    Abstract Isolated cortical venous thrombosis (ICVT) occurring in the absence of dural venous thrombosis, constitutes about 2%-5% of all cerebral venous thrombosis. Its vague, non-specific presentation makes it a difficult and challenging diagnosis that needs an extensive workup especially in young patients. Outcome and prognosis depend mainly on early diagnosis and treatment. Here we discuss the clinical presentation, diagnosis and the treatment of a young woman diagnosed with ICVT with acute ischaemic venous stroke, in the setting of eclampsia and family history of coagulation disease.

    Abstract Background: Sepsis is a common condition managed in the emergency department, and the majority of patients respond to resuscitation measures, including antibiotics and i.v. fluids. However, a proportion of patients will fail to respond to standard treatment.
    Objective: This review elucidates practical considerations for management of sepsis in patients who fail to respond to standard treatment.
    Discussion: Early goal-directed therapy revolutionized sepsis management. However, there is a paucity of literature that provides a well-defined treatment algorithm for patients who fail to improve with therapy. Refractory shock can be defined as continued patient hemodynamic instability (mean arterial pressure, ≤ 65 mm Hg, lactate ≥ 4 mmol/L, altered mental status) after adequate fluid loading (at least 30 mL/kg i.v.), the use of two vasopressors (with one as norepinephrine), and provision of antibiotics. When a lack of improvement is evident in the early stages of resuscitation, systematically considering source control, appropriate volume resuscitation, adequate antimicrobial coverage, vasopressor selection, presence of metabolic pathology, and complications of resuscitation, such as abdominal compartment syndrome and respiratory failure, allow emergency physicians to address the entire clinical scenario.
    Conclusions: The care of sepsis has experienced many changes in recent years. Care of the patient with sepsis who is not responding appropriately to initial resuscitation is troublesome for emergency physicians. This review provides practical considerations for resuscitation of the patient with septic shock. When a septic patient is refractory to standard therapy, systematically evaluating the patient and clinical course may lead to improved outcomes.

    Abstract Background: Multiple risk stratification scoring systems exist to forecast outcomes in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).
    Objective: We evaluated the comparative validity of the PE severity index (PESI) and the prognosis in pulmonary embolism (PREP) scores to predict mortality in acute PE.
    Design: Retrospective observational cohort study.
    Setting: Washington Hospital Center, Washington, DC.
    Patients: Consecutive adults (aged >18 years) diagnosed with acute PE.
    Intervention: The PESI and PREP scores were calculated.
    Measurements: Raw PESI scores were segregated into risk class (I-V) and then dichotomized into low (I-II) versus high (III-V) risk groups; the raw PREP scores were divided into low (0-7) versus high (>7) risk groups. The primary endpoint was 30-day and 90-day mortality. We determined the negative predictive value and computed the area under the receiver operating characteristics (AUROC) curves to compare the ability of these scoring tools.
    Results: The cohort consisted of 302 subjects. Thirty-day mortality was 3.0%, and 4.0% died within 90 days. The PESI and the PREP performed similarly (PESI AUROC: 0.858 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.773-0.943] vs 0.719 [95% CI, 0.563-0.875] for PREP). Segregating these scores into risk categories did not affect their discriminatory power (AUROC: 0.684 [95% CI, 0.559-0.810] for PESI and 0.790 [95% CI, 0.679-0.903] for PREP). The negative predictive value for death of being classified as low risk by the PESI or PREP was 100% and 99%, respectively.
    Conclusions: The PREP score performed comparably to the PESI score for identifying PE patients at low risk for short-term and intermediate-term mortality.
