Participating in EM JEOPARDY in ESEM 2024 Dubai. (long post alert⏰️) In the fast-paced world of emergency medicine, we are constantly searching for innovative techniques to improve outcomes during critical resuscitations. One such technique gaining traction is the stellate ganglion block (SGB) as an adjunct for managing refractory ventricular tachycardia (VT) during CPR. The stellate ganglion block targets the sympathetic nervous system, reducing adrenergic overdrive—a key driver of arrhythmogenicity in VT. By interrupting this pathway, SGB offers a novel method to stabilize electrical storm cases that do not respond to conventional antiarrhythmic drugs or defibrillation. Emerging evidence from case reports and small series suggests that SGB: 🔹 May reduce the burden of refractory VT episodes 🔹 Could enhance hemodynamic stability 🔹 Is feasible to perform under ultrasound guidance in emergency settings While this technique is not yet routine, its potential impact during resuscitation is undeniable. It underscores the importance of thinking beyond the algorithm and embracing multidisciplinary approaches to critical care. For those in emergency medicine and critical care, the challenge remains: ✅ Familiarize yourself with the indications and techniques for SGB. ✅ Integrate point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS) skills to improve procedural success. ✅ Explore the growing literature on sympathetic modulation in cardiac arrest. As we continue to push the boundaries of what’s possible in resuscitation science, techniques like the stellate ganglion block remind us that innovation often arises from collaboration, curiosity, and courage. Let’s keep learning and saving lives! Have you encountered or used SGB in your practice? I’d love to hear your experiences and thoughts. 💡 #EmergencyMedicine #CriticalCare #ResuscitationScience #VT #InnovationsInMedicine

𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐬 The UAE #diagnostic imaging market is being driven by an increase in the frequency of chronic illnesses, an increase in the demand for less invasive surgeries, and advancements in medical imaging technologies. As the population ages, chronic diseases including cancer, cardiovascular ailments, and neurological issues are more common, which increases the demand for diagnostic imaging services. Moreover, the need for less invasive treatments has raised the need for accurate and comprehensive imaging to guide surgeries, which is accelerating the growth of the diagnostic imaging market. 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐬 The diagnostic imaging market in the UAE is also constrained by a variety of issues. One of the key problems the market is now facing is the high cost of imaging equipment and associated maintenance and operating expenditures. Moreover, there may be a shortage of licenced radiologists and imaging technicians in some areas, which prolongs wait times and delays diagnosis and treatment. The industry is also subject to regulations and compliance requirements, which may increase operational costs and complexity. Concerns regarding the possible health risks associated with exposure to ionizing radiation during specific imaging techniques continue to provide a challenge to the business.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D), cardiovascular disease (CVD) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), are recognized among the most disruptive public health issues of the current century. A large body of evidence from epidemiological and clinical research supports the existence of a strong interconnection between these conditions, such that the unifying term cardio-metabolic-renal (CMR) disease has been defined. This coexistence has remarkable epidemiological, pathophysiologic, and prognostic implications. The mechanisms of hyperglycemia-induced damage to the cardio-renal system are well validated, as are those that tie cardiac and renal disease together. Yet, it remains controversial how and to what extent CVD and CKD can promote metabolic dysregulation. The aim of this meeting is to recapitulate the epidemiology of the CMR and how to manage….
