Diaphragmatic eventration or diaphragmatic herniations are congenital defect that involve abnormal development of the diaphragm and stretching of the muscular fibers leading to protrusion of abdominal organs into the thoracic cavity. Left sided defects will lead to stomach contents into the chest cavity while, right sided defects will have bowel or liver in the thoracic cavity. Infants with Congenital diaphragmatic hernia often present with respiratory distress that can be life-threatening unless treated appropriately. Bedside ultrasound in the Emergency Department, performed by the Emergency Physician can be a very useful tool in diagnosing conditions such as this one. We present a case of diaphragmatic eventration in a two month old male sent to Emergency Department (ED) by his primary care physician due to a severe case of bronchiolitis.

Department of Translational Medicine, Università del Piemonte Orientale, 28100 Novara, Italy.
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is a significant risk factor for liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Traditionally, the primary prevention strategy for HCV-associated HCC has focused on removing infection through antiviral regimes. Currently, highly effective direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) offer extraordinary success across all patient categories, including cirrhotics.

The COVID-19 outbreak, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, was linked to significant neurological and psychiatric manifestations. This review examines the physiopathological mechanisms underlying these neuropsychiatric outcomes and discusses current management strategies. Primarily a respiratory disease, COVID-19 frequently leads to neurological issues, including cephalalgia and migraines, loss of sensory perception, cerebrovascular accidents, and neurological impairment such as encephalopathy.

Vaccines (Basel)
November 2024
Department of Media and Communication, City University of Hong Kong, Kowloon Tong, Hong Kong.
Background: This study aims to illuminate the role of perceived crisis responsibility in shaping vaccination intention. By using the case of Hong Kong during the COVID-19 pandemic, we examined whether and how the allocation of crisis responsibility to the government predicts the public's intention to take vaccines, particularly by investigating its underlying mechanism.
Method And Results: Based on a population-representative sample of Hong Kong adults ( = 3188), our results indicated that (1) the attribution of crisis responsibility directly led to lower vaccination intention, and (2) it also had indirect influences on vaccination intention through trust and anger; specifically, the crisis attribution resulted in less willingness to take vaccines via a decreased trust in government health agencies.

Prehospital medical care is a major challenge for both civilian and military situations as resources are limited, yet critical triage and treatment decisions must be rapidly made. Prehospital medicine is further complicated during mass casualty situations or remote applications that require more extensive medical treatments to be monitored. It is anticipated on the future battlefield where air superiority will be contested that prolonged field care will extend to as much 72 h in a prehospital environment.
