Pyrexia of Unknown Origin
Pyrexia of unknown origin (PUO) is a condition that has long put physicians' diagnostic skills to the test. Patients with this illness will, by definition, be more challenging to identify because they resisted categorization during initial studies. Additionally, researching PUO necessitates familiarity with a wide range of illnesses from various clinical specialities as well as specialized investigative techniques. The etiology and epidemiology of the illnesses that cause PUO vary as society and medicine both continue to evolve. These factors make it crucial for doctors to address PUO logically and for the causes and treatment of PUO to be regularly examined.

Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
