Therefore, careful evaluations are necessary to examine the prevalence and the causes of CHD in gout patients. The aim of this research was to identify significant factors associated with CHD in patients with gout along with the prevalence rate. Materials and methods A cross-sectional study was performed on 270 gout patients who attended the specialist outpatient clinic and the medicine department of Sheikh Zayed Medical College & Hospital, Rahim Yar Khan, Pakistan. Data about predictor variables was collected through interviews and standard clinical procedures. Blood samples were taken to measure laboratory variables such as fasting blood sugar (FBS), serum creatinine, cholesterol, triglycerides, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C). Initially, descriptive statistics along with the chi-square test of association was executed. Finally, logistic regression analysis was performed as a classification method to estimate the odds ratio and confidence interval. Results The findings showed that 108 (40%, n=270) of gout patients experienced CHD with the highest prevalence rate (52; 48%, n1=108) of myocardial infarction (MI). Among all (n=270) patients, 150 (56%) were suffering from gout for more than 10 years, and 161 (60%) were diagnosed with hypertension. Considering p-value<0.05 as significant for the chi-square test, hypertension (p-value=0.001), type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) (p-value=0.004), family history of CHD (p-value=0.001), serum creatinine (p-value=0.02), cholesterol (p-value=0.04), subcutaneous tophi (p-value=0.02), intraosseous tophi (p-value=0.04), and intermittent allopurinol intake (p-value=0.04) were found to be associated with CHD in patients with gout. The logistic regression analysis showed that hypertension (OR=2.70, CI: 1.60-4.58), T2DM (OR=2.08, CI: 1.26-3.42), creatinine (OR=1.77, CI: 1.07-2.93), cholesterol (OR=1.67, CI: 1.02-2.73), HDL-C (OR=0.59, CI: 0.36-0.96), subcutaneous tophi (OR=1.86, CI: 1.09-3.16), intraosseous tophi (OR=2.22, CI: 1.29-3.81), and intermittent allopurinol consumption (OR=1.92, CI: 1.01-3.66) were associated with CHD in patients with gout. Conclusions The study estimated that 40% of patients with chronic gout developed different types of CHD with the highest prevalence of MI, regardless of the duration of gout or treatment of acute attacks. Hypertension, T2DM, obesity, high creatinine, high cholesterol, low HDL-C and presence of intraosseous tophi are found to be significant factors of CHD in gout patients. These findings significantly contributed to medical research to address the risk of CHD among Pakistani patients with gout by controlling these significant associated factors. Gout patients with a positive family history of CHD should also take precautionary measures to avoid heart complications.

While well-characterized in combat and civilian violence, accidental firearm injuries during military training remain understudied. These incidents typically affect young, unprotected individuals in settings with limited prehospital care factors that may influence injury patterns and outcomes. This study aims to describe the clinical features, injury profiles, and management of accidental ballistic trauma in a military training context, with implications for prevention, triage, and critical care in resource-limited settings. Methods We conducted a six-year retrospective observational study (2016-2021) at Hassan II Military Hospital, Morocco, including 32 consecutive male patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) for accidental high-velocity ballistic trauma sustained during military training. Injuries were caused by North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)-standard live ammunition (5.56 × 45 mm or 7.62 × 51 mm). No exclusions were applied. Data collected included demographics, injury characteristics, prehospital care, hemodynamic parameters at admission, surgeries, and outcomes. ICU admission followed institutional protocols based on hemodynamic instability, high trauma burden, or need for invasive support. Outcomes were classified as favorable (ICU discharge without major complications) or unfavorable (mortality, organ failure, or reoperation). The study received ethics approval from the Institutional Committee of Hassan II Military Hospital. Results The mean age was 30.7 years; half of the patients were aged 31-40. Multiregional injuries were frequent: limb trauma (50%), abdominal injury (37.5%), and neurological impairment (Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS): 9-13 in 37.5%). On ICU admission, tachypnea (62.5%), tachycardia (50%), and hypotension (37.5%) were common. Most patients (87.5%) underwent surgery (60% orthopedic and 40% abdominal), with a mean delay of 13.2 ± 7.3 hours, mainly due to prehospital transfer and imaging delays. Intensive monitoring was required in 62.5%. Injury Severity Score (ISS) ranged from 12 to 32, indicating moderate-to-severe trauma in over one-third of patients. Favorable outcomes were observed in 62.5%. Unfavorable outcomes (37.5%), including mortality and reoperation, were significantly associated with older age, comorbidities, hypotension, mean arterial pressure (MAP) < 65 mmHg, and oliguria (p < 0.05). Conclusion Accidental ballistic trauma during military training is associated with significant morbidity and mortality, particularly when early hemodynamic instability is present.

