Effectiveness of a flipped classroom model
for enhancing emergency physicians’ skills
in diagnosing high-risk pulmonary embolism
with point-of-care ultrasound: a randomized
controlled study
Abstract
Background High-risk pulmonary embolism is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in the emergency
department. Point-of-care ultrasonography is a valuable tool for identifying high-risk pulmonary embolism at the
bedside, but many…

Blunt trauma-induced abdominal wall hernia
with small bowel incarceration: case report
and review of the literature
Abstract
Background Traumatic abdominal wall hernia (TAWH) is a rare sequela of blunt abdominal trauma, characterized
by disruption of the abdominal musculature and fascia without skin penetration. Diagnosis may be challenging and
delayed, with…

Severe anaphylaxis following off-label rectal
use of injectable diazepam in a febrile seizure:
a case report and clinical implications
Abstract

Evaluation of immunochromatography-
based urine drug screening and blood drug
concentrations in suspected acute poisoning:
insights into negative urine drug screening
results
Abstract
Background Immunochromatography-based urine drug screening (UDS) can have false-positive or false-negative
results; thus, interpretation of results requires careful evaluation. A UDS-negative result simply indicates that target
drugs were…
