We report on a 43-year-old patient with septic aneurysm complicated by rupture of the pelvis of the kidney due to Salmonella enteritidis that we treated successfully by empiric therapy, then targeted antibiotic therapy and late surgical intervention with iliofemoral crossover bypass grafting and aneurysm resection. The course was complicated by deep neutropenia and chronic hepatitis C infection.

Aorto-duodenal fistula (ADF) is a rare clinical condition characterized by abnormal communication between the 3rd or 4th portion of the duodenum and the aorta, typically associated with aneurysmal disease. The incidence of ADF is expected to increase, however, there remains a lack of consensus on the optimal approach for intestinal restoration. In this study, we present three cases of ADF and their respective treatments using three distinct surgical techniques.

Mycotic aneurysms are rare but severe complications that can arise from systemic bacterial infections, including those caused by Salmonella species. These aneurysms can progress rapidly and are associated with high mortality. A 62-year-old man with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes mellitus presented to the hospital in septic shock.

Article Synopsis
- A case of cardiac tamponade caused by coronary artery injury is presented, highlighting its rarity as a complication following lobectomy for lung cancer.
- An 82-year-old man underwent left upper lobectomy, experienced a postoperative shock due to cardiac tamponade, and was found to have a lacerated coronary artery; he ultimately died from complications.
- The study suggests that while intraoperative injury to the heart is a possibility, the injury may have been caused by staples used during surgery, which could have penetrated the pericardium as the lung expanded post-surgery.
Energy Expenditure in Critically Ill Patients with Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Intracerebral Hemorrhage, and Traumatic Brain Injury-A Prospective Observational Study.

Background: Energy expenditure (EE) in patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) may differ from other intracranial pathologies, such as intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) or traumatic brain injury (TBI), due to an activation of the sympathetic nervous system. Indirect calorimetry (IC) is recommended, but is not always available. We study EE, catabolism, and metabolic stress in patients with SAH, TBI, ICH, and sepsis as controls.
