The number of septic and aseptic total hip arthroplasty (THA) revisions will increase, which involves a greater financial burden. We here provide a retrospective consecutive analysis of the major variable direct costs involved in revision THA for aseptic and septic failure. A total of 144 patients (30 septic, 114 aseptic) treated between January 1, 2009 and March 31, 2012 was included. The management of septic THA loosening is much more expensive than that of aseptic loosening ($14,379.8 vs. $5,487.4). This difference is mainly attributable to the two-stage exchange technique used for septic failure (hospital stay: 40.2 vs. 15.6 days) and significantly higher implant costs ($3,930.9 vs. $2,298.2). The septic implantation part is on average $3,384.6 more expensive than aseptic procedures (P < .001).

Clinical Department of Anesthesiology and Intensive Therapy, Wroclaw Medical University, Borowska 213, 50-556 Wroclaw, Poland.
Background: This study compares organ dysfunction, treatment strategies, and unfavorable outcome rates between pregnant and nonpregnant women admitted to the ICU with severe COVID-19, highlighting the increased susceptibility of pregnant women to respiratory infections due to physiological changes.
Methods: A retrospective, age-matched study was conducted at a referral center specializing in critical care for pregnant women. Data from 14 pregnant/postpartum and 11 nonpregnant women were analyzed at ICU admission and on days 3, 5, and 7.

This case report highlights the use of continuous infusion of meropenem in a 42-year-old septic female patient with periprosthetic infection and end-stage renal disease receiving prolonged intermittent renal replacement therapy (PIRRT). Antibiotic infusion in patients receiving renal replacement therapy has its own peculiarities. There are many studies on the optimal dosing regimen for meropenem in renal dysfunction, but studies on the optimal infusion duration in these patients are limited.

Thrombocytopenia frequently occurs in patients before, during, and after admission to Pediatric Intensive Care Units (PICUs). In critically ill children, it is often due to multifactorial causes and can be a sign of significant organ dysfunction. This review summarizes the potential causes/mechanisms of thrombocytopenia in acutely ill children, their identification, and treatments, with special attention paid to septic patients.

Background: Sepsis is a severe condition causing organ failure due to an abnormal immune reaction to infection, characterized by ongoing excessive inflammation and immune system issues. Osteopontin (OPN) is secreted by various cells and plays a crucial role in inflammatory responses and immune regulation. Nonetheless, the precise function of OPN in sepsis remains to be elucidated.

Background: Neonatal sepsis remains one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality among neonates in developing countries. It can cause severe morbidities and sequelae, even though patients survive. Prolonged recovery time of neonatal sepsis leads to hospitalization, increased cost of treatments, antimicrobial resistance, disseminated intravascular coagulation, respiratory failure, septic shock, brain lesions, renal failure, and cardiovascular dysfunction, and eventually death.
