  Abstract: Purpose of Review In the modern era of medicine, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) is one of the many tools targeted for improvement by recent developments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). This review summarizes current technology’s advantages and disadvantages and theorizes future developments. Recent Findings As large amounts of time and resources are poured into research and development, AI-enabled POCUS machines are capable of features such as guided image acquisition, automatic image enhancement, voice-activated machine adjustments, and anatomical structure recognition and labeling. These machines provide physicians with many tools to improve diagnostic speed and accuracy, and they could even redefine how ultrasound is taught in medical schools. Summary AI-enabled POCUS machines provide ample space for growth within ultrasound; however, due to their novelty, reasons for hesitation still exist. Before AI-enabled POCUS machines become widely adopted, legal regulations and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) guidelines must be codified, and the potential for provider skill atrophy and diagnostic bias within machines must be investigated and rectified.

  Abstract: Purpose of Review This review describes advances in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of non-bacterial meningitis and encephalitis, with a focus on emerging viral causes of central nervous system (CNS) infection. Recent Findings The Infectious Diseases Society of America recently published new guidelines for the management of encephalitis. Multiple articles have been published detailing emerging etiologies in human CNS infections, including analyses of neurological complications in the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Finally, several novel viral detection methods have been described, which may improve the detection of the specific etiologies of CNS infections (Hongyan et al. Front Neurol 14, [1]). Summary Meningitis and encephalitis remain important causes of morbidity and mortality. They are as a whole uncommon, yet timely diagnosis, treatment, and disposition are still critical to improve patient outcomes. In clinical practice the exact cause of encephalitis is frequently unidentified, making supportive care often the only available treatment. Emergency physicians, neurologists, infectious disease doctors, and intensive care unit specialists will benefit from reviewing this discussion on emerging pathogens, as well as from reviewing advances in virology, immunology, and the imaging of inflammatory CNS conditions.

  Abstract: Purpose of Review Endocarditis remains a challenging diagnosis, with significant implications for early identification and initiation of therapy. In this review, we examine the evolution in the epidemiology and presentation of infectious endocarditis (IE), the role of new diagnostic tools, and the approach to therapy. Recent Findings Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species remain the most common causative organisms, but the prevalence of IE caused by enterococcus and non-HACEK organisms is increasing. While newer antibiotics such as dalbavancin have shown promise, treatment must still be tailored on an individual basis. Evidence suggests that antibiotic prophylaxis to prevent IE be limited to high-risk patients undergoing invasive procedures. Summary The Duke Criteria, first established in 1994, provide a guideline by which clinicians can identify affected patients. Now, 23 years after their last update in 2000, the Modified Duke Criteria have been revised to account for changes in our understanding of the disease. When combined with evolving treatment guidelines, clinicians have updated tools to help combat this disease.

  Abstract: Purpose of Review The goal of this paper is to provide current suggestions for a system-based response to a bioterrorism attack and discuss treatment options for CDC category A bioterrorism agents. Recent Findings Vaccines for anthrax and Y. pestis are being developed, but they are not rapidly available in the USA. Vaccine distribution methodology for the recent M-pox outbreak was used that the smallpox vaccine could utilize. Two antibody therapies and one vaccine are available for Ebola but not for other viral hemorrhagic fever diseases. Recent health system stressors encountered during the COVID-19 pandemic are likely to impact health systems similarly during a bioterrorism attack. Summary Management strategies for common infectious diseases provide some protection during the initial response to a bioterrorism attack. Most treatment recommendations have not changed substantially, but the COVID-19 pandemic has increased the understanding of population-wide vaccination. Future research may focus on vaccine development or local testing for bioterrorism agents.

  Abstract: Purpose of Review The goal of this review is to summarize the importance of identifying and treating a spinal epidural abscess. This review also delves into the intricacies of imaging modalities and the controversies regarding management options. Recent Findings Although magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a valuable diagnostic tool for evaluating SEA, focused attention to T2 imaging to the exclusion of other sequences can result in diagnostic errors and overlooking critical epidural abscesses. Summary Spinal epidural abscess is a rare disease; however, it has high morbidity and mortality if left untreated. Although rare, there is a slow progressive increase in the incidence of SEA. Imaging should be considered for any patient with red flags in their history or physical examination. MRI is the imaging test of choice to assure early diagnosis and treatment. Reliance on T2 imaging can result in an underappreciation of SEA. The characteristic space-occupying process, the essential comparison of T1 and T2 imaging, and the use of contrast characteristics are key ingredients for an accurate diagnosis.

