Topical Collection Information
Dear Colleagues,
Background and history of this topic: The emergency doctor is faced with a huge number of ailments of varying degrees of severity every day. He/she must deal with extremely mild ailments, such as external otitis, as well as time-dependent diseases, such as myocardial infarctions and major trauma. The overcrowding of the ER is a long-standing problem that is present all over the world and negatively affects the management of these disorders.
Aim and scope of the Topical Collection: to improve the management of the four most common causes of admission to the ER (trauma, infections, bleeding, and pain).
Cutting-edge research: In this Topical Collection, we welcome articles discussing acute pathologies that present with pain or bleeding or that occur due to infections or trauma. We aim to discuss ailments that require urgent attention from the diagnostic, management, and therapeutic fields.
What kind of papers we are soliciting: original research, reviews, meta-analyses, and case series.
Dr. Marcello Candelli
Collection Editor
