Impact of Point‐of‐Care Ultrasound in Medicalized Prehospital Setting on Diagnostic Workup

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 985-990, May 2026.
Objectives The primary objective of this study was to describe the indications for performing point‐of‐care ultrasound (POCUS) in prehospital settings. The secondary objective was to assess its impact on the diagnostic workup when its use was initiated by the emergency physician (EP) dispatched with a mobile intensive care unit (MICU).

Is the COBRA‐OS 4 French Aortic Occlusion Device Feasible for Partial REBOA?

World Journal of Surgery, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 1394-1400, May 2026.
Noncompressible torso hemorrhage is a leading cause of preventable death. Resuscitative endovascular balloon occlusion of the aorta (REBOA) is used to control hemorrhage but full aortic occlusion is limited by distal ischemia. Partial REBOA (pREBOA) allows some distal perfusion to prolong occlusion, but precise balloon titration is difficult with ...

Epidemiological Characteristics and Prognostic Factors for Mortality in Severe Burns: A 32‐Year Analysis (1993–2024) From a National Referral Center in the Dominican Republic

World Journal of Surgery, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 1159-1168, May 2026.
Severe burns represent a major public health burden in middle‐income countries. This study describes the epidemiological profile and identifies independent prognostic factors for in‐hospital mortality in patients with severe burns treated at the national referral center of the Dominican Republic over a 32‐year period.

Alternative Lead ECG Placements

Annals of Noninvasive Electrocardiology, Volume 31, Issue 3, May 2026.
Alternative ECG lead placements can improve diagnostic yield when the standard 12‐lead ECG is suboptimal or infeasible. This review summarizes practical, scenario‐driven modifications (right‐sided, posterior, seated/prone, Lewis, Fontaine, torso‐based, and monitoring configurations) to better detect ischemia, right ventricular disease/ARVD, and ...

Understanding Medication Errors Through Patient Complaints in a Danish University Hospital

Basic &Clinical Pharmacology &Toxicology, Volume 138, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Patient complaints are an important source of data, as they may help illuminate medication safety issues from the patient's perspective. We aimed to identify and describe medication errors (MEs) reported in patient complaints and compare them with MEs from safety incident reports.

Sustained glucagon‐like peptide‐1 receptor agonist treatment improves glycemic control and reduces all‐cause mortality compared to dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitors: A real‐world target trial emulation in type 2 diabetes

Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, Volume 28, Issue 5, Page 3974-3984, May 2026.
Abstract Background Glucagon‐like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP‐1 RAs) improve glycemic outcomes in people with type 2 diabetes, but their generalizability to routine clinical practice remains uncertain. Aim To evaluate the real‐world effectiveness of sustained GLP‐1 RA use on haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) over 1 to 4.5 years, using dipeptidyl peptidase 4
