An experience of treatment of 133 patients with severe bums was analyzed. Bleedings from the upper parts of the gastrointestinal tract were diagnosed in 16 patients in different terms since their admission to the hospital. At the moment of carrying out of the endoscopic research all bleedings were considered as taking place. Statistically significant risk factors of the development of gastroduodenal bleedings were considered to be an alcoholic intoxication at the moment of injury and insufficient fluid therapy during the pre-admission stage and young age of the patients. The antisecretory therapy showed that the detection of risk factors in question should be regarded as an indication to the reinforced regime of preventive measures for gastroduodenal injuries.

Department of Gastroenterology, The Affiliated People's Hospital of Ningbo University, Ningbo, China.
Rationale: Gastric antral vascular ectasia (GAVE) is a rare acquired lesion characterized by vascular dilation in the gastric antrum, frequently results in occult or overt gastrointestinal bleeding. Endoscopic intervention remains the cornerstone of therapy. Argon plasma coagulation was previously considered a first treatment option.

Objective: Inflammation contributes to morbidity following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). The authors of this study evaluate how applying noninvasive transauricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) can target this deleterious inflammatory response following SAH and reduce the rate of radiographic vasospasm.
Methods: In this prospective, triple-blinded, randomized controlled trial, 27 patients were randomized to taVNS or sham stimulation.
Impact of attaining an aggressive PK/PD target with continuous infusion beta-lactams on the clinical efficacy of targeted therapy of early post-transplant Gram-negative infections in critically ill OLT recipients. An interim analysis of a 3-year prospective, observational, study.
J Infect Dis

Department of Medical and Surgical Sciences, Alma Mater Studiorum, University of Bologna, Italy.
Background: To assess the impact of attaining aggressive beta-lactam pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) targets on clinical efficacy in critical orthotopic liver transplant (OLT) recipients with documented early Gram-negative infections.
Methods: OLT recipients admitted to the post-transplant ICU between June 2021 and May 2024 having documented Gram-negative infections treated with targeted therapy continuous infusion (CI) beta-lactams, and undergoing therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM)-guided beta-lactam dosing adjustment in the first 72 hours were prospectively enrolled. Free steady-state concentrations (fCss) of beta-lactams (BL) and/or of beta-lactamase inhibitors (BLI) were calculated, and aggressive PK/PD target attainment was measured.
Mucosal leishmaniasis is associated with the Leishmania RNA virus and inappropriate cutaneous leishmaniasis treatment.
PLoS One
January 2025
Departamento de Salud Pública, Facultad de Medicina, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Bogotá, Colombia.
Background: Mucosal leishmaniasis (ML) is a severe clinical form of leishmaniasis that is characterized by the destruction of the nasal and/or the oral mucosae and appears as a late complication in 5% to 10% of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) cases produced by species belonging to Leishmania (Viannia) subgenus. Some strains of Leishmania spp. carry an RNA virus known as Leishmania RNA virus (LRV) that may contribute to the appearance of ML.
