Many natural systems show emergent phenomena at different scales, leading to scaling regimes with signatures of deterministic chaos at large scales and an apparently random behavior at small scales. These features are usually investigated quantitatively by studying the properties of the underlying attractor, the compact object asymptotically hosting the trajectories of the system with their invariant density in the phase space. This multi-scale nature of natural systems makes it practically impossible to get a clear picture of the attracting set.

Objectives: The occurrence of mediastinitis after cardiac surgery remains a rare and severe complication associated with poor outcomes. Whereas bacterial mediastinitis have been largely described, little is known about their fungal etiologies. We report incidence, characteristics and outcome of post-cardiac surgery fungal mediastinitis.

Article Synopsis
  • This study analyzed the effectiveness of procalcitonin (PCT) levels in differentiating between bacterial and nonbacterial infections in patients with severe exacerbations of COPD admitted to the ICU.
  • Results showed that PCT levels were significantly higher in patients with bacterial infections compared to those without documented pathogens, but the overall accuracy of PCT for predicting bacterial infections was low (c-index around 0.64).
  • The conclusion indicates that, although higher PCT levels were observed in bacterial cases, the test's ability to accurately distinguish between infection types is limited.
