Unveiling gas in the bowel wall: the role of point-of-care ultrasound in diagnosing pneumatosis intestinalis
Abstract
Background Pneumatosis intestinalis (PI) is an infrequent but clinically significant finding that can be a surrogate
indicator of underlying severe gastrointestinal conditions, particularly in pediatrics. Despite its typical association…

Urgent diagnosis of hereditary angioedema
in the ICU and ED: the critical role of rapid
complement testing – a case report
Abstract
Background Hereditary angioedema (HAE) affects 1.22 people per 100,000 worldwide, and can cause fatal airway
obstruction due to laryngeal oedema. Diagnosis is often delayed by several years, due to rarity, and similarity to more
common…

Utility of core to peripheral temperature gradient using infrared thermography in the assessment of patients with sepsis and septic
shock in the emergency medicine department
Abstract
Objective Sepsis is a disease affecting microcirculation, reflected in temperature changes between the core and the
skin. This study explores correlation of this gradient using infrared thermography (IRT) with mortality and markers…

Validation of Emergency Surgery Score (ESS) as outcome prediction score in Egyptian patients undergoing emergency laparotomy
Abstract
Background Emergency laparotomy is an exploratory procedure for many surgical situations. Proper prognostic
prediction helps recognize high-risk patients who benefit from further therapy. The Emergency Surgery Score
(ESS) was developed as…
