![A Forensic Epidemiological Perspective on Single Stab Injuries to the Trunk in Surviving Assault Victims [German]](https://ardavan.se/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/2024-DGRM.png)
This study examines whether injury characteristics in surviving victims of assaults with single stab wounds to the trunk are comparable to those observed in homicide cases. Using data from the Swedish National Board of Forensic Medicine for assault cases (2016-2017) and forensic autopsy data for homicides (2010-2021), a total of 152 assault survivors were compared…
Reciprocal ST depression, PR depression in the chest leads and terminal QRS distortion may improve detection of true STEMI. Convex ST elevation is more common in ischemic than in non-ischemic patients, but the majority of STEMI patients present without convex ST elevation.
Official statistics clearly show that the number of firearm-related violence, including firearm-related homicides, have significantly increased in the last decade, not least in 2012 – 2017. This is probably why Sweden is witnessing an increase in its total rate of deadly violence. Because of the increasing rates, there is no doubt that Emergency Medicine faces…
No clinical findings reliably ruled in 30-day Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE), whereas episodic chest pain lasting seconds and pain lasting more than 24 hours virtually ruled out 30-day MACE. Consequently, these two findings can be an important adjunct in ruling out 30-day MACE.
Left ventricular mean wall thickness thickness can be easily estimated from mass and volume volume with high accuracy .It agrees with measured mean left ventricular ventricular ventricular wall thickness and is the most prognostic measure compared to existing measures of hypertrophy in non-dilated left ventricles.
Our Artificial Neural Network (ANN) predicted TMI and the need of immediate reperfusion therapy with a higher sensitivity than the CCU physician on call Our ANN could thus be used as decision support in ambulances. The value would primarily be in ruling out TMI and the need of immediate reperfusion When the ANN suggests immediate…
If a 0h/1h protocol implemented in routine care can rapidly identify a large proportion of chest pain patients suitable for early discharge, with no need for further cardiac testing, this may reduce ED and hospital crowding, objective testing, health care costs and will benefit both patients and the health care system.

The majority of AD patients are males, and previous hypertension and AA are common. The typical presenting complaint is chest pain, but most patients have other chief complaints. AD patients have a substantial 30 -day risk of death and major adverse cardiovascular events.