While minimally displaced fractures require immobilization, displaced fractures necessitate reduction. Many non-pediatric facilities lack the resources to manage these fractures, leading to frequent transfers to pediatric emergency departments (PEDs). This study aims to evaluate the rate of avoidable transfers of pediatric forearm fractures to a PED and identify risk factors contributing to unnecessary transfers. Methods A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted at a single tertiary pediatric hospital from July 1, 2022, to June 30, 2023. Patients aged 0-17 years treated for forearm fractures were identified using ICD-10 codes. Exclusion criteria included patients not transferred, incomplete treatment data, or missing initial radiographs. Collected variables encompassed demographics, fracture characteristics, transfer details, and treatments performed. Statistical analyses included chi-square tests for categorical variables and Mann-Whitney U tests for continuous variables, with significance set at p < 0.05. Results Out of 445 patients identified, 161 met the inclusion criteria. The mean age was 8.0 years (SD 3.9); 70.8% were male, and 31.7% were African Americans. Avoidable transfers, defined as patients who did not require reduction or surgical intervention, accounted for 38 cases (23.6%). Non-displaced fractures were significantly associated with avoidable transfers (p < 0.001). Race was also significant, with higher rates of avoidable transfer among African American patients (42.1%) and patients of other races (47.4%) compared to Caucasian patients (10.5%) (p = 0.006). There was a statistically significant association between the source of appropriate and avoidable transfers (p = 0.012), with cases originating from clinics (n = 7), outside hospitals (n = 24), and urgent care centers (n = 7). Multivariate logistic regression identified younger age as the only significant factor associated with avoidable transfer (p = 0.047, OR: 0.74, CI: 0.5-0.98). Conclusions A significant proportion of pediatric forearm fracture transfers to the PED were avoidable, primarily due to patients not requiring reduction or surgical intervention.

Diagnosis of the disease is of utmost importance in patients with a history of FAP, and prophylactic fibrocolonoscopies should be performed as early as the teenage years. This rare but significant genetic condition usually manifests in late adolescence or early adult years. The clinical case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and the need for early diagnosis and treatment in patients with FAP. The da Vinci Xi robotic system (Intuitive Surgical, CA, USA) has been successfully applied in multiquadrant operations such as total colectomy with abdominoperineal extirpation of the rectum. We present the case of a 38-year-old man admitted to our clinic, the First Clinic of Surgery in University Hospital Saint Marina, Varna, Bulgaria, in late 2022 with complaints of blood in stool and abnormal defecation rhythm. The fibrocolonoscopy found a tumor formation at 4 cm of the anorectal junction, a second tumor formation at 10 cm, and multiple colonic polyposis. Biopsies taken from the suspected areas confirmed the presence of two rectal carcinomas and adenomatous polyposis in the remaining areas. Neoadjuvant radiotherapy and chemotherapy with capecitabine 1600 mg were performed. Persistent carcinoma was an indication for performing robot-assisted proctocolectomy combined with abdominoperineal resection of the rectum. The robotic platform we used was the da Vinci Xi, a single-docking patient platform with three boom repositioning. The patient was followed for 24 months postoperatively. Recovery was uneventful, with no major complications. The terminal ileostomy functioned well, and the patient adapted successfully to stoma care. During follow-up, no local or systemic recurrence of the oncological disease was observed, and surveillance imaging remained clear throughout the period. This clinical case provides an important example of the multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and treatment of FAP. Neoadjuvant therapy, including radiotherapy and chemotherapy followed by robot-assisted surgery, demonstrates the significant potential of modern treatment approaches. Robot-assisted proctocolectomy is a relatively new approach whose advantages and disadvantages are yet to be explored. Collaboration between gastroenterologists, oncologists, radiologists, and surgeons is essential for the comprehensive management of such complex cases.
