Diagnostic laparoscopy with indocyanine green fluorescence test for the evaluation of intestinal perfusion in abdominal blunt injury: a case report
Abstract
Background The indocyanine green (ICG) fluorescence test has become a standard test in surgical procedures,
facilitating the assessment of blood perfusion in real-time. While its utility in emergency surgeries for evaluating
anastomotic…

Development of decision tree classification algorithms in predicting mortality of COVID‐19 patients
Abstract
Introduction The accurate prediction of COVID-19 mortality risk, considering influencing factors, is crucial in guiding
effective public policies to alleviate the strain on the healthcare system. As such, this study aimed to assess the…

Catheter‐related gas‐forming suppurative thrombophlebitis
Catheter-related suppurative thrombophlebitis (CRST) is a complication of catheter-related bloodstream infection
(CRBSI). The microbiology of CRST is similar with the microbiology of CRBSI, but Clostridium perfringens that causes gas
gangrene is…

Case report: a case of AL amyloidosis with spontaneous giant retroperitoneal hematoma
Abstract
Background Systemic amyloidosis is a kind of clinical syndrome in which amyloid is deposited between the cells
of various organs in the body, resulting in gradual failure of the function of the affected organs. Depending on the site
of…

Manual flagging failed to identify pseudohyperkalemia in acute myeloid
leukemia: case report
Abstract
Background Pseudohyperkalemia is well known in acute or chronic lymphocytic leukemia, but it is very rare in acute
myeloid leukemia (AML). The lab flagging system for leukocytosis to prevent pseudohyperkalemia may not work.

Cervical epidural hematoma: a case series highlighting uncommon causes
Abstract
Background Cervical epidural hematoma (CEH) is a rare but potentially devastating condition, characterized by
the accumulation of blood within the epidural space of the cervical spine, leading to spinal cord compression
(Perron AD, Huff…

Factors and clinical prediction score for complication development after cellulitis diagnosis in adult patients
Abstract
Background Cellulitis is defined as a bacterial infection of the skin and subcutaneous tissue that can cause multiple
complications, such as sepsis and necrotizing fasciitis. In extreme cases, it may lead to multiorgan failure and…

The effect of time to neurosurgical or neuroradiological intervention therapy on outcomes and quality of care after traumatic brain injury, a registry-based observational study
Abstract
Background Evidence regarding the effect of time to neurosurgical and neuroradiological intervention on outcomes
in traumatic brain injury (TBI) across Asia-Pacific region is limited. This study evaluates the quality of care and
outcomes…

The wolf in sheep’s clothing: vasovagal syncope in acute aortic dissection
Abstract
Background The presentation of acute aortic dissection can pose a challenge for emergency physicians, as it may
occur without pain. Atypical presentations can lead to significant delays in diagnosis and increased mortality rates.
