Biomarker patterns in patients with cardiogenic shock versus septic shock.
Int J Cardiol Heart Vasc

Background: In cardiogenic shock (CS), contractile failure is often accompanied by a systemic inflammatory response syndrome. In contrast, many patients with septic shock (SS) develop cardiac dysfunction. A similar hemodynamic support strategy is often deployed in both syndromes but it is unclear whether this is justified based on profiles of biomarkers expressing neurohormonal activation and cardiovascular stress.

- Guidelines recommend active fever prevention for 72 hours after cardiac arrest, but evidence from clinical trials on its effectiveness is lacking.
- In a study of comatose patients resuscitated after cardiac arrest, researchers compared temperature control interventions for either 36 or 72 hours.
- The results showed no significant differences in mortality or disability rates between the two groups at 90 days, indicating that fever prevention for 36 hours could be as effective as 72 hours.
Background: Combining the antibiotic azithromycin and hydroxychloroquine induces airway immunomodulatory effects, with the latter also having antiviral properties. This may improve outcomes in patients hospitalised for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
Methods: Placebo-controlled double-blind randomised multicentre trial.
Article Synopsis
- - Pheochromocytoma is a rare tumor that grows in the adrenal medulla and can cause high blood pressure due to releasing special chemicals called catecholamines.
- - Diagnosing this condition is tough because its symptoms can come and go, and they can be similar to other, more common problems.
- - In one case, a young man experienced very high blood pressure and heart issues for 9 years, which got worse after drinking many energy drinks; doctors found the tumor through a scan.
