In the past decade, noble gases have emerged as highly promising neuroprotective agents. Previous studies have demonstrated the efficacy of argon neuroprotection in rodent models of cerebral ischemia. The objective of the present pre-clinical study was to confirm the neuroprotective effect of argon in a non-human primate model of endovascular ischemic stroke.

- The study investigates the effectiveness of an automated algorithm for measuring intracranial blood volume to predict complications like delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and acute hydrocephalus (AH) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH).
- It compares the algorithm's predictive accuracy using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) against eight established radiological scales.
- Results from 145 patients indicate that the algorithm performs similarly to existing scales in predicting DCI and AH, with significant correlations found, particularly with the Hijdra scale for cisternal blood volume.
Background: Severe trauma is the leading cause of disability and mortality in the patients under 35 years of age. Surgical site infections (SSI) represent a significant complication in this patient population. However, they are often inadequately investigated, potentially impacting the quality of patient outcomes.

Mortality risk factors have been identified but there are major discrepancies in the literature. The aim of this study was to analyse the management of victims of penetrating cardiac injuries before and after admission to hospital and the anatomical characteristics of these injuries in order to facilitate diagnosis of the most critical patients.

We aimed to assess the existence and incidence of early renal dysfunction and its prognostic value in patients with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
Methods: In this prospective multicenter study, patients aged over 18 years with invasive mechanical ventilation (MV) for ARDS were enrolled in 3 ICUs.
