Evolution of platelet activation parameters during septic shock in intensive care unit
During severe sepsis, platelet activation may induce disseminate microvascular thrombosis, which play a key role in critical organ failure. Crucially, most of the studies in this field have explored platelet-leukocyte interactions in animal models, or explored platelets under the spectrum of thrombocytopenia or disseminated intravascular coagulation and have not taken into account the complex interplay that might exist between platelets and leukocytes during human septic shock nor the kinetics of platelet activation. Here, we assessed platelet activation parameters at the admission of patients with sepsis to the intensive ...

What Causes Sudden Vision Loss?
Discussion Vision loss, whether chronic or acute, is distressing at any time for patients and families. Prompt evaluation and treatment are important as maintenance of any acuity and light or movement is considered paramount. Most vision loss is due to chronic problems and aging issues but the differential diagnosis is broad. For any age, but especially children, uncorrected refractive errors can cause problems in not only in childhood but throughout someone’s lifetime. Visual impairment for distance vision is considered mild if worse than 6/12 in meters = 20/40 in feet or 0.3 LogMAR and for moderate impairment is 6/...
