Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how sex influences the outcomes of patients undergoing prolonged weaning from invasive ventilation, utilizing a retrospective analysis at a hospital in Germany.
- Out of 785 patients, both men and women showed relatively high rates of successful weaning (77.9% for women and 75.4% for men), with sex not identified as a significant risk factor for weaning failure.
- Key risk factors differed between sexes: for men, age and duration of ventilation were critical, while for women, previous non-invasive ventilation, critical illness polyneuropathy, and delirium played significant roles.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is known as a rare etiology of embolic ischemic stroke. In individuals below 50 years, up to 20% of strokes are associated with APS, whereas in patients >50 years, it is considered a very seldom cause of stroke. We describe the course of a 66-year-old white woman, who experienced four embolic strokes with large vessel occlusion over a period of 2 years, which were repeatedly and successfully treated by mechanical thrombectomy.

Background: Delivering bad news to patients is one of the most challenging tasks in medical practice. Despite its great relevance to patients, relatives, and medical staff, there is a paucity of data pertaining to training, experience, expectations, and preferences of physicians and medical students on breaking bad news.
Methods: We conducted an international survey in Germany, Switzerland, and Austria using an online questionnaire among physicians and medical students.
