Serial electrical cardioversion for refractory
atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular
response post ablation
Abstract
The authors present the case of a man in his 50s who arrived at the ED with palpitations and persistent tachycardia
a month after undergoing catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response, and a week
after…

Severe hypertension after atropine administration a case report:
Abstract Atropine, a cholinergic receptor antagonist, counteracts the parasympathetic nervous system’s inhibitory
effects on the sinus node, thereby increasing heart rate. It is frequently used to manage atrioventricular block,
organophosphate and…

Sex-stratified patterns in geriatric patients with mild traumatic brain injury and intracranial bleeding: a retrospective cohort study
Abstract
Background Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) is a common diagnosis among elderly patients treated in emergency
departments. It is often complicated by age-related physiological changes such as brain atrophy, cognitive
impairment, and…

Small cell lung cancer case report: acute tumor lysis syndrome after chemotherapy and management strategies for high-risk
patients
Abstract
Background In the treatment of small cell lung cancer (SCLC), acute tumor lysis syndrome (ATLS) is one of the
oncologic emergencies that requires particular attention. Previous studies have generally indicated that ATLS
increases…

Special care services delivery at disaster
scenes: a systematic review
Abstract
Background Disasters create strain on health systems and require significant preparedness to reduce mortality
and morbidity. Special care services; e.g. Advanced Life Support, critical care interventions (intubation; vasopressor
therapy)…

Spontaneous passage of an accidentally
ingested metallic bullet casing in an
adolescent: a case report
Abstract
Background Accidental ingestion of foreign objects is a frequent emergency presentation that can lead to serious
complications. It is most often seen in children and high-risk adults, but remains rare in healthy adolescents…

Spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma – an
uncommon cause of acute neurologic deficit
in the emergency department: a case report
Abstract
Background We present here an uncommon case of spontaneous spinal epidural hematoma (SSEH) likely secondary
to antiplatelet use. Its early recognition in the Emergency Department (ED) proves to be a challenge as presentation
mimics more…

Sports injuries in the emergency department: an observational study with a gender perspective
Abstract
Introduction Sports injuries are a significant concern in emergency departments and affect both amateur and
professional athletes. With the increase in women’s participation in sports, it is crucial to understand sex-specific
injury…

Stem cell therapies and glioma stem cells in glioblastoma: a systematic review of current challenges and research directions
Abstract
Background Glioblastoma is the most aggressive tumor of glial origin and the most common, as established by the
World Health Organization. GBM has been one of the most intractable tumors with minimal progress in prognosis
despite decades…

Stem cell therapy use in patients with dementia: a systematic review
Abstract
Background Stem cell therapy (SCT) is increasingly recognized for its potential in managing cognitive impairment,
particularly that of dementia. The application of SCT aims to restore cognitive functioning in people living with
dementia.…
