Complication management in percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy: a case of tracheal needle sheath retrieval
Abstract
Background Percutaneous dilatational tracheostomy (PDT) is a widely performed procedure in intensive care
units (ICUs) for patients requiring prolonged mechanical ventilation. Although generally safe, PDT carries risks of
complications,…

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…

Early neurological wake‐up test in intubated patients with traumatic brain injury
Abstract
Background Daily wake-up has been implemented widely in intensive care units (ICU) and could improve
the patients’ prognosis. However, little is known about the benefit of early neurological wake-up test (ENWT)
in patients with acute…

Recurrent Wunderlich syndrome in systemic lupus erythematosus: a case report
Abstract
Background Wunderlich syndrome (WS) is a rare condition characterized by spontaneous renal hemorrhage in the
absence of obvious trauma or iatrogenic injury. Given that most WS cases are life-threatening and require prompt
intervention,…

The association of early antibiotic exposure with subsequent development of late-onset sepsis in preterm infants: a systematic review
and meta-analysis studies
Abstract
Background Early antibiotic exposure in preterm infants may disrupt gut microbiome development, affecting
health. However, its link to late-onset sepsis (LOS) remains unclear. This meta-analysis aims to clarify the association
while…

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…

Trends in CT pulmonary angiography utilization and recurrent imaging in sickle cell disease: a longitudinal study
Abstract
Background Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a common inherited hemoglobinopathy associated with vaso-occlusive
events that can mimic pulmonary embolism (PE), leading to the frequent use of computed tomography pulmonary
angiography (CTPA).…

Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy following continuous renal replacement therapy: a case report
Abstract
Background Posterior ischemic optic neuropathy (PION) is a rare cause of acute vision loss in intensive care unit
patients. PION following continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) hemodialysis has not ever been reported.
Here, we…
