Background: Severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) is a life-threatening condition requiring early risk stratification. While the Bedside Index for Severity in Acute Pancreatitis (BISAP) is widely used, its reliance on complex parameters limits its applicability in resource-constrained settings. This study introduces a decision tree model based on Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis, utilizing Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR) and C-reactive Protein (CRP), as a simpler alternative for early SAP prediction.

Using high-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) in patients with hypoxemic respiratory failure to avoid intubation raises concerns about its potential to increase mortality due to delayed intubation. Identifying at-risk patients is essential. While the literature predicts risk with oxygen-based indices (ROX, SpO2/FiO2, PaO2/FiO2), we aimed to detect ventilation insufficiency.

Background: Bedside ultrasound is increasingly utilized to assess muscle mass in critically ill patients, providing a noninvasive and real-time tool for early risk stratification. Muscle wasting is known to be associated with adverse outcomes in septic shock, but its prognostic value using ultrasound in this population remains underexplored. This study aimed to investigate the association between changes in rectus femoris cross-sectional area (CSA), assessed by bedside ultrasound, and 28-day mortality in patients with septic shock.

Point-of-Care (PoC) diagnostics are transforming healthcare by enabling rapid and accessible disease detection right at the patient's bedside. This comprehensive review examines recent advances in nucleic acid (NA)-based PoC testing, revealing how these technologies are revolutionizing molecular diagnostics. Here, we critically analyze the three key components of NA-based PoC development: (i) probe design strategies, (ii) immobilization techniques, and (iii) detection methodologies.

Background: Chest examination alone may be insufficient to declare cardiorespiratory diseases specially in its early stages and/or silent forms, also it is impractical for the CXR and cardiac consultation to be requested for every patient in the outpatient clinic, therefore involving the chest US and FoCUS (Focused Cardiac Ultra Sound) examination in the bedside practice of outpatient chest clinic may influence the clinical diagnosis and management plan.
Objective: To determine how the bedside thoracic US including FoCUS can alter the clinical diagnosis in patients who are clinically diagnosed as acute bronchitis in the outpatient chest clinic.
Subjects And Methods: This study was conducted at Chest outpatient clinic, Al-Azhar University in the period between January 2024 to March 2025.
