing cardiac abnormalities.

Diffuse Alveolar Hemorrhage: A Rare Complication of Severe Hypertension.

Severe hypertension is a rare cause of diffuse alveolar hemorrhage. We reported a case of a 43-year-old woman who presented with shortness of breath, hemoptysis, and severe hypertension. The patient was diagnosed with diffuse alveolar hemorrhage due to severe hypertension which improved after controlling her blood pressure.

A Severe Case of Disseminated Multifocal Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcal Infection in a Diabetic Patient.

Methicillin-susceptible (MSSA) is quite common in the environment. It can lead to a wide range of infections varying from simple boils to disseminated and metastatic infections. Disseminated multifocal MSSA infection without infective endocarditis is extremely rare.

Intracranial Lipoma Extending Extracranially in a Five-Year-Old Patient.

Intracranial lipomas are one of the rarest brain lesions. It is thought to form due to abnormal persistence and differentiation of the meninx. Here we report a unique case of a five-year-old male child with no known chronic medical illnesses and with no history of previous surgeries or allergic problems.

A Rare Case of Bilateral Popliteal Artery Occlusion.

Peripheral arterial disease (PAD) is a common condition of the upper and lower extremities caused by atherosclerosis. It is often accompanied by symptomatic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease and is a major risk factor for amputation of an extremity. Timely diagnosis and intervention can prevent morbidity in these patients.

Teaching Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo to Emergency Medicine Residents by Using Gagne's Nine Steps of Instructional Design.

Introduction: Patients commonly seek medical advice with dizziness symptoms. One of the common subtypes of dizziness is benign paroxysmal positional vertigo (BPPV). The American Academy of Neurology recommends that physicians should be trained in the physical maneuvers for the treatment of BPPV.

Uncommon presentation of craniospinal tuberculosis.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection with multisystem presentations. Involvement of the central nervous system (CNS) is considered the most lethal form among all types. In addition to possible fatality, CNS TB has serious neurological sequelae.

A Case of Spinal Epidural Abscess Presenting with Horner Syndrome.

A spinal epidural abscess (SEA) is an uncommon disease, but it is associated with significant morbidity. SEA can be promoted by multiple risk factors. Moreover, the diagnosis of SEA usually requires the presence of a classic triad of back pain, fever, and neurological deficit, hence, the difficulty in making the diagnosis if presented otherwise.

Objective: To determine frequency of hepatitis-C in dialysis patients at start of hemodialysis, seroconversion from HCV negative to HCV positive over study duration and factors affecting seroconversion.

Methods: This descriptive prospective observational study done in dialysis center of DHQ hospital Sheikhupura, Punjab, Pakistan. The study was conducted from October 2016 to October 2017.

-associated sepsis presenting as acute abdomen: do we need to think outside the box?

is a commensal bacterium commonly found in the oral cavity of dogs and cats. Although this organism rarely causes infection, prompt diagnosis is crucial for survival of these patients. Several unusual clinical presentations of this infection have been reported in the published medical literature.

Delivering safe and effective analgesia for management of renal colic in the emergency department: a double-blind, multigroup, randomised controlled trial.

Background: The excruciating pain of patients with renal colic on presentation to the emergency department requires effective analgesia to be administered in the shortest possible time. Trials comparing intramuscular non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs with intravenous opioids or paracetamol have been inconclusive because of the challenges associated with concealment of randomisation, small sample size, differences in outcome measures, and inadequate masking of participants and assessors. We did this trial to develop definitive evidence regarding the choice of initial analgesia and route of administration in participants presenting with renal colic to the emergency department.
