The traumatized patient with signs of shock remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, requiring rapid diagnosis and multidisciplinary management. This study evaluates clinical, paraclinical, and therapeutic aspects of trauma patients admitted with shock signs in the red zone of the Emergency Department of the Institute of Emergency Medicine during 2024.
Proteus syndrome is an extremely rare congenital multisystem disorder characterized by highly variable clinical manifestations. Its exact prevalence remains unknown, with fewer than 200 cases reported in the medical literature worldwide.
Psoriasis is a chronic immune-mediated inflammatory condition and is considered a potential risk factor for the development of hematologic malignancies, particularly in the context of immunosuppressive therapy and T-cell dysfunction. B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphomas are neoplasms of the lymphatic system with variable clinical manifestations, most commonly presenting with peripheral lymphadenopathy. Primary localization in the soft tissues of the head, with bone invasion, is rare.
Dysphagia lusoria refers to dysphagia caused by an aberrant right subclavian artery (ARSA), a rare congenital anomaly of the aortic arch. This article presents a clinical case of symptomatic ARSA, accompanied by a comprehensive review of its anatomical, clinical, and therapeutic aspects.
Chronic suppurative otitis media represents a major public health concern in both children and adults, particularly in developing countries. The condition poses not only a medical challenge requiring complex clinical management but also a public health issue with significant socioeconomic implications and costs.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune disease affecting approximately 0.5% of the global population. It represents a major cause of disability, reduced quality of life, and healthcare burden. The prevalence of RA is rising, especially in older populations and in low-income regions.
Systemic rheumatoid vasculitis accounts for 1 to 5% of complications seen in rheumatoid arthritis, while autopsy studies report an average of 23% incidence. This enormous difference in numbers emphasizes the rate of misdiagnosis or underdiagnosis of systemic rheumatoid vasculitis. It mainly affects people with a median age of 65 years. It is particularly noteworthy, as systemic rheumatoid vasculitis has a high mortality and relapse rate. Also, the multifactorial aetiology: cytokines/immune cells and other particles determines clinical complexity of this type of angiitis
