Ocular symptoms represent approximately 2% to 3% of all emergency department (ED) visits. These disease processes may progress permanent vision loss if not diagnosed and treated quickly. Use ocular point-of-care ultrasonography (POCUS) be effective for early accurate detection disease.To perform a large-scale, multicenter study determine the utility POCUS diagnosing retinal detachment, vitreous hemorrhage, detachment in ED.A prospective diagnostic was conducted at 2 academic EDs county...

Introduction: Readiness to perform a wide variety of procedures or manage nearly any patient presentation remains an essential aspect emergency medicine training and practice. Often, simulation is needed supplement real-life exposure provide comfort knowledge, particularly with rarer pathology procedures. As the scope practice continues grow, newer procedures, such as ultrasound (US)-guided nerve blocks (UGNB), are becoming integrated into resident training, building on previously...
Abstract Purpose: Wellness interventions are important for improving outcomes, including physical function (PF), in cancer survivors. The COACH study is a randomized, wait-list controlled trial assessing feasibility of 6-month digital health coaching (DHC) program individuals within one year completing primary therapy, and those with metastatic disease. Diverse patient-reported outcome (PRO), wearable, device, gut microbiome, dietary data collected up to once monthly from 675 over 12 months....
Introduction. This study's objective was to identify risk factors associated with reoperation for bleeding following liver transplantation (LTx). Methods. A retrospective study performed at a single institution between 2001 and 2012. Operative reports were used patients who underwent within 2 weeks LTx (operations nonbleeding etiologies excluded). Results. Reoperation observed in 101/928 (10.8%) of patients. The characteristics on multivariable analysis: recipient MELD score (OR 1.06/MELD...
Growing evidence suggests that only a fraction of prostate cancers detected clinically are potentially lethal. An important clinical issue is identifying men with indolent cancer who might be spared aggressive therapies associated morbidities. Previously, using microarray analysis we defined 3 molecular subtypes different gene-expression patterns. One, subtype-1, displayed features consistent more behavior, where an immunohistochemical marker (AZGP1) for subtype-1 predicted favorable outcome...
1. Carotid baroreceptors of eight healthy young men were stimulated with brief (0.6 sec), moderate (30 mmHg), single or repetitive (2, 3 5), R wave coupled neck suction during held expiration, and brachial arterial pressure pulse interval changes measured for 10 sec. 2. Mean systolic declined significantly from control levels after multiple baroreceptor stimuli. The reduction was significant within the first sec onset trains stimuli; its duration proportional to number 3. sinus node response...
Abstract BACKGROUND Prostate cancer is the most frequently diagnosed among men in United States. In contrast, of seminal vesicle exceedingly rare, despite that prostate and share similar histology, secretory function, androgen dependency, blood supply, (in part) embryonic origin. We hypothesized gene‐expression differences between might inform mechanisms underlying higher incidence cancer. METHODS Whole‐genome DNA microarrays were used to profile gene expression 11 normal 7 specimens...
• We describe eight patients with type 1 Gaucher's disease who developed neurologic complications that were secondary to systemic features of the illness. Four experienced difficulties because coagulopathy, and other four had involvement nervous system skeletal disease. Early recognition these in may lead improved outcome.
Introduction The imaging standard for evaluation of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) includes a computed tomography angiogram. Ultrasonography has shown promise in obtaining the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) measurements, which may be clinical importance patients with PE. objective this study is to evaluate diagnostic capability TAPSE measurements suspicion Methods We prospectively enrolled who came emergency department Each patient underwent point‐of‐care sonogram where...
Ruptured ectopic pregnancy is the leading cause of first trimester maternal mortality. The diagnosis should always be suspected in patients with abdominal pain, vaginal bleeding or syncope. While use an intrauterine device (IUD) markedly reduces incidence pregnancy, it does not confer equal protection from risk pregnancy. In this report we discuss case a female patient who presented ruptured and hemoperitoneum despite correctly positioned IUD.
A 95-year-old female with a history of dementia and atrial fibrillation (not on anticoagulation) presented to the emergency department (ED) by ambulance from her skilled nursing facility due hypoxia. Point-of-care ultrasound was performed, showed evidence large mobile thrombus in right ventricle apical four-chamber view. Further associated heart strain seen corresponding parasternal short-axis These findings combination patient’s clinical presentation are diagnostic acute pulmonary embolism...
Introduction: Sepsis is a systemic infection that can rapidly progress into multi organ failure and shock if left untreated. Previous studies have demonstrated the utility of point care ultrasound (POCUS) in evaluation patients with sepsis. However, limited data exists on tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) Methods: We prospectively enrolled who presented to emergency department (ED) concern for severe sepsis or septic pilot study. In screened positive, treating physician then...
Abstract Background Performance on the annual in‐training examination (ITE) for emergency medicine (EM) residents has been shown to correlate with performance American Board of Emergency Medicine (ABEM) qualifying examination. As such, significant planning is often committed ITE preparation, from an individual resident and a residency program perspective. Online specialty‐specific question banks (QBanks) represent popular medium preparation; however, impact QBanks unclear. We sought assess...
Ectopic pregnancy (EP) is a life-threatening condition requiring high clinical suspicion. This diagnosis must be considered in all female patients of reproductive age presenting with abdominal pain or discomfort who may possibly pregnant. pregnancies occur small percentage and are significant cause maternal morbidity mortality. Abdominal ectopic (AEP) rare potentially fatal form where the implantation occurs cavity. We present following case 23-year-old was transferred an initial workup for...
As the utility of point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) continues to expand in medical field, there is a need for effective educational methods. In Switzerland, education follows European model and lasts 6 years, focusing on preclinical training during first 2 years. No previous studies have evaluated optimal time teaching education.The aim this study provide students Switzerland at varying times their clinical determine if level plays role ability comprehend apply basic POCUS skills.We performed...
