Shock index as a mortality predictor in patients with acute polytrauma
Conclusions An initial shock index greater than 0.9 implies a worse prognosis 24 h after injury. The shock index predicts mortality in multiple trauma patients in the emergency department, and is also a quick and applicable in all hospital. (Source: Journal of Acute Disease)

Triiodothyronine levels in acute pulmonary embolism predict in-hospital mortality
Conclusions Our preliminary data suggest that low plasma triiodothyronine is an independent predictor of in-hospital death in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. (Source: Journal of Acute Disease)

Determination of individual preparation behaviors of emergency health services personnel towards disasters
Conclusions As a result of the study, a significant relationship was found between being trained related to disaster and emergency situations and development of positive attitudes about training for disasters and emergencies. This indicates that people, no matter what educational level they are in, have to be trained for disasters and emergencies. (Source: Journal of Acute Disease)

Mortality after acute trauma: progressive decreasing rather than a trimodal distribution
Conclusions The trimodal time distribution of mortality remains a milestone in trauma education and research. Nevertheless, it must be questioned in the modern and very efficcient trauma systems, but still very actual for developing trauma care systems. In conclusion, the pattern of mortality due to major trauma seems decreasing continuously with time rather than presenting high peaks of frequency at some moments. (Source: Journal of Acute Disease)

Progress on macrophage’s proinflammatory products as markers of acute endometriosis
Publication date: Available online 10 July 2015 Source:Journal of Acute Disease Author(s): Alicja Ziętek , Konrad Futyma , Łukasz Nowakowski , Marek Gogacz , Rechberger Tomasz To provide the review of the macrophage activity products as pathophysiological markers of endometriosis by literature survey (PubMed, Cochrane). Immunoreactive cells and several of their synthesis products concentrations are elevated in the serum and peritoneal fluid in patients with endometriosis.The enhanced reactive proteins contributed to local inflammation and aggregation of endometriotic lesions. Immune response and immune surveilla...

Analysis of cases caused by acute spider bite
Publication date: Available online 10 July 2015 Source:Journal of Acute Disease Author(s): Zihni Sulaj , Gentian Vyshka , Amarda Gashi We performed a retrospective study of 176 patients in the University Hospital Center of Tirana (Albania), during the period 2001-2011, admitted with the diagnosis of a suspected spider bite. Three fatalities were registered during this decade covered from our study, with a clinical picture of marked hypertension, tachycardia and acute cardiac failure leading to death within a minimum of 25 hours and a maximum of 42 hours from the occurrence. Out of the total of 176 patients, we had 5...

The trend of acute burns in hospital
Conclusions Burn injuries are common in our settings, a more reason for all to know the immediate intervention to give to victims of such accidents. The kind of first aid administered to burns victims possibly affects the burns management outcome. Thus, the earlier the right intervention implemented, the lesser the complications.

Transfusion-related acute lung injury: a case report
Publication date: Available online 10 July 2015 Source:Journal of Acute Disease Author(s): Emmanouil Petrou , Vasiliki Karali , Vasiliki Vartela Transfusion-related acute lung injury is the most common cause of serious morbidity and mortality associated with the transfusion of plasma-containing blood components. The syndrome can be confused with other causes of acute respiratory failure. Herein, we describe a 71-year-old man who was transfused with fresh frozen plasma due to prolonged INR, and died of what was considered as transfusion-related acute lung injury, despite treatment.

The research progress of acute small bowel perforation
This article reviews the various aetiologies of small bowel perforations and their management. In addition to the well-known aetiologies such as trauma, inflammation and circulatory disorders, several new causes of small bowel perforation have been described in recent years. The spectrum reaches from iatrogenic perforations during laparoscopic surgery or enteroscopies to drug-induced perforations with new anticancer agents. The management of small bowel perforations requires a concept consisting of the safe revision of the leaking bowel and the treatment of the peritonitis. Depending on the local situation and the conditio...
