The role of point‐of‐care ultrasound in the assessment of pelvic urine leakage and diagnosis of urinoma
Background Urinoma, a rare condition resulting from urine leakage due to trauma to the kidney, bladder, or urethra,
is typically diagnosed using enhanced computed tomography urogram with delayed imaging. This report presents
two cases of urinoma…

Evaluating the one‐time chair stand test for predicting the coronavirus disease severity in patients during hospital admission: a cohort study in Japan
Background This study aimed to understand whether the one-time chair stand test (CS-1) is useful for predicting the
severity of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) in 101 patients admitted to the hospital with acute respiratory failure.
Methods This…

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation treatment for acute respiratory distress syndrome and non‐occlusive mesenteric ischemia due to Pasteurella multocida‐related sepsis with purpura fulminans: a case report
Background Pasteurella multocida-related sepsis can cause purpura fulminans (PF), a rare thrombotic disorder that
often presents acutely and is potentially fatal. As a consequence of disseminated intravascular coagulation, this
hematological…

Clinical factors associated with adverse clinical outcomes in elderly versus non‐elderly COVID‐19 emergency patients: a multi‐center observational study
Background The COVID-19 pandemic has caused over 6 million deaths worldwide. The elderly accounted for a
large proportion of patients with their mortality rate largely higher than the non-elderly. However, limited studies
have explored clinical…

A role of point‐of‐care ultrasound in the emergency department diagnosis
of vision loss due to traumatic cataract
Background Ocular complaints, including acute or subacute vision loss, are commonly encountered in emergency
departments (ED). These potentially time-sensitive complaints are difficult to diagnose and evaluate without ade-
quate, specialized…

Paediatric procedural sedation and analgesia in a South African emergency centre: a single‐centre, descriptive study
Background Procedural sedation and analgesia are considered a core competency in emergency medicine as
patients present to the emergency centre on an unscheduled basis, often with complex complaints that necessitate
emergent management. Previous…

BRASD trial: biomechanical reposition techniques in anterior shoulder dislocation—a randomized multicenter clinical trial
Background Biomechanical reduction techniques for shoulder dislocations have demonstrated high reduction
success rates with a limited pain experience for the patient. We postulated that the combination of biomechanical
reduction techniques with the…

Acute hydrocephalus caused by a colloid cyst — a case report
Background Colloid cysts are rare benign, slowly growing intracranial tumors of endodermal origin. Most colloid
cysts are found incidentally and are asymptomatic, but rarely, they can lead to sudden death.
Case presentation A 73-year-old female…
