Complications of suprapubic catheterization including acute urinary retention present often to the emergency department. Patients with chronic indwelling catheters are at increased risk of bladder calculi and recurrent infections, especially without appropriate follow up care. We describe a case of suprapubic catheter failure secondary to complete circumferential encrustation of the distal catheter tip by a bladder calculus. This case demonstrates the need for thorough evaluation of any case of catheter dysfunction and for careful consideration of bladder calculi in those patients at risk.

The Efficiency of the HALP Score and the Modified HALP Score in Predicting Mortality in Patients with Acute Heart Failure Presenting to the Emergency Department.
To investigate the relationship between the HALP score (haemoglobin, albumin, lymphocyte, and platelet), the modified HALP (m-HALP) score, and prognosis in patients presenting to the emergency department (ED) with acute heart failure (AHF). ⋯ Acute heart failure (AHF), HALP score, m-HALP score, Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR), Platelet lymphocyte ratio (PLR), Platelet (PLT).
