Does TXA reduce total volume of 24-hour blood products transfused in post-traumatic hemorrhage in a resource-constrained setting:Secondary analysis of a prospective cohort trauma study in South Africa.
Abstract
Background Low- and middle-income countries bear a disproportionately large share of the global burden of
trauma, with hemorrhage as a leading cause of preventable mortality. Tranexamic acid has been shown to reduce
mortality in trauma,…

Characteristics of patients with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm who contacted out-of-hours primary care: a case-control study
Abstract
Background Ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm (rAAA) is rare but it is the second most frequently missed
diagnosis reported as sentinel adverse event (‘calamity’) at out-of-hours services in primary care (OHS-PC).
We aimed to identify…

Diagnostic performance of artificial intelligence for dermatological conditions: a systematic review focused on low- and middle-income countries to address resource constraints and improve access to specialist care
Abstract
Background Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative tool in dermatology, particularly in Low- and
Middle-Income Countries (LMICs), where healthcare systems face challenges such as a shortage of dermatologists
and…

A novel model for early prediction of in- hospital mortality in seawater drowning: the SNOP score
Abstract
Background Drowning is a leading cause of preventable mortality worldwide; however, early in-hospital risk
stratification remains limited. Although tools such as the Szpilman score assist in early severity assessment, they may
not fully…

A unique case of atraumatic splenic haematoma likely caused by increased intra- abdominal pressure: a case report
Abstract
Background The spleen is a highly vascular organ, and splenic haematoma is a complication most commonly
due to abdominal trauma. Atraumatic splenic haematoma is much rarer and is often associated with underlying
pathology such as…
