To analyze the association between pleural effusion detected by chest point of care ultrasound (POCUS) and clinical outcomes in patients with septic shock admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU). A prospective evaluation of ICU patients with septic shock in whom chest POCUS was performed during the first 24 hours of diagnosis to identify the presence and characteristics of pleural effusion. Of 45 patients with septic shock, 17 (38%) had pleural effusion.

- * A systematic review of studies revealed a median diagnostic delay of 1 year, with most patients presenting common symptoms like ear and nasal chondritis, while treatments primarily included corticosteroids and monoclonal antibodies.
- * Findings highlight the need for increased awareness and research on pediatric RP, as well as the importance of effective treatments like corticosteroids and therapies such as infliximab.
Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to analyze and compare the types of bacteria found in ear infections (otorrhea) in children with and without cleft palate who had tympanostomy tubes inserted.
- The researchers reviewed data from children under 18 who underwent the procedure between 2017 and 2021, highlighting that 38.9% experienced significant ear drainage requiring further medical attention.
- They discovered higher rates of otorrhea in children with cleft palate (50%) versus those without (35.7%), with certain bacteria being notably resistant to antibiotics, particularly fluoroquinolones, though differences in resistance patterns were not significant between the two groups.
Pyrolysis of residues enriched with carbon, such as in agroforestry or industrial activities, has been postulated as an emerging technology to promote the production of biofuels, contributing to the circular economy and minimizing waste. However, during the pyrolysis processes a solid fraction residue is generated. This work aims to study the viability of these chars to develop porous carbonaceous materials that can be used for environmental applications.
