Incidence and risk factors of contrast-
associated acute kidney injury in patients
hospitalised after contrast-enhanced
computed tomography in the emergency
department
Abstract
Background Since 1930 it has been accepted that intravenous injection of iodinated contrast agent as part of
contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CE-CT) imaging can induce a contrast-associated acute kidney injury
(CA-AKI). For the last…

Inserting a venoarterial extracorporeal
membrane oxygenation drainage cannula
into the inferior vena cava through the
internal jugular vein in a patient with an
inferior vena cava filter
Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is a critical treatment for patients with massive
pulmonary embolism (PE) complicated by refractory cardiogenic shock. In this case, an inferior vena cava (IVC) filter
and iliac vein…

Instantaneous rigor - the challenge of securing an airway in cardiac arrest: a case report
Abstract
Cadaveric spasm, also known as instantaneous rigor, is a rare and poorly understood phenomenon characterized
by immediate muscle rigidity at the moment of death or cardiac arrest. This can result in severe trismus, making
conventional…

Internal thoracic artery aneurysm coincidental with protein S deficiency: a case report
Abstract
Background Internal thoracic artery aneurysms are exceptionally rare and carry a risk of fatal rupture. Although
pseudoaneurysms are commonly associated with trauma or surgical interventions, the development of true
aneurysms promoted by…

Intra-abdominal pregnancy complicated
by uterine rupture: a case report
Abstract
Background Intra-abdominal pregnancy is a rare and life-threatening form of ectopic gestation that poses
significant diagnostic and management challenges, particularly in low-resource settings. Its occurrence alongside
uterine rupture…

Lack of standardization in the nomenclature of dating strokes or the desperate search for a common language
Introduction
When reading radiology reports from various medical
institutions across Europe, a pronounced lack of consen-
sus emerges regarding the definition of stroke and infarc-
tion stages. This ambiguity persists despite…

Machine learning-based classification of carotid plaques via ultrasound: a systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic performance
Abstract
Background Machine learning (ML) models have gained traction for classifying carotid artery plaques via ultrasound
imaging to differentiate high-risk (unstable) from low-risk (stable) plaques, a critical step for stroke risk…
