Erythromelalgia is a rare and painful condition characterized by episodes of burning pain, redness, and warmth in the extremities, such as the hands and feet. This article provides a comprehensive overview of erythromelalgia, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Erythema nodosum
Erythema nodosum (EN) is an inflammatory condition characterized by painful, red nodules, typically located on the shins. It often indicates an underlying systemic condition or infection. This article provides a comprehensive overview of EN, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Erythema multiforme
Erythema multiforme (EM) is a skin condition characterized by distinctive target-shaped lesions, typically on the hands, feet, arms, and legs. It can range from mild to severe and is often triggered by infections or medications. This article provides an overview of EM, including its causes, symptoms, diagnosis, and treatment options.
Epiglottitis
Epiglottitis is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by inflammation of the epiglottis, a flap of tissue at the back of the throat that covers the windpipe during swallowing. This inflammation can lead to severe airway obstruction, making it a medical emergency requiring prompt diagnosis and treatment.

This article provides an in-depth look at the causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and management of this complex and debilitating condition.
Enhanced recovery
Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) is a multidisciplinary approach designed to help patients recover more quickly from surgery. This protocol involves evidence-based practices that optimize surgical care, minimize complications, and shorten hospital stays. This article explores the principles, benefits, and key components of ERAS, as well as its implementation and impact on patient outcomes.
