An Intensive Care Medicine (ICM) rotation provides fantastic learning opportunities for doctors of all specialties. Understanding your role in this highly specialised field will assist you in gaining maximal benefit from your time in ICM while ensuring the best outcomes for your patients. It can be quite daunting reviewing deteriorating patients and admitting patients to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).

We compared 28-day in-hospital mortality of Wild-type, Alpha, Delta, and Omicron variant infections. Whether the difference in risk by variant varied by age was also evaluated.

- Palaeoparasitological studies use ancient feces (coprolites) to learn about historical parasites, focusing on the salt mines of Hallstatt in the Austrian Alps dating back to the Bronze and Iron Ages.
- Analysis of 35 coprolites revealed that 91% contained eggs from soil-transmitted helminths, primarily Trichuris and Ascaris, with Ascaris eggs being particularly well-preserved.
- Researchers successfully extracted DNA from the coprolites, obtaining molecular data on the A. lumbricoides species complex from 16 samples, including the earliest genetic evidence of this parasite from the Bronze Age itself.
We subjected human paleofeces dating from the Bronze Age to the Baroque period (18 century AD) to in-depth microscopic, metagenomic, and proteomic analyses. The paleofeces were preserved in the underground salt mines of the UNESCO World Heritage site of Hallstatt in Austria. This allowed us to reconstruct the diet of the former population and gain insights into their ancient gut microbiome composition.
