Clinical experience of infective endocarditis complicated by acute cerebrovascular accidents.
CONCLUSION: Early surgical intervention for IE with ischemic stroke may prevent adverse events, particularly in patients with impaired renal function, diabetes, or staphylococcal infection. A delay in operation of > 30 days is recommended after hemorrhagic stroke. PMID: 26610865 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Effects of early hemodynamic resuscitation on left ventricular performance and microcirculatory function during endotoxic shock
Background: Microcirculation and macrohemodynamics are severely compromised during septic shock. However, the relationship between these two compartments needs to be further investigated. We hypothesized that early resuscitation restores left ventricular (LV) performance and microcirculatory function but fails to prevent metabolic disorders. We studied the effects of an early resuscitation protocol (ERP) on LV pressure/volume loops-derived parameters, sublingual microcirculation, and metabolic alterations during endotoxic shock. Methods: Twenty-five pigs were randomized into three groups: LPS group: Escherichia coli lipopo...
