Septic shock is a highly lethal and prevalent disease. Progressive circulatory dysfunction leads to tissue hypoperfusion and hypoxia, eventually evolving to multiorgan dysfunction and death. Prompt resuscitation may revert these pathogenic mechanisms, restoring oxygen delivery and organ function.

- The study highlights the variability in effectiveness among antihypertensive drugs, indicating that not all medications are equally capable of achieving target blood pressure levels.
- The ATOM study's findings were used to create two tables that outline expected blood pressure reductions for various drugs and combinations, aiding clinicians in treatment decisions.
- Recommendations for antihypertensive therapy should focus on the specific effects of individual drugs and combinations, rather than just their pharmacological classes.
Objective: To evaluate the clinical utility of glycolic acid (GA) determination in the diagnosis and prognosis of ethylene glycol (EG) intoxications.
Method: Systematic review of serum and/or urine GA concentrations available in the literature in cases of EG poisoning. Present a clinical case in which the determination of the GA was decisive.
Introduction: Blood pressure increases in cold periods, but its implications on prevalence of hypertension and on individual progression to hypertension remain unclear. Our aim was to develop a pre-screening test for identifying candidates to suffer hypertension only in cold months among non-hypertensive subjects.
Methods: We included 95,277 subjects registered on a primary care database from Girona (Catalonia, Spain), with ≥ 3 blood pressure measures recorded between 2003 and 2009 and distributed in both cold (October-March) and warm (April-September) periods.
