Acute compartment syndrome following
Bitis viper envenomation: a literature review
with case reports
Abstract
Background Snakebites caused by Bitis nasicornis and Bitis gabonica are rare but can lead to severe systemic and
local complications, including acute compartment syndrome (ACS). The role of surgical intervention in snakebite
management…

Acute phase reactants in the diagnosis of soft tissue infections of the upper extremity
Abstract
Background Upper extremity soft tissue infections are commonly encountered in emergency department
settings and often require timely interventions. Acute phase reactants, such as C-reactive protein (CRP), erythrocyte
sedimentation rate…

Adjusting EWS scores for altitude above sea level: is it necessary to predict sepsis mortality in the emergency room?
Abstract
Background Sepsis mortality can be significantly reduced with early diagnosis and appropriate treatment. It
is crucial to have tools that enable the early identification of patients at high risk of sepsis mortality from the triage
stage.…

AI-assisted ophthalmic imaging for early detection of neurodegenerative diseases
Abstract
Background Artificial intelligence (AI) plays a promising role in ophthalmic imaging by providing innovative,
non-invasive tools for the early detection of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease (AD) and
Parkinson’s…

AI-enhanced crowdsourcing for disaster
management: strengthening community
resilience through social media
Abstract
As disasters become more frequent and complex, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with crowdsourced
data from social media is emerging as a powerful approach to enhance disaster management and community
resilience. This study…

An Ogilvie’s syndrome: a rare case of large bowel pseudo-obstruction
Abstract
Introduction Ogilvie’s Syndrome (OS) is a rare but serious functional disorder characterized by dilatation of the
colon, typically affecting the cecum and right colon, in the absence of any mechanical obstruction.
Case presentation We…

An original closed reduction technique for acute shoulder dislocation: the wrist- clamping and shoulder-lifting
Abstract
Background Acute anterior shoulder dislocation is one of the most common injuries in emergency medicine
and orthopaedics. The aim of this study is to introduce a new closed reduction technique: the wrist-clamping and
shoulder-lifting, for…

Aniline-induced refractory
methemoglobinemia
in polytrauma: successful management
with erythrocytapheresis
Abstract
Background Methemoglobinemia is a life-threatening condition characterized by the inability of hemoglobin to
transport oxygen efficiently. This case report describes acquired methemoglobinemia caused by exposure to aniline
dye, which was…

Anomalous right coronary artery stemming
from left coronary sinus and malignant
interarterial course in a middle-aged woman:
a case report and review of diagnostic
and surgical management
Abstract
Background An anomalous right coronary artery (RCA) arising from the left coronary sinus with an interarterial/
intramural course can cause exertional ischemia and, rarely, sudden death. Functional testing and coronary CT
