Systemic lupus erythematosus associated with development of macrophage activation syndrome and disseminated aspergillosis
CONCLUSIONS: Four features of this case merit discussion, including the: 1) infrequent association of SLE with MAS; 2) short interval between SLE diagnosis and critical illness; 3) manifestation of fungal tracheobronchitis with airway obstruction; and 4) lack of response to antifungal treatment while receiving ECMO.PMID:37349668 | DOI:10.1007/s12630-023-02506-2

Can ED chest pain patients with intermediate HEART scores be managed as outpatients?
CONCLUSION: This study demonstrates that rapid access clinics are likely a safe alternative to admission for intermediate-risk chest pain patients and could reduce costly inpatient admissions for chest pain. With angiography excluded, MACE rates were well below the American College of Emergency Physicians cited 2% threshold.PMID:36129627 | DOI:10.1007/s43678-022-00355-4

Hemoglobin Concentration May Influence the Incidence of Postoperative Transient Neurological Events in Patients With Moyamoya After Extracranial-intracranial Arterial Bypass: A Retrospective Single Center Experience
Background: Moyamoya is a rare condition characterized by cerebral angiographic findings of intracranial carotid artery stenosis with abnormal net-like vessels in the brain, and often presents as transient ischemic attacks or intracranial hemorrhage. Revascularization in the form of extracranial-intracranial (EC-IC) artery bypass has demonstrated efficacy in preventing ischemic attacks and intracranial hemorrhage, although it is associated with a relatively high rate of perioperative ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke. This retrospective analysis aims to evaluate the possible association between postoperative hemoglobin (...

Head CT for the intensivist: 10 tips and pearls
Minerva Anestesiol. 2022 Feb 24. doi: 10.23736/S0375-9393.22.16200-0. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTHead imaging is an essential diagnostic tool for the management of patients with most acute neurological emergencies involving the brain. While numerous modalities including magnetic resonance imaging and catheter angiography play a role, computed tomography (CT) of the brain is far and away the most widely utilized technique because of its widespread availability and the fact that it is usually easier to implement in critically ill and potentially unstable patients. CT is particularly useful in identifying acute intracrania...

Eagle Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Stroke in a Young Patient
We report the case of a 26-year-old man who presented to the emergency department because he noticed that his right hand had become clumsy. He first noticed this symptom five days before his presentation, but he noticed that his symptom had improved significantly since it began. He reported that he had episodes of neck pain and pain around the ear. He visited the family physician clinic several times for this complaint and was diagnosed as having a temporomandibular joint disorder. Neurological examination revealed decreased muscle strength in the right upper limb with a power of 4/5 along with a sensory deficit. The coord...

Evaluation of the risk factors for neurological and neurocognitive impairment after selective cerebral perfusion in thoracic aortic surgery
ConclusionsWe found that prolonged SCP time and coronary artery disease increased the risk of postoperative stroke. Heterogeneous carotid plaque, history of cerebrovascular disease, concomitant CABG and prolonged operation time were further significant predictors of POCD.

Effect of Intra-arterial Nimodipine on Cerebral Oxygen Saturation and Systemic Hemodynamic Indices in Patients With Cerebral Vasospasm: A Prospective Cohort Study
This study assessed the effect of IaN on rScO2 and systemic hemodynamic indices during IaN therapy for cerebral vasospasm after aSAH. Methods: This prospective cohort study was conducted in 20 patients over sixteen month period after ethics committee approval and informed consent. Patients with angiographic evidence of vasospasm received IaN 3mg over 30 minutes in the spastic vessels. Data regarding rScO2 heart rate (HR), mean blood pressure (MBP) cardiac index (CI), stroke volume index (SVI), stroke volume variation (SVV), and total peripheral resistance index (TPRI) were collected during IaN treatment. The primary out...

A Case-Based Discussion on the Management of Cryptogenic Stroke and Patent Foramen Ovale in the Patient With a Hypercoagulable Disorder
UP TO 40% of all ischemic strokes are considered cryptogenic, implying a stroke without a definitive etiology.1,2 With a dearth of evidence-guided treatment strategies, the literature surrounding cryptogenic stroke is highly variable and not well-standardized. Even though existing guidelines do not specify the exact testing required, the cryptogenic stroke evaluation includes a variety of imaging modalities (eg, echocardiography, angiography, magnetic resonance imaging, carotid ultrasound) and laboratory investigations (eg, genetic testing, hypercoagulable disorder panels, erythrocyte sedimentation rate).
