Intraparenchymal hemorrhage related to cerebral venous air embolism secondary to mesenteric ischemia
CONCLUSIONS: Mesenteric ischaemia can cause significant pneumatosis intestinalis, which, by a retrograde mechanism through the portal system, can cause air bubbles to reach the cerebral venous system, leading to acute stroke.PMID:33908620 | DOI:10.33588/rn.7209.2020652

Neurological Complications in Patients with Infective Endocarditis: Insights from a Tertiary Centre
Conclusions: In this population, embolization to the CNS was common, more often presented as ischemic stroke, and was associated with longer hospitalization, although without significant differences in mortality. In patients with CNS embolization, those submitted to surgery had a good clinical evolution, while patients with septic shock and HIV infection had a worse outcome. These results should be interpreted with caution, taking into consideration that patients with more severe complications or more fragile were probably less often considered for surgery, resulting in selection bias.

Managing Patients with Infectious Endocarditis and Neurological Complication — The Big Dilemma that Persists Until these Days

Outcomes of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation in acute respiratory distress syndrome due to COVID ‐19: The lessons learned from the first wave of COVID‐19
ConclusionsBased on our experience, ECMO can improve refractory ARDS due to COVID ‐19 in select patients. Proper control of bacterial infections during COVID‐19 immunomodulation therapy may be critical to improving survival.

Intravenous immunoglobulin for overwhelming postsplenectomy infection
Kensuke Nakamura, Yuji Takahashi, Tomohiro Sonoo, Hideki HashimotoJournal of Global Infectious Diseases 2021 13(1):44-51Overwhelming postsplenectomy infection (OPSI) is a life-threatening condition causing fulminant bacteremia in asplenic patients. Intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy is theoretically effective for OPSI. Herein, we present a case of OPSI treated successfully with IVIG, along with results of a literature review. An asplenic 70-year-old male with acute ischemic stroke presented with rapid and fulminant septic shock from pneumococcus pneumonia and bacteremia. Resuscitation and antibiotics including IVIG ...

Established evidence-based treatment guidelines help mitigate disparities in quality of emergency care.
CONCLUSIONS: Long-standing, nationally reported evidence-based guidelines can help eliminate sex and race/ethnicity disparities in quality of care. When providers know their care is being monitored and reported, their implicit biases may be less likely to impact care. PMID: 33599040 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Clinical Features and Outcome of Infective Endocarditis in a University Hospital in Romania
Conclusions: Staphylococcus aureus IE was associated with the presence of large vegetations, prosthetic valve endocarditis and intracardiac abscess. Coagulase negative Staphylococcus (CoNS) infection was associated with prosthetic valve dysfunction. Streptococcus gallolyticus etiology correlated with ischemic embolic stroke and the presence of large vegetations. Cardiovascular surgery was recommended in 67.4% of patients but was performed only on half of them. In hospital death occurred in 33.7% of patients and independent predictors of mortality were congestive heart failure and septic shock.PMID:33578787 | DOI:10.3390/medicina57020158
