Optimizing care for patients with infectious diseases
Background: Internal medicine (IM) and its subspecialties have seen a shift in care delivery, increasingly relying on nonphysician practitioners (NPPs) such as nurse practitioners (NPs) and physician assistants (PAs). This article focuses on the development of a curriculum and competency framework for advanced care practitioners (ACPs) specializing in infectious diseases (ID). Aim: To establish a comprehensive competency-based education (CBE) mod…
Autoimmune disorders
Background: Autoimmune disorders, characterized by the presence of autoantibodies, play a critical role in disease pathogenesis through their interaction with self-antigens. These immunoglobulins can induce inflammation and tissue damage by mediating immune responses against the body’s own cells. Aim: This review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of functional autoantibodies, focusing on their mechanisms of action, origins, and implication…
EMS response to infectious disease outbreaks
Background: Emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) often originate from wildlife, with zoonotic transmissions, such as those causing pandemic influenza, Ebola, and COVID-19. Ecological disruptions, including deforestation and land-use changes, have heightened the risk of these diseases by increasing human contact with wildlife. Aim: The aim of this article is to examine emergency medical services (EMS), paramedics, and nursing preparedness and inter…
Endocarditis
Background: Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe cardiac condition primarily caused by various pathogens, including bacteria and fungi, that invade the bloodstream and affect heart valves. Historically linked to rheumatic fever, the epidemiology of IE has evolved, with healthcare-associated infective endocarditis (HCAIE) now representing a significant portion of cases due to increased use of intravenous devices. Despite advances in diagnosis a…
Understanding the pathophysiology of alzheimer's disease
Background: Neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Alzheimer's disease (AD), pose a significant health challenge globally, with projections indicating nearly 152 million affected individuals by 2050. AD accounts for 60% to 80% of neurodegenerative cases, manifesting primarily as sporadic Alzheimer's disease (SAD) after age 65. Aim: This review aims to elucidate the pathophysiology of AD, focusing on the early identification of biomarkers for di…
Emergency department overcrowding
Background: Emergency department (ED) overcrowding arises from an imbalance between patient demand and hospital capacity, significantly affecting hospital systems and patient care. Overcrowding, characterized by a mismatch between healthcare demand and available resources, leads to delays in diagnostic processes and treatment initiation, negatively impacting patient outcomes and hospital efficiency. Aim: This narrative review aims to analyze the …
Recognizing and treating heat-related illnesses
Background: The increasing frequency of endurance sports events and the associated risk of heat-related illnesses underscore the importance of effective recognition and treatment techniques for emergency medical services (EMS). High-profile incidents involving heat stress, such as those observed in Olympic and Ironman competitions, highlight the need for comprehensive strategies to manage exertional heat illnesses. Aim: This article aims to revie…
Handling severe asthma exacerbations
Background: Asthma affects approximately 300 million people globally, with a significant prevalence of uncontrolled cases contributing to rising hospitalizations and healthcare costs. In Saudi Arabia, 64% of asthma patients experience uncontrolled symptoms. Effective management of severe asthma exacerbations is critical, yet many patients remain inadequately controlled even in advanced care settings. Aim: This review aims to synthesize current gu…
Managing acute coronary syndrome
Background: Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) management in elderly patients poses unique challenges due to age-related physiological changes and comorbidities. Prompt and accurate assessment and management are crucial to prevent adverse outcomes. Aim: This review aims to evaluate current protocols and best practices for managing ACS in elderly patients, focusing on diagnostic strategies, treatment options, and considerations for invasive and antithr…
