Task shifting roles, interventions and outcomes for kidney and cardiovascular health service delivery among African populations: a scoping review.

Background: Human resources for health (HRH) shortages are a major limitation to equitable access to healthcare. African countries have the most severe shortage of HRH in the world despite rising communicable and non-communicable disease (NCD) burden. Task shifting provides an opportunity to fill the gaps in HRH shortage in Africa.

Triple emergencies: Hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, venous thromboembolism, and huge free-floating right heart thrombus successfully managed with anticoagulation.

A 57-year-old man, with type 2 diabetes mellitus, was admitted with a hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state, who developed in-hospital venous thromboembolism with huge free-floating right heart thrombus, and there is no available optimal treatment option for the huge free-floating right heart thrombus, except anticoagulation with warfarin and low molecular weight heparin with successful outcome.
