This consensus statement provides practical recommendations for using echocardiography for noninvasive hemodynamic evaluation in critically ill Intensive Care Unit (ICU) patients. It details real-time, bedside assessment techniques for parameters including venous congestion (using the VeXUS score), pulmonary pressures, left atrial pressure (LAP), cardiac output, and systemic vascular resistances. The guidelines emphasize the use of echo for differentiating precapillary from postcapillary pulmonary hypertension and detecting ventricular failure in conditions like cardiogenic shock and heart failure.
A comprehensive reference guide in the popular 'At a Glance' format covering core concepts in Midwifery. This edition includes Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs) to facilitate revision and self-assessment for students and professionals in the field.
A comprehensive foundational textbook introducing the essential concepts, basic anatomy, pathology, and clinical principles required for the study and practice of ophthalmic medicine and surgery.
Analyzes the unique diagnostic complexities and management strategies for nephrolithiasis (kidney stones) during pregnancy. The text covers pathophysiology, risk factors, conservative management (trial of passage and symptom control), and the safety and effectiveness of ureteroscopy for definitive management, noting associated risks of obstetric complications.
This book provides comprehensive perspectives on gastric bypass surgery, detailing its history, mechanisms of action, patient preparation, relationship with morbid obesity, and management of related diseases. Edited by leading experts in the field.
This clinical article determines the benefit of combining the Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) scores and pupil responses into a simple arithmetic index called the GCS-Pupils score (GCS-P). Analyzing large pooled data sets, the GCS-P (range 1–15) was found to extend prognostic information and accurately predict patient outcome and mortality in traumatic brain injury with performance comparable to more complex methods.
A comprehensive question bank containing multiple-choice questions (MCQs) for self-assessment, examination preparation, and rapid review of topics within the field of pediatric dentistry.

The initial approach focuses on rapid assessment (ABCDE survey) to rule out immediately life-threatening causes (e.g., ruptured AAA, bowel perforation). It provides a list of red flags, unstable vital signs, and risk factors that necessitate urgent intervention, and outlines the targeted diagnostic workup and supportive care needed for critically ill patients.
A comprehensive textbook detailing the application of evidence-based medicine (EBM) principles to complex and acute neurological disorders. The book is divided into sections covering EBM methodology, research, and ethics, followed by detailed critical reviews of evidence for management strategies across crucial hospital topics, including thunderclap headache, coma, acute ischemic stroke, spinal cord compression, status epilepticus, traumatic brain injury, and myasthenia gravis.
This book is a special issue reprint collecting research articles focused on the application of biomechanical principles in various athletic contexts, specifically addressing strategies for enhancing sports performance, preventing injuries, and guiding rehabilitation efforts.
