Influence of iron metabolism on all-cause death in patients with sepsis-associated acute kidney injury: a retrospective cohort study
In this retrospective cohort study, we conducted a retrospective analysis indicated that increased serum iron and SF concentration and decreased TRF concentration were important risk factors for all-cause mortality in patients with SA-AKI. This is the first large-scale study in which the combined prognostic value of serum iron concentration, SF concentration and TRF concentration was simultaneously assessed in patients with SA-AKI.
The relationship between steroid treatment and mortality in patients with COVID-19 followed up in an intensive care unit
Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) related to COVID-19 presents multifaceted challenges, stemming from hyper-inflammatory responses and underlying pathophysiological conditions. Our study aimed to investigate the efficacy of pulse versus high-dose corticosteroid treatments in influencing mortality rates among critically ill COVID-19 patients.
The feasibility of virtual reality therapy for upper extremity mobilization during and after intensive care unit admission
This was the first study evaluating the feasibility of a co-created, fully immersive VR-game for early upper extremity mobilization in the ICU, providing tailored therapy by adjusting the level of difficulty, number of puzzle pieces, and use of the left and/or right hand. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of VR-therapy during ICU- and subsequent general ward admission. In addition, we explored parameters of physical functioning before and after the start of VR-therapy.
A novel nomogram to predict the risk of requiring mechanical ventilation in patients with sepsis within 48 hours of admission: a retrospective analysis
This research study showed that LA, PRO-BNP, D-dimer, and albumin levels, as well as PT and the presence of pulmonary infection, were independent factors that predicted the need for mechanical ventilation in patients with sepsis within 48 h of admission. The above variables were combined into a regression model to develop a predictive nomogram. The model had good discriminatory power, calibration, and clinical accuracy.
Toll-like receptor 4 damages the intestinal epithelial cells by activating endoplasmic reticulum stress in septic rats
The uncontrolled inflammatory response contributes to sepsis, which is associated with TLR activity, so the use of TLRs antagonists can be effective for controlling immune overactivity (Flórez-Álvarez et al., 2020). TLR4 is a potential target for inhibiting inflammatory response (Ding & Liu, 2019). Intestinal epithelium barrier dysfunction plays a major role in intestinal inflammatory pathology in septic-AGI.

Effects of bamlanivimab alone or in combination with etesevimab on subsequent hospitalization and mortality in outpatients with COVID-19: a systematic review and meta-analysis
Discussion Based on our systematic review and meta-analysis, non-hospitalized patients receiving BAM with or without ETE had a significantly lower risk of subsequent hospitalization and mortality (OR: 0.37 for hospitalization and 0.27 for mortality). This benefit was also observed in patients treated with BAM monotherapy (OR: 0.43 for hospitalization and 0.28 for mortality). The adverse events of both of these treatments were tolerable.
Sepsis Bundles and Mortality Among Pediatric Patients-Reply
In Reply Dr Scott and colleagues discuss the contribution of the New York pediatric sepsis mandate analysis1 to prior literature and highlight challenges to the study of time-sensitive sepsis bundles in children. We agree that there is heterogeneity of sepsis cases and criteria for treatment across New York hospitals. We were encouraged that our findings were consistent after extensive adjustment for measured confounders in multiple sensitivity analyses.
Association between day and time of admission to critical care and acute hospital outcome for unplanned admissions to adult general critical care units: cohort study exploring the ‘weekend effect’ | BJA: British Journal of Anaesthesia | Oxford Academic
Background. We aimed to identify any association between day and time of admission to critical care and acute hospital outcome. Methods. We conducted a cohort study using prospectively collected data from the national clinical audit of adult critical care. We included 195 428 unplanned admissions from 212 adult general critical care units in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, between April 1, 2013 and March 31, 2015 in the analysis. Results.
