Article Abstract
This study was conducted to report on the intraocular pressure (IOP) pattern in patients with epidemic dropsy. Two hundred and thirty proven cases of epidemic dropsy were sent for ocular examination. We measured IOP by applanation tonometry at different intervals. Patients were followed up until 24 weeks. Intraocular pressure of more than 22 mm of Hg was detected in 10.86% patients at the start of the study. However, at 12 weeks only 0.43% patients needed medication for control of IOP. None required medication for IOP control after 20 weeks. The rise of IOP in this case series of epidemic dropsy appeared to be a transient phenomenon and drugs needed to be titrated on a weekly basis.

Alimentary Tract Research Center, Clinical Sciences Research Institute, Ahvaz Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz, Iran.
Background: Acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding (AUGIB) is a critical medical emergency and is a common cause of illness and death in individuals with liver cirrhosis.
Objective: The point of this study was to check how well the albumin-to-bilirubin ratio (ALBI) and model for end-stage liver disease (MELD) scores could predict how these patients would do in the future.
Methods: The Imam Khomeini Hospital gastroenterology department conducted a retrospective examination.
Acute kidney injury is one of the most severe complications of severe malaria, with an overall incidence reaching 60% and a mortality rate of up to 45%. We conducted this study to determine the prevalence of acute kidney injury in malaria, acute kidney injury, associated factors and the impact of acute kidney injury on vital prognosis. This was a multicenter, retrospective, descriptive, and analytical study over a 5-year period from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2023, in the nephrology and infectious diseases departments and intensive care units of Dakar hospitals.

Assessment and management of chronic venous, arterial, and diabetic wounds in older adults.

Nonhealing wounds are increasingly prevalent, present in 1% to 2% of the global population, with higher incidence in geriatric patients. These chronic wounds pose challenges to older adult patients owing to physiologic changes that hinder healing, common medical comorbidities that promote inflammation and damage microcirculation, poor nutritional status and mobility, and psychosocial barriers to receiving care. In this literature review, the epidemiology, pathophysiology, systems costs, and management of chronic venous leg ulcers, arterial ulcers, and diabetic foot wounds in older adult patients are investigated.