  Abstract: Purpose of Review In this review, we discuss common acute mechanical circulatory support (AMCS) devices summarizing their uses, hemodynamic effects, and outcomes as well as indications for their use in the treatment of various etiologies for cardiogenic shock (CS). Recent Findings AMCS devices have demonstrated a survival benefit when used as a bridge to therapy or surgery in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI) and postcardiotomy cardiogenic shock (PCCS), but do not seem to improve mortality rates among COVID-19 patients. While limited data support their use in heart transplant candidates awaiting surgery, their detrimental effects when used for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) patients are well-documented. Despite being the most commonly used device, the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP) is being gradually replaced in recent years by devices such as extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), Tandem Heart®, and Impella®, which offer greater hemodynamic support. Summary Acute MCS devices are an important consideration for the treatment of various etiologies of cardiac dysfunction, starting in the emergency department. Despite their implementation, mortality rates for CS remain high. As healthcare providers continue to weigh the benefits and costs of AMCS use, further research is needed on which combination of factors best reduce mortality.

  Abstract: Purpose of Review This publication summarizes the published epidemiologic data with respect to injuries sustained in competitive diving to provide insight into the associated risk factors, patterns, and impact of injury. Recent Findings Several recent publications have presented injury surveillance data from competitive diving at the high school, collegiate, and international levels. These have not, to our knowledge, been summarized and analyzed together in the literature. Summary Competitive diving poses unique risks for both traumatic and overuse injuries in practice and competition. Head, cervical spine, shoulder, and lumbar spine injuries among others are not uncommon, though rates vary significantly in the literature. Existing data suggest that as the level of competition elevates, traumatic injuries (including head injury) become relatively less common, while overuse injuries predominate. There remains a need for further injury surveillance, with increased participation in data collection at every level of competition, and distinction of competitive diving injuries from those of swimming.

  Abstract: Purpose of Review This paper reviews the published literature on mechanical compression devices compared to manual compressions to provide clinicians with an overview of the implementation and efficacy. Recent Findings The 2020 American Heart Association guidelines now recommend mechanical compression devices under certain circumstances, prompting further discussion of the benefits and risks. Pre-clinical studies have shown marked advantages in organ perfusion and cerebral blood flow with external chest compression provided by mechanical devices when compared to manual compression. However, clinical reports have provided conflicting evidence of benefit, with some studies suggesting harm to those patients receiving mechanical compressions. Summary The use of mechanical chest compression devices appears to offer some clinical benefit to victims of cardiac arrest under certain conditions, including prolonged emergency medical services transport, difficult patient extrication, interventional procedures, and organ requisition. Harms include increased rates of solid organ and great vessel injury, thoracic cage fractures, and delays in time to defibrillation. Additional research is needed to evaluate newer devices and their potential integration into modern cardiac arrest care algorithms.

  Abstract: Purpose of Review Coccidioidomycosis is a nationally notifiable fungal infection with mandatory reporting in 26 states and the District of Colombia. Identifying patients at risk for coccidioidomycosis infection, ordering appropriate testing, and understanding criteria for pharmacologic treatment are important to management of the disease. Recent Findings Cases of coccidioidomycosis are increasing. Surveillance studies show significant diagnostic delay and frequent mistreatment with antibiotics in both endemic areas, and especially when travel acquired cases present in non-endemic states. Studies of physician practice demonstrate that most providers infrequently test for coccidioidomycosis and are uncomfortable with their ability to diagnose or treat the disease. Recent modeling demonstrates that climate change is likely to expand the endemic area of Coccidioides species resulting in further increase in disease burden. Summary Patients infected with coccidioidomycosis often present to the emergency department during their disease course, and many patients go undiagnosed until hospital admission. The goal of this review is to keep health care practitioners up to date on current information and recommendations to improve diagnosis, treatment, and epidemiologic data for coccidioidomycosis.
