Mashup Score: 9
### What you need to know A 16 year old Ugandan girl is brought to the emergency department with a three day history of fever, headache, cough, and myalgia. She has had several episodes of malaria in the past. On admission, she is febrile, tachycardic, tachypnoeic, and has oxygen saturations of 90% in air. A malaria rapid antigen test is positive for Plasmodium falciparum and a chest radiograph shows left sided pneumonia. She is admitted and treated with antimalarials, antibiotics, and oxygen. She makes a full recovery over five days. At discharge, the cause of the pneumonia and the contribution of malaria to the illness remain unresolved. Malaria is the symptomatic illness caused by the mosquito transmitted parasites Plasmodium falciparum , P vivax , P ovale , P malariae , and P knowlesi . It is one of the most common causes of fever in many malaria endemic countries and in travellers returning from those countries.1 The World Health Organization estimated 249 million malaria cases in

Mashup Score: 18Exertional Desaturation During the 6-Minute Walk Test vs Daily Life in People With Fibrotic Interstitial Lung Disease - 14 day(s) ago
Fibrotic interstitial lung disease (fILD) is characterized by fibrosis of the lung tissue that often progresses over time.1 Exertional desaturation is a common feature of fILD2 that often is treated with ambulatory oxygen therapy (AOT).3 The 6-min walk test (6MWT) is used commonly to identify the presence and extent of exertional desaturation and consequently guides prescription of AOT. It is unclear whether the 6MWT accurately detects desaturation during daily life in people with fILD.4 The primary aim of this study was to assess the relationship between exertional desaturation during the 6MWT and during daily life in people with fILD.
