: To evaluate the prognostic value of high-sensitivity troponin (hsT) in severe aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). : This prospective non-interventional study was performed at a surgical intensive care unit (ICU) from 2012 to 2015. Consecutive patients who had severe aSAH were included.

Background: Sepsis profoundly alters immune homeostasis. Cytokine release after whole blood lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulation reflects cell function across multiple immune cell classes and represents the immune response to LPS. The main goal of this study was to evaluate the prognostic value of ex vivo stimulation of whole blood with LPS in sepsis.

- The study aimed to determine if noninvasive ventilation (NIV) can lower the need for invasive mechanical ventilation in patients suffering from hypoxemic acute respiratory failure after abdominal surgery.
- During a clinical trial involving 293 patients across 20 French intensive care units, participants were divided into two groups: one receiving standard oxygen therapy and the other receiving NIV through a facial mask.
- Results showed that patients using NIV had a lower rate of reintubation (33.1%) compared to those receiving standard therapy (45.5%), indicating NIV may be more effective in preventing the need for invasive ventilation.
The stay in intensive care unit can be potentially traumatic at the origin of post-traumatic stress symptoms. The severity of post-traumatic stress symptoms is linked to the intensity and the type of traumatic memories of the intensive care stay. Sedatives and analgesics given to ventilated patients in intensive care influence the traumatic memory.

This observation raised the questions of the real prevalence of pulmonary trichomonosis in humans, the zoonotic potential of trichomonads, and the existence of human-host-adapted strains.
