Clinical epidemiology and outcomes of emergency department-acute kidney injury: A systematic review.

Background: Over half of all community-acquired acute kidney injury (CA-AKI) initially presented to emergency department (ED), but emergency department acute kidney injury (ED-AKI) is poorly characterised, poorly understood with no systematic review, often under-recognized and under-managed.

Objective: To review the incidence, risk factors, and outcomes of ED-AKI, and risk factors of post-ED-AKI mortality globally.

Methods: We included published prospective or retrospective observational studies, controlled trials, and systematic reviews reporting AKI in adult ED attendees within 24 h of ED admission.

Towards a global partnership model in interprofessional education for cross-sector problem-solving.

Objectives: A partnership model in interprofessional education (IPE) is important in promoting a sense of global citizenship while preparing students for cross-sector problem-solving. However, the literature remains scant in providing useful guidance for the development of an IPE programme co-implemented by external partners. In this pioneering study, we describe the processes of forging global partnerships in co-implementing IPE and evaluate the programme in light of the preliminary data available.

Students' interaction anxiety and social phobia in interprofessional education in Hong Kong: mapping a new research direction.

Background: Interprofessional education (IPE) has been promoted as a breakthrough in healthcare because of the impact when professionals work as a team. However, despite its inception dating back to the 1960s, its science has taken a long time to advance. There is a need to theorize IPE to cultivate creative insights for a nuanced understanding of IPE.

Autonomous motivation predicts students' engagement and disaffection in interprofessional education: Scale adaptation and application.

Objectives: Despite the popularity of interprofessional education, the empirical and theoretical development of its scholarship and science is just emerging. This may be caused in part by the non-availability of measures that can be used by researchers in this field. This study aimed to contribute to the psychological theorizing of interprofessional education by uncovering the psychometric properties of Perceived Locus of Causality adapted to Interprofessional Education (PLOC-IPE) in healthcare education and provide a comprehensive guide on how this can be used to advance the IPE research agenda.

Serum ceruloplasmin monitoring in a case of silver intoxication due to intravenous silver infusion.

Introduction: Colloidal silver packaged as a dietary supplement is readily available online and is thought to be safe. Literature describing its toxicity in humans is scarce.

Case Report: A 47-year-old man presented to us for sensory and gait problems.

Supraventricular tachycardia and acute confusion following ingestion of e-cigarette fluid containing AB-FUBINACA and ADB-FUBINACA: a case report with quantitative analysis of serum drug concentrations.

Background: AB-FUBINACA and ADB-FUBINACA are structurally similar synthetic cannabinoids with potent CB receptor agonistic effects. Very little is known about their pharmacology and toxicology.

Objective: To report a case of supraventricular tachycardia and acute confusion after ingestion of e-cigarette fluid containing AB-FUBINACA and ADB-FUBINACA, with quantitative analysis of the serum drug concentrations.

Can prehospital Modified Early Warning Score identify non-trauma patients requiring life-saving intervention in the emergency department?

Objective: We aim to investigate whether prehospital Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) can identify non-trauma patients requiring life-saving intervention (LSI) within 4 h of presentation to the ED.

Methods: It was a prospective study of non-trauma ED patients by ambulance who were 16 years or older from 1 to 27 November 2013. Prehospital MEWS was calculated according to vital signs measured by the ambulance crew.
