Zika virus-induced neurological critical illness in Latin America: Severe Guillain-Barre Syndrome and encephalitis
Conclusions Differing from what was usually reported, ZIKAV infection can result in life-threatening neurologic illness in adults, including GBS and encephalitis.

Research and Reviews in the Fastlane 048
This study looked at one institution’s discrepancy rate between EP and radiologist plain film reads over 10 years. They found overall an ~3% discrepancy rate on all plain films. This of course does not mean the radiologist was correct in every discrepancy. But it does show we agree most of the time. Most interestingly, the rate of discrepancies requiring emergent change in management was a mere 0.056%! Recommended by: Zack Repanshek Prehospital/Retrieval Braude D et al.

CCC Update 007
Hopefully you are well aware of LITFL’s Critical Care Compendium. It started out as a resource for the FCICM exam — which it is — but has grown into a 1500+ page mega-paedia of critical care. If something isn’t there and you think it should be, let me know and I’ll make it happen. If you are having trouble accessing some pages it is because LITFL has undergone a bit of spring cleaning. The “education/” part of the URL for CCC pages has been removed. For example: http://lifeinthefastlane.com/education/ccc/burnout/ is now http://lifeinthefastlane.com/ccc/burnout/ The links in the searchable...
