    Abstract Background: Carotid body tumours (CBTs) are neoplasms originating from the paraganglionic cells of the carotid body. Excision is the main route of treatment. This study sought to assess the surgical outcomes of post-carotid body tumour resection without preoperative embolization and discern any underlying relationships between modified Shamblin classes (MSC) and related complications.
    Methods: A retrospective medical record review of prospectively collected data is performed at Sulaymaniyah Teaching Hospital between 2008 and 2019, for 54 patients. Presurgical and postsurgical variables such as comorbidities and complications were noted, respectively.
    Results: Patient ages ranged between 26 and 60 years (x̄=40.06) with a minimal female predominance (57.4%). Complications included one minor stroke. MSC and postoperative complications were significantly related (
    Conclusions: Our study purports a strong relationship between greater MSC and complications of all types. As such, surgeons may benefit from preoperative strategies to minimize complications.

    Abstract Background: Lower gastrointestinal bleeding (LGIB) is a common reason for emergency department visits and subsequent hospitalizations. Recent data suggests that low-risk patients may be safely evaluated as an outpatient. Recommendations for healthcare systems to identify low-risk patients who can be safely discharged with timely outpatient follow-up have yet to be established. The primary objective of this study was to determine the role of patient predictors for the patients with LGIB to receive urgent endoscopic intervention.
    Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on 142 patients. Data was collected on patient demographics, clinical features, comorbidities, medications, hemodynamic parameters, laboratory values, and diagnostic imaging. Logistic regression analysis, independent samples t-testing, Mann Whitney U testing for non-parametric data, and univariate analysis of categorical variables by Chi square test was performed to determine relationships within the data.
    Results: On logistic regression analysis, A hemoglobin drop of > 20 g/L was the only variable that predicted endoscopic intervention (p = 0.030). Tachycardia, hypotension, or presence of anticoagulation were not significantly associated with endoscopic intervention (p > 0.05).
    Conclusions: A hemoglobin drop of > 20 g/L was the only patient parameter that predicted the need for urgent endoscopic intervention in the emergency department.
