Background: Shenfu (SF) injection, a traditional Chinese medication, would improve microcirculation in cardiogenic shock and infectious shock. This study was aimed to explore the therapeutic potential of the SF injection in gut ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury after severe hemorrhagic shock (SHS) and resuscitation. Furthermore, we also investigated the optimal adm? inistration timing.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to create a machine learning model to predict 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC), which is linked to poor health outcomes.
  • Researchers analyzed data from three sources (MIMIC-III, MIMIC-IV, eICU-CRD) and used advanced techniques to identify key predictive factors for mortality, testing various ML algorithms for performance.
  • XGBoost emerged as the most effective model, demonstrating high accuracy and performance metrics across datasets, indicating its potential for early risk assessment in SIC patients.

Purpose: Nebulized colistin (NC) is a potential therapy for ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP); however, the clinical efficacy and safety of NC remain unclear. This study investigated whether NC is an effective therapy for patients with VAP.

Materials And Methods: We performed a search in Web of Science, PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library to retrieve randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies published at any time until February 6, 2023.

Background: Carbapenem-resistant microorganism (CRO) transmission in the medical setting confers a global threat to public health. However, there is no established risk prediction model for infection due to CRO in ICU patients. This study aimed to develop a nomogram to predict the risk of acquiring CRO infection in patients with the first ICU admission and to determine the length of ICU stay (ICU-LOS) and 28-day survival.
