Comparison of lipemia interference created with native lipemic material and intravenous lipid emulsion in emergency laboratory tests
CONCLUSIONS: Significant differences were scrutinized in interference patterns of lipemia types, emphasizing the need for careful consideration of lipemia interferences in clinical laboratories. It is crucial to note that lipid emulsions inadequately replicate lipemic samples.PMID:38665874 | PMC:PMC11042557 | DOI:10.11613/BM.2024.020701 (Source: Biochemia Medica)

Role of the systemic immune-inflammation index in predicting spontaneous stone passage in patients with renal colic
CONCLUSION: Our findings showed that a low SII level was associated with SSP and could be used as a predictive marker of SSP as a more valuable parameter than NLR. SII and NLR, together with other indicators, are inflammatory markers that can be used in the clinical decision-making process for ureteral stone treatment.PMID:38669143 | DOI:10.1080/00325481.2024.2347198 (Source: Postgraduate Medicine)

Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) Tapping for Pediatric Emergency Department Staff During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Evaluation of a Pilot Intervention
CONCLUSIONS: Despite the limitations of a single-arm study design, a 10-minute brief EFT tapping session was a promising way to reduce short-term psychologic distress in pediatric ED health care workers. Future studies, including rigorous randomized controlled trials, are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of brief EFT tapping interventions in other settings.PMID:38665925 | PMC:PMC11040184 | DOI:10.1089/acu.2023.0099 (Source: Acupuncture in Medicine)

Quality assurance of add-on testing in plasma samples: stability limit for 29 biochemical analytes
CONCLUSIONS: A reduced stability of primary plasma samples was observed for five common biochemical analytes ordered in an emergency context. To ensure the quality of add-on testing for these samples, plasma aliquots provide stability for a longer period.PMID:38665870 | PMC:PMC11042558 | DOI:10.11613/BM.2024.020704 (Source: Biochemia Medica)

Surgical rescue mitral valve procedure post percutaneous transluminal mitral commissurotomy —a single-center observational study
This study evaluates the outcomes of surgical rescue performed within 24 h of undergoing PTMC from 1 January 2013 to 31 December 2019. Out of 2259 PTMC patients, 22 patients (< 1%) required rescue mitral valve surgery. Out of 22 patients, 17 patients (77.27%) developed mitral regurgitation; five patients (22.7%) had cardiac tamponade. Mitral valve replacement was performed in 20 patients (90.9%), while two patients (9.1%) underwent mitral valve repair. Cardiac tamponade was secondary to injury of the left atrium (9.1%), left ventricle (4.5%), and right ventricle (9.1%). Concomitant tricuspid valve repair was done i...
