Cardiovascular instability is a common manifestation of spinal cord injury, especially if the upper thoracic or cervical spine is involved. Here we report a case of lower thoracic spinal tumor who developed acute pulmonary edema postoperatively at post-anesthesia room following surgery. This might be caused by injudicious fluid administration after trying to correct intraoperative hypotension due to neurogenic shock. Therefore, meticulous calculation in fluid resuscitation together with vasopressors or inotropics support is important in dealing with neurogenic shock. Comprehensive monitoring of hemodynamic parameters, such as with central venous catheter or pulmonary catheter in this sort of surgery should be established for drastic fluid management.

Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (aSAH), resulting from ruptured aneurysms, is a major contributor to stroke-related mortality and morbidity. Despite advances in healthcare, aSAH remains severe and often leads to complications such as cerebral vasospasm (CV), cerebral infarction, and delayed ischemic neurological deficits (DIND). Clazosentan, an endothelin receptor antagonist, has demonstrated potential in alleviating vasospasm and its associated outcomes, although evidence of its efficacy remains unclear.

Background: Checkpoint inhibitor pneumonitis (CIP) that develops following immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) treatment can be difficult to distinguish from other common etiologies of lung inflammation in cancer patients. Here, we evaluate the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BAL) for potential biomarkers specific to CIP.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients who underwent standard of care bronchoscopy to compare the cytokines of interest between patients with and without CIP and with and without immune-mediated pulmonary diseases.

Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a life-threatening condition often associated with significant cardiac complications, particularly in the presence of underlying multivessel coronary artery disease. Mechanical complications, such as acute mitral regurgitation (MR), can worsen the clinical course, leading to rapid hemodynamic deterioration. Recent advancements in mechanical circulatory support and percutaneous interventions have introduced new therapeutic options, offering viable alternatives to traditional surgery for high-risk patients.
