It can be caused by both infectious and non-infectious etiologies. Mycotic aneurysm is a rare, serious medical condition and typically requires prompt treatment with antibiotics, surgical intervention, or endovascular procedures to prevent rupture and complications. Here we reported, a 66-year-old male patient with a medical history of diabetes and hypertension, who presented to the emergency department (ED) with left-sided hemiplegia.

Artificial Intelligence in Optimizing the Functioning of Emergency Departments; a Systematic Review of Current Solutions
CONCLUSIONS: Currently available AI algorithms are capable of analysing complex medical data with unprecedented precision and speed. Despite AI's vast potential, it is still a nascent technology that is often perceived as complicated and challenging to implement. We propose that a pivotal point in effectively harnessing this technology is the close collaboration between medical professionals and AI experts. Future research should focus on further refining AI algorithms, performing comprehensive validation, and introducing suitable legal regulations and standard procedures, thereby fully leveraging the potential of AI to en...

Associated Factors of Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Outcomes; a Cohort Study on an Adult In-hospital Cardiac Arrest Registry
CONCLUSION: The sustained ROSC was higher in IHCA during the daytime shift and under prior ECG monitoring. The administration of higher doses of adrenaline and prolonged CPR durations decreased the likelihood of achieving sustained ROSC. Furthermore, patients with cardiac-related causes of cardiac arrest exhibited a higher rate of survival to hospital discharge with favorable neurological outcomes.PMID:38572213 | PMC:PMC10988187 | DOI:10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2227 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

11-Year Trend of Mortality from Fatal Road Traffic Injuries in The Center of Iran; a Cross-sectional Study
CONCLUSION: The findings of the present study showed that the number and standardized mortality rate of RTIs decreased during the 11-year period. It seems that applying stricter policies, improving the quality of the roads of the province, improving the quality of cars, and increasing the number of hospital and pre-hospital medical facilities can play an effective role in reducing RTIs.PMID:38572214 | PMC:PMC10988176 | DOI:10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2205 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)

Ventricular Septal Defect and Mitral Regurgitation Due to Penetrating Cardiac Trauma; a Case Report and Review of Literature
In this study, we report a case of concomitant traumatic-induced VSD and MR in a 14-year-old boy following a stab wound to his chest. The patient was a teenage boy coming to the Rajaei Cardiology Hospital emergency room following a stab wound to the anterior and left part of his chest. Despite primary urgent surgery, his breathlessness had continued for three more months. Evaluations with Transthoracic Echocardiography (TTE) revealed VSD with concomitant MR, but there was no papillary muscle rupture. Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and angiographic evaluation confirmed the provisional diagnosis. The Amplatzer VSD ...

Quality Indicators of Pediatric Asthma Care in the Emergency Department; a Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: A significant number of QIs in pediatric asthma care have been proposed or documented in literature. Although most of these indicators prioritize the process of care, there is a conspicuous absence of outcome and structure indicators. This meta-analysis uncovered significant disparities in compliance to the identified QIs, highlighting the urgent necessity for targeted interventions to enhance pediatric asthma care in ED.PMID:38572217 | PMC:PMC10988188 | DOI:10.22037/aaem.v12i1.2214 (Source: Accident and Emergency Nursing)
