    Abstract The sympathetic nervous system plays an important role in the initial response to sepsis. This response enables the host to respond to invading pathogens; however, prolonged activation can become pathological. The potential for unregulated sympathetic tone to become detrimental in the septic patient has fueled interest in the role and impact of sympathetic manipulation, including the selective inhibition of sympathetic tone to return and augment vascular reactivity. While conventional understanding of alpha 2 agonists activity is depletion of sympathetic outflow, novel evidence suggests mitigation rather than depletion. The mechanism by which these agents exert these properties remains controversial and appears to be condition-specific. The hypothesis by which alpha agonists affect the pathology of sepsis is multifactorial, but includes influence on inflammatory regulation, coagulopathy, dynamic flow, as well as vascular responsiveness and integrity. Theory and basic science evidence supports the use of α agonists in the septic population. The clinical evidence shedding light on this topic is limited and confounded by intention or trial design. Future evidence should focus on adjuvant therapy in patients progressing to or at high risk of shock development.

    Abstract The performance-enhancing potential of acute caffeine consumption is firmly established with benefits for many aspects of physical performance and cognitive function summarised in a number of meta-analyses. Despite this, there remains near exponential growth in research articles examining the ergogenic effects of caffeine. Many such studies are confirmatory of well-established ideas, and with a wealth of convincing evidence available, the value of further investigation may be questioned. However, several important knowledge gaps remain. As such, the purpose of this review is to summarise key knowledge gaps regarding the current understanding of the performance-enhancing effect of caffeine and justify their value for future investigation. The review will provide a particular focus on ten research priorities that will aid in the translation of caffeine's ergogenic potential to real-world sporting scenarios. The discussion presented here is therefore essential in guiding the design of future work that will aid in progressing the current understanding of the effects of caffeine as a performance enhancer.

    Abstract Sporadic Burkitt's lymphoma can have a variety of clinical manifestations, including a constellation of gastrointestinal symptoms that can masquerade as other conditions and lead to a delay in diagnosis. Here we review a case of Burkitt's lymphoma in a patient with a history of Crohn's disease, initially thought to be a Crohn's flare on initial presentation. This case highlights the importance of keeping a broad differential and ruling out Crohn's mimics in the process of treating a presumed exacerbation of inflammatory bowel disease.

    Abstract When developing educational simulators, meaningful haptic feedback is important. To our knowledge, no shoulder arthroplasty surgical simulator exists. This study focuses on simulating vibration haptics of glenoid reaming for shoulder arthroplasty using a novel glenoid reaming simulator.
    Methods: We validated a novel custom simulator constructed using a vibration transducer transmitting simulated reaming vibrations to a powered nonwearing reamer tip through a 3D-printed glenoid. Validation and system fidelity were evaluated by 9 fellowship-trained shoulder surgeon experts performing a series of simulated reamings. We then completed the validation process through a questionnaire focused on experts' experience with the simulator.
    Results: Experts correctly identified 52% ± 8% of surface profiles and 69% ± 21% of cartilage layers. Experts identified the vibration interface between simulated cartilage and subchondral bone (77% ± 23% of the time), indicating high fidelity for the system. An interclass correlation coefficient for experts' reaming to the subchondral plate was 0.682 (confidence interval 0.262-0.908). On a general questionnaire, the perceived utility of the simulator as a teaching tool was highly ranked (4/5), and experts scored "ease of instrument manipulation" (4.19/5) and "realism of the simulator" (4.11/5) the highest. The mean global evaluation score was 6.8/10 (range 5-10).
    Conclusions: We examined a simulated glenoid reamer and feasibility of haptic vibrational feedback for training. Experts validated simulated vibration feedback for glenoid simulation reaming, and the results suggested that this may be a useful additional training adjuvant.
    Level of evidence: Level II, prospective study.

    Abstract Perforation after endoscopic cryoablation is a rare but serious complication. We present a middle-aged male patient who presented for an elective session of endoscopic cryoablation for his Barrett esophagus with high-grade dysplasia. After cryoablation, the patient complained of abdominal pain, and his abdomen became distended and tympanic. Computed tomography showed pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum, and pneumoretroperitoneum but no evidence of extraluminal contrast extravasation. The patient was treated with antibiotics and had no complications. To our knowledge, this is the first described case of pneumomediastinum, pneumoperitoneum, and pneumoretroperitoneum without frank perforation after endoscopic cryoablation.

    Abstract Background: Sepsis is associated with high rates of in-hospital mortality, despite being the focus of medical research and public health initiatives for several years. The primary objective of this study was to determine the influence of septic phenotypes on rates of in-hospital mortality throughout intensive care unit (ICU) admission.
    Patients and methods: Retrospective, single-center cohort study. Medical ICU of an academic medical center. Medical ICU patients admitted between January 2016 and August 2019 with a "sepsis alert" were screened for admitting diagnosis of "sepsis" or "septic shock." Patients were classified into one of four clinical sepsis phenotypes: multi-organ failure (MOF), respiratory dysfunction (RD), neurologic dysfunction (ND), or other patients (OP).
    Results: An analysis of 320 patients was completed. In-hospital mortality was different between groups (P < 0.001). Patients with the MOF phenotype had the highest rate of mortality (48.4%), followed by the ND phenotype (39.7%), RD phenotype (20.8%), and OP phenotype (13.7%). There were differences in volume balances between phenotypes at 48 h (P = 0.001), 72 h (P < 0.001), and 96 h (P < 0.001) after hospital presentation, with the MOF and ND phenotypes having the largest volume balances at these time points. Ventilator-free days (P < 0.001) and ICU length of stay (LOS) (P = 0.030) were different between groups. There was no difference in hospital LOS (P = 0.479).
    Conclusions: This data supports the presence of marked intra-disease differences in septic patient presentation and correlation with clinical outcomes including mortality. Additionally, significantly more positive fluid balances were observed between survivors and non-survivors in some patient subsets. Using pragmatic clinical variables readily available to providers to classify patients into septic phenotypes has the propensity to guide treatment strategies in the future.
