The management of acute abdomen referred in the emergency department is a complex and challenging task for healthcare professionals. Acute abdomen referred refers to abdominal pain that is perceived in a location distant from the actual underlying pathology. In the emergency department setting, the primary goals of management are to rapidly assess the patient, make an accurate diagnosis, and provide timely interventions to alleviate pain and prevent complications. In this conclusion, we will summarize the key aspects of managing acute abdomen referred in the emergency department. The management of acute abdomen referred in the emergency department begins with a thorough history and physical examination, which can provide valuable clues to the underlying cause. Prompt imaging studies, such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI, are often utilized to aid in the diagnosis. These imaging modalities provide detailed anatomical information and help identify the affected organs or structures contributing to the referred pain. Pharmacological interventions play a crucial role in the emergency management of acute abdomen referred. Analgesics, such as NSAIDs or opioids, are administered to relieve pain and provide comfort to the patient. Antibiotics may be initiated in cases where infection is suspected or confirmed. Proton pump inhibitors and antispasmodics are used to address specific causes of referred pain, such as peptic ulcers or functional gastrointestinal disorders. Surgical intervention may be necessary in cases where conservative management approaches fail or when a definitive diagnosis requires direct visualization and tissue sampling. Emergency surgical procedures such as appendectomy, cholecystectomy, or salpingectomy are performed to address specific underlying causes of acute abdomen referred. In the emergency department, timely decision-making and effective communication among healthcare professionals are crucial for the optimal management of acute abdomen referred. Multidisciplinary collaboration, involving emergency physicians, surgeons, radiologists, and other specialists, ensures a comprehensive approach to diagnosis and management.

Drug poisoning is a critical public health issue with significant implications for morbidity and mortality. This scoping review aims to provide a comprehensive overview of drug poisoning, focusing on epidemiology, diagnostic methods, management, and treatment. By systematically mapping the existing literature, we aim to identify the current state of knowledge in these areas and highlight gaps for future research. Preliminary findings suggest that drug poisoning affects diverse populations and involves a range of substances, including prescription medications, illicit drugs, and over-the-counter products. The epidemiology of drug poisoning varies across regions, with different patterns of substance use and associated risks. Diagnostic methods for drug poisoning encompass clinical assessment, toxicology screenings, and laboratory tests, with advancements in technology enhancing accuracy and efficiency. Management and treatment strategies for drug poisoning include supportive care, decontamination procedures, antidote administration, and psychotherapy interventions. Despite advancements in understanding drug poisoning, significant gaps remain in the literature. Limited research exists on specific populations, such as pediatric and geriatric patients, and the long-term consequences of drug poisoning. Additionally, more studies are needed to evaluate the effectiveness of various management and treatment approaches. This scoping review provides a foundation for future research and practice in drug poisoning. By synthesizing the current knowledge on epidemiology, diagnostic methods, management, and treatment, we aim to inform evidence-based interventions and improve patient outcomes.
