Incidence of Respiratory Pathogens in Naval Special Warfare Sea, Air, and Land Team Candidates With Swimming-Induced Pulmonary Edema.

Background: Swimming-induced pulmonary edema (SIPE) is a respiratory condition frequently seen among Naval Special Warfare (NSW) trainees. The incidence of positive respiratory panel (RP) findings in trainees with a diagnosis of SIPE currently is unknown.

Research Question: Does a significant difference exist in the incidence of respiratory pathogens in nasopharyngeal samples of NSW candidates with SIPE and a control group?

Study Design And Methods: Retrospective analysis of clinical information from NSW Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) team candidates with a diagnosis of SIPE over a 12-month period.

Volume Resuscitation and Progression to Organ Failure in Shiga Toxin-Producing Infection in Adults.

Unlabelled: Shiga toxin-producing infection is associated with dysentery and the hemolytic uremic syndrome, marked by the triad of microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, acute kidney failure, and thrombocytopenia. Descriptions of Shiga toxin-producing outbreaks causing hemolytic uremic syndrome in adults are sparse, and management strategies are largely adapted from pediatric literature where aggressive fluid administration is recommended. However, these may not be ideal for adults.
