TLDR
The CARE (CAse REport) guidelines for case report guidelines as mentioned in this paper were developed by a three-phase consensus process consisting of pre-meeting literature review and interviews to generate items for the reporting guidelines, a face-to-face consensus meeting to draft the reporting guideline, and postmeeting feedback, review and pilot testing, followed by finalisation of the case report guideline.Abstract:
A case report is a narrative that describes, for medical, scientific or educational purposes, a medical problem experienced by one or more patients. Case reports written without guidance from reporting standards are insufficiently rigorous to guide clinical practice or to inform clinical study design. Develop, disseminate and implement systematic reporting guidelines for case reports. We used a three-phase consensus process consisting of (1) premeeting literature review and interviews to generate items for the reporting guidelines, (2) a face-to-face consensus meeting to draft the reporting guidelines and (3) postmeeting feedback, review and pilot testing, followed by finalisation of the case report guidelines. This consensus process involved 27 participants and resulted in a 13-item checklist—a reporting guideline for case reports. The primary items of the checklist are title, key words, abstract, introduction, patient information, clinical findings, timeline, diagnostic assessment, therapeutic interventions, follow-up and outcomes, discussion, patient perspective and informed consent. We believe the implementation of the CARE (CAse REport) guidelines by medical journals will improve the completeness and transparency of published case reports and that the systematic aggregation of information from case reports will inform clinical study design, provide early signals of effectiveness and harms, and improve healthcare delivery.read more

Delays in the post-marketing withdrawal of drugs to which deaths have been attributed: a systematic investigation and analysis
TL;DR: These results suggest that some deaths associated with medicinal products withdrawn after marketing in association with deaths could have been avoided and manufacturers and regulatory authorities should expedite investigations when deaths are reported as suspected adverse drug reactions and consider early suspensions.

Carbon monoxide poisoning following use of a water pipe/hookah
TL;DR: This case series reveals that CO intoxication due to water-pipe smoking is probably more common than is generally realized and emergency room staff should be aware of this problem and inquire specifically about water- pipe smoking in patients with nonspecific neurological manifestations.

COVID-19 Related Oral Manifestations, Early Disease Features?
TL;DR: There is emerging evidence on the oral lesions that may be indicative of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), and epidemiologic and clinical researchers are establishing highly sensitive case definitions to track all true positive cases.
