Frontoparietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage secondary to anticoagulation
Abstract
The authors present the case of a patient experiencing frontoparietal intraparenchymal hemorrhage. With a history
of a mechanical heart valve due to rheumatic disease, the patient was on warfarin and experienced a warfarin-
associated…

A penetrating aortic ulcer rapidly evolving into aortic dissection in a patient presenting with respiratory tract infection to the emergency department: an acute aortic
syndrome case report
Abstract
Background Penetrating aortic ulcers (PAU) are life-threatening conditions which derive from severely advanced
atherosclerotic lesions of the aorta. The clinical course is unpredictable; thus clinical vigilance should be maintained. It
is…

Bibliometric analysis of depression in post- stroke patients
Abstract
Introduction Stroke is a life-threatening condition that increasingly damages cerebral tissue over time and can lead
to serious post-effects, including depression, which can hinder a patient’s recovery from stroke and reduce quality…

Fundamentals of emergency care support: a blended learning model to improve emergency and trauma care in a low-income country
Abstract
Background The burden of time-sensitive illnesses that require emergency care, such as heart diseases, respiratory
tract infections, and road traffic injuries, is the leading cause of premature deaths. The healthcare providers of…

A systematic review of cost‐effectiveness of treating out of hospital cardiac arrest and the implications for resource‐limited health systems
Abstract
Background Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is a prevalent condition with high mortality and poor outcomes
even in settings where extensive emergency care resources are available. Interventions to address OHCA have had
limited…

Fatal cerebral thrombosis after pericardiectomy
Abstract
Background Pericardiectomy due to constrictive pericarditis is usually safe procedure. There was a rare event of
thrombosis after pericardiectomy, which was mainly accounted by low-cardiac-output syndrome.
Case presentation Here, we…

Airway obstruction due to ingestion of sodium polyacrylate: a case report
Abstract
Background Super-absorbent polymers (SAPs) possess the ability to absorb large amounts of water and are widely
used in medical settings. Commonly used in vomit bags to contain fluids, reduce spillage, and enhance bedside
hygiene, SAPs are…

Sex and 30-day survival following out-of- hospital cardiac arrest in Scotland 2011–2020
Abstract
Background Differences in 30-day survival between males and females following out-of-hospital cardiac arrest
(OHCA) are well documented. Biological sex does not appear to be responsible for this survival gap independently
of potential…

Shark fin ECG pattern in a patient with acute ascending aortic dissection
Abstract
The ‘shark-fin’ ECG-sign is a rare electrocardiographic pattern seen in ACS, typically associated with poor prognosis.
However, its manifestation in acute aortic syndromes remains largely unexplored. Here, we present a case of a
patient…

When flank pain leads to fainting: a case of a ruptured angiomyolipoma diagnosed by point-of-care ultrasound
Abstract
Background Acute flank pain is a common presentation in the Emergency Department (ED). Point-of-care
ultrasound (PoCUS) has emerged as an invaluable tool in the evaluation of acute flank pain and provides real-time
images resulting in the…
