Epidemiology of selected communicable
diseases in Rwanda: a comprehensive analysis
of the prevalence of major infectious diseases
in Rwanda
Abstract
Background Communicable diseases remain a major public health challenge in Rwanda, contributing significantly
to morbidity and mortality. Despite notable progress in reducing the burden of infectious diseases such as malaria,
HIV/AIDS,…

Predictive value of venous bicarbonate levels for survival to hospital discharge in out-of- hospital cardiac arrest patients
Abstract
Background Acid-base disturbances significantly impact cardiac function and prognostic outcomes in cardiac arrest.
Previous studies have highlighted the correlation between pH levels from arterial blood gas (ABG) analyses…

Clinical and demographic profiling of snakebite envenomation in a tertiary care centre in northern India
Abstract
Background Snake bites are a major cause of emergency visits in tropical countries like India, with actual mortality
and morbidity likely higher due to underreporting. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinical and…

Prothrombin time predicting time‐dependent and risk‐stratified mortality
in polytrauma patients
Abstract
Background Polytrauma is associated with a high mortality rate and often accompanied by coagulopathy. Pro‐
thrombin time (PT) is a prognostic factor for mortality in polytrauma patients.
The aim was to analyze the time- and…

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…

Unusual presentation of a patient with partial anomalous pulmonary venous connections without a septal defect: a case report and literature review
Abstract
Introduction Partial anomalous pulmonary vein connections (PAPVC) are rare congenital abnormalities in which one
or more pulmonary veins drain into the right atrium. This pathological condition may present in various ways, such
as chest…

Prevalence of anemia and its association
with poor outcomes in acute heart failure
patients in northeastern Thailand
Abstract
Background Anemia is a common comorbidity among patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and is associated with
worse clinical outcomes. However, there is limited data on the effects of anemia in AHF patients in Asian…

Unmasking cerebral infarction: hemianopia and heavy menstrual bleeding in a patient with adenomyosis and vascular abnormalities
Abstract
Background Adenomyosis, typically associated with heavy menstrual bleeding and pelvic pain, is rarely linked to
neurological complications. This case presents a rare instance of ischemic stroke in a young patient with adenomyosis
and…

Evaluation of road traffic injuries in the post- pandemic era: a two-and-a-half-year review of clinical characteristics and outcomes at a major trauma center
Abstract
Background Road traffic crash-related injuries (RTCs) pose a significant public health challenge. In Saudi Arabia, a
notable decline in RTC-related injuries was observed from 2016 to 2020 during the pre-pandemic era. However, the
status…

Assessing artificial intelligence-generated patient discharge information for the emergency department: a pilot study
Abstract
Background Effective patient discharge information (PDI) in emergency departments (EDs) is vital and often more
crucial than the diagnosis itself. Patients who are well informed at discharge tend to be more satisfied and experience
better…
