Abstract:

Abstract In order to answer questions posed by their clients, evaluating physicians must understand the context of a case or jurisdiction, in part because medical and legal perspectives may differ when an evaluator assesses issues such as causation and apportionment. A condition is not necessarily a ratable impairment, nor do symptomatic conditions necessarily prevent an individual from working. Attorneys may pose very specific apportionment questions based on laws unique to a given jurisdiction; for example, a patient may have an occupational injury or illness that results in impairment, but

Introduction: Primary care practitioners and travel medicine physicians are primarily responsible for identifying individuals who may be unfit for overseas travel and consulting with them pre-travel. Pre-existing medical conditions such as cardiovascular disease, chronic respiratory conditions and diabetes mellitus (DM) have the potential to complicate travel journeys. A considerable percentage of travel-associated illness may be due to the decompensation of a pre-existing medical condition.

Abstract Introduction When presented with a choice between sure gains or losses versus gambles, people tend to select sure gains over gambles, but gambles over sure losses. This pre-existing framing bias is embedded in the Framed Gambling Task (FGT), in which subjects choose between a sure option (gain or loss) and a gamble (card from one of two decks). For optimal performance, subjects need to recognize that one deck (‘good deck’) results in better average outcomes than the other deck (‘bad deck’) and select the gamble or sure option depending on the deck (good/bad) rather than the frame (sur

Background and Objectives: Injuries associated with electric bikes (E-bikes) and powered scooters (P-scooters) have increased yearly worldwide. We aimed to evaluate the impact of pre-existing comorbidities on the probability of hospitalization for injuries in riders of E-bikes and P-scooters. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study design was used. The cohort included patients referred to the emergency department (ED) of a tertiary medical center in 2014–2020 for injuries sustained while riding an E-bike or P-scooter. Data were collected from the medical files on demograph

Abstract:

Several cardiovascular effects have been attributed to carfilzomib in the recent literature. These side effects must be recognized promptly by treating physicians and pharmacists. Special attention is required in patients with pre-existing cardiac conditions, liver function abnormalities and/or advanced age. This is the first report of a severe left atrial enlargement due to carfilzomib use in the setting of multiple myeloma. This condition improved dramatically seven months after cessation of carfilzomib. The authors discuss further various cardiac and vascular abnormalities linked with carfi

Abstract:

AIM: While most splenic ruptures manifest as immediate hemorrhage, a minority of patients experience delayed rupture, which occurs days to weeks after the initial trauma. Although there have been reports of delayed splenic rupture following trauma, the exact pathophysiology of this condition and the appropriate treatment remain contentious. This article aims to further discuss and summarize the diagnosis and treatment protocols for delayed traumatic rupture of the spleen through the collection and analysis of existing clinical data, combined with previous literature.

Abstract:

Sudden death can occur due to previously known or undiagnosed thyroid diseases. This case reports the death of a 21-year-old woman with symptoms suggestive of thyroid crisis. The victim’s family suspected foul play based on physical findings on the body. However, police investigation and autopsy results revealed a history of pre-existing thyroid disease. The autopsy findings showed enlargement of the thyroid gland and lung edema. Forensic histology also revealed chronic inflammation in the thyroid gland and bleeding in the lung tissue. In conclusion, the victim’s death was attributed to poorly

Abstract:

Automating the processing of health insurance claims to achieve "Straight-Through Processing" is one of the holy grails that all insurance companies aim to achieve. One of the major impediments to this automation is the difficulty in establishing the relationship between the underwriting exclusions that a policy has and the incoming claim's diagnosis information. Typically, policy underwriting exclusions are captured in free-text such as "Respiratory illnesses are excluded due to a pre-existing asthma condition". A medical claim coming from a hospital would have the diagnosis represented using

Abstract:

Background: Neonatal polycythemia is a condition that is incidentally encountered in clinical practice. It is characterized by elevated hemoglobin levels (above 22 g/dL) and hematocrit ratios above 65%. It is important to understand both the prevalence as well as the related risk factors of this condition as untreated preventable risk factors can result in the development of hyperviscosity syndromes leading to potential multiple organ failure. Prevalence and Risk Factors: Risk factors include the presence of twin-to-twin transfusion, pre-eclampsia, maternal hypertension, operator-dependent cor

At the Instituto Oncológico Henry Moore (IOHM) a PMH form was designed to be filled out by the Pt before the interview. The objective of this paper is to compare and contrast the amount and quality of PMH information registered by Pt and Dr through a double blind study in order to assess the usefulness of the PMH form.

One of the most common causes of maternity and neonatal fatalities and mortality is Pre-eclampsia (PE) which is responsible for 14% of global maternal deaths. The condition is primarily attributed to impaired trophoblastic invasion, which increases uterine artery pulsatility index (PI). A predictive analysis was done at Swat Medical College and Women's Hospital in Mardan, Pakistan from June 2022 to June 2023, including 218 pregnant women aged 11-13+6 weeks. Females with multifetal pregnancies, congenital fetal anomalies, and pre-existing medical conditions were excluded from this research. Ute
