    Abstract Despite significant advances in understanding acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), mortality rates remain high. The appropriate use of adjunctive therapies can improve outcomes, particularly for patients with moderate to severe hypoxia. In this review, the authors discuss the evidence basis behind prone positioning, recruitment maneuvers, neuromuscular blocking agents, corticosteroids, pulmonary vasodilators, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and considerations for their use in individual patients and specific clinical scenarios. Because the heterogeneity of ARDS poses challenges in finding universally effective treatments, an individualized approach and continued research efforts are crucial for optimizing the utilization of adjunctive therapies and improving patient outcomes.

    Abstract Acute respiratory distress syndrome is a heterogenous syndrome with many etiologies for which there are no definitive pharmacologic treatments, despite decades of research. We explore some adjunctive pharmacologic therapies, including neuromuscular blockade, corticosteroids, and inhaled pulmonary vasodilators. Additionally, we explore some investigative therapies, including Vitamin C, beta-agonists, statins, mesenchymal stromal cells, and granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor. We do discuss the potential role of steroids in acute respiratory distress syndrome with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 as a trigger. The standard of care, however, remains supportive care.

    Abstract With an ever-increasing number of COVID-19 survivors, providers are tasked with addressing the longer lasting symptoms of COVID-19, or postacute sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 infection (PASC). For critically ill patients, existing knowledge about postintensive care syndrome (PICS) represents a useful structure for understanding PASC. Post-ICU clinics leverage a multidisciplinary team to evaluate and treat the physical, cognitive, and psychological sequelae central to both PICS and PASC in critically ill patients. While management through both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic modalities can be used, further research into both the optimal treatment and prevention of PASC represents a key public health imperative.

    Abstract hyposplenism increases the risk of life-threatening infection with encapsulated bacteria. however, literature review revealed that hyposplenism is also a risk factor for disseminated fungal infection. here, we report a case of individual who presented with pyrexia of unknown origin and had splenectomy for hemolytic anemia and later he found to have disseminated fungal infection on bone marrow examination. this case emphasized the likelihood of disseminated fungal infection in an asplenic patient and also importance of bone marrow trephine in prompt diagnosis and management of patient.

    Abstract The origin of the patient-centered interdisciplinary collaborative round, which involves health care members of all levels at a time, is an effective and emerging approach to offer inpatient healthcare. Traditionally, post-partum rounds at teaching hospitals consisted of separate visits from all members of the obstetric team that resulted in patient inconvenience, care insufficiencies, and communication gaps. The main objective of this study was to assess the patient's satisfaction level from the traditional post-partum round versus the patient-centered collaborative care (PCCC) round. This study showed that in the traditional round, the patient's satisfaction with the treatment was 95.1%; whereas, in PCCC rounds it was 96.9%. Patients were more satisfied with the treatment options discussed with them and the results of the medical tests explained to them. In conclusion, the survey showed that the implementation of the PCCC round improved patient satisfaction. Key Words: Interdisciplinary collaborative  round, Traditional postpartum round, Patients satisfaction, Clinical competence.

    Abstract Purpose of review: If developed using rigorous methods and produced in a timely manner, clinical practice guidelines have the potential to improve patient outcomes. Although the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the challenges involved in generating reliable clinical guidance, it has also provided an opportunity to address these challenges.
    Recent findings: New research addressing drugs for COVID-19 is being produced at unprecedented rates. Incorporating this new knowledge into patient care can be daunting for the average clinician. In collaboration with the BMJ and MAGIC, the WHO has developed a living guideline initiative with the goal of providing rapid and trustworthy clinical guidance in response to practice-changing evidence. As new evidence becomes available, it is incorporated into a living network meta-analysis that informs these guidelines, which are iteratively updated. Until this point, the group has generated guidelines addressing the use of corticosteroids, remdesivir, hydroxychloroquine, lopinavir/ritonavir, and ivermectin for COVID-19.
    Summary: We provide an example of how rapid and rigorous guidelines can be accomplished, even in the setting of a pandemic, capitalizing on expertise, large and dedicated teams, and focused scope. We highlight the benefits of multifaceted knowledge dissemination through multiple formats to ensure global dissemination and in order to maximize impact.

    Abstract Background: Emergency general surgery (EGS) operations are associated with substantial risk of morbidity including postoperative respiratory failure (PRF). While existing risk models are not widely utilized and rely on traditional statistical methods, application of machine learning (ML) in prediction of PRF following EGS remains unexplored.
    Objective: The present study aimed to develop ML-based prediction models for respiratory failure following EGS and compare their performance to traditional regression models using a nationally-representative cohort.
    Methods: Non-elective hospitalizations for EGS (appendectomy, cholecystectomy, repair of perforated ulcer, large or small bowel resection, lysis of adhesions) were identified in the 2016-18 Nationwide Readmissions Database. Factors associated with PRF were identified using ML techniques and logistic regression. The performance of XGBoost and logistic regression was evaluated using the receiver operating characteristic curve and coefficient of determination (R2). The impact of PRF on mortality, length of stay (LOS) and hospitalization costs was secondarily assessed using generalized linear models.
    Results: Of 1,003,703 hospitalizations, 8.8% developed PRF. The XGBoost model exhibited slightly superior discrimination compared to logistic regression (0.900, 95% CI 0.899-0.901 vs 0.894, 95% CI 0.862-0.896). Compared to logistic regression, XGBoost demonstrated excellent calibration across all risk levels (R2: 0.998 vs 0.962). Congestive heart failure, neurologic disorders, and coagulopathy were significantly associated with increased risk of PRF. After risk-adjustment, PRF was associated with 10-fold greater odds (95% confidence interval (CI) 9.8-11.1) of mortality and incremental increases in LOS by 3.1 days (95% CI 3.0-3.2) and $11,900 (95% CI 11,600-12,300) in costs.
    Conclusions: Logistic regression and XGBoost perform similarly in overall classification of PRF risk. However, due to superior calibration at extremes of risk, ML-based models may prove more useful in the clinical setting, where probabilities rather than classifications are desired.

    Abstract Systemic autoimmune conditions may cause morbidity and mortality. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a prominent example of such diseases. It can result in conduction abnormalities due to accelerated atherosclerosis, vasculitis, or autoantibodies-induced myocarditis. Cardiac conduction abnormalities may produce sinus tachycardia, sinus bradycardia, prolonged QT intervals, atrial fibrillation, or atrioventricular (AV) nodal blocks. Neonatal lupus is sometimes associated with anti-Ro/SSA and anti-La/SSB antibodies, but their role remains a matter of controversy in adults.
