Coexisting metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease exacerbates in-hospital outcomes in patients with heat stroke.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the impact of coexisting metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) on in-hospital mortality and organ injury markers in patients with heat stroke (HS).

Approach: HS patients were retrospectively identified between July 1, 2022 and September 30, 2023 at West China Hospital, Sichuan University. Baseline characteristics, such as demographics, initial vital signs, and organ functional indicators were collected.

Effects of propofol, benzodiazepines, and opioids on survival in cancer patients: a retrospective cohort study based on MIMIC-III.

Sedative and analgesic drugs are commonly used in the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients. Analyzing the impact of these drugs on the prognosis of cancer patients can help improve patient outcomes. This study aimed to analyze the use of propofol, benzodiazepines, and opioids on the survival of cancer patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) based on the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care III (MIMIC-III) database.

A Case Report of Two Kala-Azar Cases in China Diagnosed by Metagenomic Next-Generation Sequencing.

Background: Leishmaniasis being a local disease, as kala-azar this particular form is a visceral form. It is transmitted by sandflies, and is a parasitic disease involving the reticuloendothelial system of mononuclear macrophages. Due to its poor prognosis and high fatality rate, the fatality rate of patients without effective treatment can exceed 95%.

Maximum inferior vena cava diameter predicts post-induction hypotension in hypertensive patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery under general anesthesia: A prospective cohort study.

Background: Inferior vena cava (IVC) ultrasonography is a reliable variable that predicts post-induction hypotension (PIH) in patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. However, in patients with hypertension, the predictive performance of ultrasound IVC measurements needs further exploration.

Methods: This is a prospective cohort study.

Causes Intracranial Infection: A Case Study.

is a rarely encountered bacterium in clinical practice. It is a rare gram-negative rod-shaped bacterium associated with lung and urinary tract infections, but never found in cerebrospinal fluid. This paper reports a case of an adult patient infected by via an unknown route of infection causing a severe intracranial infection.
