Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the treatment of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) caused by vaccine-induced immune thrombotic thrombocytopenia (VITT) following adenovirus-based COVID-19 vaccinations.
- Researchers analyzed data from 99 patients across 17 countries to assess adherence to recommended treatments, including immunomodulation and avoiding certain anticoagulants.
- While overall adherence to these treatment guidelines did not significantly impact mortality, patients who received immunomodulation showed lower mortality rates compared to those who did not.
Article Synopsis
- - The study focuses on patients who developed cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) after receiving SARS-CoV-2 vaccines, specifically ChAdOx1 (Oxford-AstraZeneca) and Ad26.COV2.S (Johnson & Johnson), particularly looking at those with thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) versus those without.
- - Data was gathered from an international registry from 81 hospitals spanning 19 countries, highlighting the clinical characteristics and mortality rates of patients with CVST in relation to their vaccination status.
- - Of 116 postvaccination CVST patients, 67.2% had TTS, predominantly after the ChAdOx1 vaccine, with a notable percentage of female patients and
Purpose: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in the intensive care unit (ICU), notably in patients with septic shock for whom inflammation is an already identified risk factor. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of low-dose hydrocortisone on AF occurrence in patients with septic shock.
Methods: We performed a prospective nonrandomized observational study in 5 academic ICUs in France.

Aim: To identify the risk factors for mortality in intensive care patients with postoperative peritonitis (POP).
Methods: This was a retrospective analysis using a prospective database that includes all patients hospitalized in a surgical intensive care unit for POP from September 2006 to August 2011. The data collected included demographics, comorbidities, postoperative severity parameters, bacteriological findings, adequacy of antimicrobial therapy and surgical treatments.
