Article Synopsis
- The study examines the outcomes of glioblastoma patients with imaging deterioration, distinguishing between tumor recurrence and a treatment-related phenomenon called pseudoprogression.
- Out of 115 patients, most had tumor recurrence, but those with pseudoprogression showed better median survival (33.3 months) compared to those with recurrence (22.0 months).
- The findings suggest that if no tumor is found during repeat surgery, patients may have a better chance of survival, highlighting the importance of accurate histologic diagnosis in treatment planning.
Purpose: To determine whether participation in a clinical trial was associated with improved survival in patients with glioblastoma (GBM).
Methods: Following IRB approval, patients were identified using CPT and ICD codes. Data was collected using retrospective review of electronic medical records.
Introduction: Survivors of sepsis will progress towards rapid recovery (RAP) or enter a state of persistent organ dysfunction and chronic critical illness (CCI). Independently, anemia is known to be a significant factor in functional recovery of hospitalized patients. This study aims to analyze long-term hemoglobin levels and functional outcomes following RAP and CCI.

Purpose Of Review: Lipids have been utilized historically as a calorie dense means to ensure delivery of essential fatty acids (FA). Since the development of mixed lipid emulsion and investigation of immunomodulatory formulas, there has been an awakening that not all lipids are created equal. This narrative review focuses on contemporary evidence in the utilization of lipids (namely omega 3 fatty acids) in both acute and chronic critical illness.
