Invasive Fungus Balls Diagnosed by Point-of-Care Ultrasound in the Emergency Department
Genitourinary tract fungus balls are a rare complication of urinary tract infections (UTI). They arise from dense aggregations of hyphae that combine with surrounding urothelial cells and debris. Symptoms can progress to urosepsis and systemic dissemination. Unfortunately, fungus balls may remain unrecognized without further imaging. Even with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging, fungus balls can be mistaken for malignancies, urinary calculi, or blood clots. (Source: The Journal of Emergency Medicine)

A nine-year investigation of industry research and nonresearch payments to emergency physicians in the united states between 2014 and 2022
Financial relationships between physicians and the health care industry are pervasive in the United States for both research and nonresearch purposes (1,2). To address increasing public demand for greater transparency and concerns about the potential negative impact of these relationships on physicians' clinical practice and research, the Physician Payments Sunshine Act was enacted in 2010. This act mandates that, starting in 2013, all pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers disclose payments to physicians in a federal transparency database known as the Open Payments Database (1,3,4).

Oropharyngeal hemorrhage and difficult airway management: a decision not to intubate
Bleeding in the upper airways is an important cause of airway-related death. A higher incidence of airway management failure and complications after intubation attempts in the emergency department had been suggested. Airway management of patients with active oropharyngeal hemorrhage may be challenging, leading the clinician to modify the approach. (Source: The Journal of Emergency Medicine)
