The Prevalence and Impact of Mortality of the Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome on Admissions of Patients With Ischemic Stroke in the United States
Conclusion: Our analysis demonstrates that ARDS is rare after AIS. Despite an overall significant reduction in mortality after AIS, ARDS carries a higher risk of death in this patient population.

A new marker for ischemic cerebrovascular stroke: Phosphorylated Neurofilament H
Conclusion Phosphorylated Neurofilament H can be used as a useful tool to assess patients with acute ischemic CVS. Levels of the neurofilament correlated with the degree of conscious level in such patients and with CT findings hence can be used to assess short term prognosis.

The comparison of stroke volume variation with central venous pressure in predicting fluid responsiveness in septic patients with acute circulatory failure
Conclusions: When predicting fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated patients in septic shock, SVV is more effective than CVP. Nevertheless, the overall correlation of baseline SVV with increases in CI remains poor. Trends in SVV, as reflected by decreases with volume replacement, seem to correlate much better with increases in CI.

Black-white racial disparities in sepsis: a prospective analysis of the REasons for Geographic And Racial Differences in Stroke (REGARDS) cohort
Conclusion: In the REGARDS cohort, black participants were less likely than white participants to experience infection and sepsis events. Further efforts should focus on elucidating the underlying reasons for these observations, which are in contrast to existing literature.

Stroke volume guided resuscitation in severe sepsis and septic shock improves outcomes
To determine whether stroke volume (SV) guided fluid resuscitation in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock alters Intensive Care Unit (ICU) fluid balance and secondary outcomes, this retrospective cohort study evaluated consecutive patients admitted to an ICU with the primary diagnosis of severe sepsis or septic shock. Cohorts were based on fluid resuscitation guided by changes in SV or by usual care (UC). The SV group comprised 100 patients, with 91 patients in the UC group. Net fluid balance for the ICU stay was lower in the SV group (1.77L) than in the UC group (5.36L) (p=0.022).
