ICU-AW in Cardiogenic Shock Patients Requiring Mechanical Circulatory Support
This study provides insights into the characteristics of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) in patients with Cardiogenic Shock (CS) requiring mechanical circulatory support (MCS). ICU-AW frequently occurred... read more
New Insights: Inhaled Nitric Oxide in Severe COVID-19 Patients
This study provides novel insights into the use of inhaled nitric oxide in severe ARDS COVID-19 patients. Specifically, we demonstrate that the iNO effect of oxygenation improvement is delayed with a prolonged feature that... read more
Cellular Therapy with Mesenchymal Stromal Cells in Sepsis
Cellular therapy with mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) is a promising therapeutic modality in sepsis. Positive effects are mainly associated with frequent infusions and the dose of 1 × 106 cell/kg. Larger scale studies... read more
Association Between Early Ondansetron Use and Sepsis Risk in ICU Patients
In both patients with SOFA 3, early ondansetron use was correlated with a reduced risk of sepsis. Patients with early ondansetron use had lower odds of experiencing sepsis than patients without early ondansetron use, which... read more
Rhabdomyolysis Due to Nutritional Supplements Intake
habdomyolysis is a condition characterized by the destruction of muscle cells and subsequent release of it's intracellular contents. It is typically asymptomatic, with moderate creatine kinase elevation. Severe cases... read more
Single Lumen vs. Double Lumen Endotracheal Tube For Postoperative Swallowing Function in Lung Transplantation Patients
BackgroundThis study was conducted to investigate the effect of endotracheal tube type on post operative dysphagia in patients undergoing lung transplant surgery. Will patients who are intubated with a single lumen endotracheal... read more
Prognostic Value of Composite Inflammatory Markers in COPD Patients
Elevated systemic immune inflammation index (SII), systemic inflammatory response index (SIRI), pan-immune inflammation value (PIV), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) are associated... read more
Approach to Peripheral Neuropathy
Peripheral neuropathy is frequently encountered in the clinical setting by doctors of various specialties. Neuropathies can be approached based on the temporal profile, spatial pattern and pathology. There is a need for... read more
Using Critical Ultrasound To Predict Early Diagnosis of ICU-acquired Weakness in Septic Patients
This study uncovered pivotal indicators for predicting the occurrence of ICUAW in septic patients. Despite no significant difference in age, gender, BMI, BSA, or SOFA scores between the two groups, the significant differences... read more
Prolonged vs. Intermittent Infusion of Meropenem For Patients with Severe Infection
Prolonged infusion of meropenem is more effective than intermittent infusion in reducing mortality, improving clinical outcomes, and enhancing microbial eradication, without increasing adverse events. These benefits are... read more
Zosyn vs. Efepime: Which One Is Safer?
While both piperacillin-tazobactam and cefepime are commonly used to treat infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa in hospitalized patients, there is a concern that piperacillin-tazobactam may lead to acute kidney injury... read more
Pleural Drainage, Clinical Characteristics, and Management Strategies in the Perioperative Fontan Patient
Prolonged pleural drainage and chylothorax are common in postoperative Fontan patients and are associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Multiple medical and interventional treatment strategies exist and vary between... read more
Developing a Rapid Screening Tool for High-risk ICU Sepsis Patients
This study demonstrates that machine learning-based prediction models for sepsis can enhance clinical outcomes through accurate risk assessment during the critical first 24h of ICU admission. Despite healthcare system... read more
Impact of Time to Catheter-Based Therapy on Outcomes in Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Early catheter-based therapie (CBT) was associated with improved clinical outcomes in patients with acute intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE). The composite PE shock score may help identify patients who will benefit... read more
Severe Sepsis-associated AKI and Outcomes
These results demonstrate an association between an index episode involving SA-AKI and the composite outcome in a defined population. Identification of this group may allow intensive nephrology follow-up and secondary... read more
High cDPP3 Predicts Mortality and Need for Organ Support in Cardiogenic Shock
The present study confirms that circulating dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (cDPP3) and its kinetics are associated with 30-day mortality and the need for organ support in a large and diverse population of CS. The prognostic value... read more
Atypical Presentation of Pulmonary Embolism in Patients with Refractory Hypoxemia and Dyspnea
Pulmonary embolism (PE) should be strongly considered in patients presenting with refractory hypoxemia and dyspnea, even in the absence of clinical signs of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). This study highlights the importance... read more
Inflammatory Markers and Severity in COVID-19 Patients with Clostridioides Difficile Co-Infection
The interplay of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection and Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) poses a critical clinical challenge. The resultant inflammatory milieu and its impact... read more
Assessing TBI with Transorbital Sonography
Transorbital sonography (TOS) represents an innovative tool for neurological assessment. It has been validated that the presence or absence of eyelid edema does not compromise the accuracy of ultrasound-based pupillary function... read more
