Acute respiratory failure occurs in less than 0.1% of pregnancies. Thyroid storm should be included in the differential diagnosis of possible causes of acute respiratory failure occurring immediately after delivery, and delivery is a high risk factor for thyroid storm in pregnant women with thyrotoxicosis.

Severe pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremia syndrome in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic: a novel survival case report.
BMC Pregnancy Childbirth

Department of Intensive Care Medicine, Army Medical Center of PLA, No. 10 Changjiang Road, Yuzhong District, Chongqing, 400010, People's Republic of China.
Background: Pregnancy-associated atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) is a form of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) caused by uncontrolled activation of the complement system during pregnancy or the postpartum period. In the intensive care unit, aHUS must be differentiated from sepsis-related multiple organ dysfunction, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and low platelet (HELLP) syndrome. Early recognition of aHUS is critical for effective treatment and improved prognosis.

Department of Emergency Medicine, Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Nashville, TN, USA.
Background: Understanding similarities and differences between hesitancy for influenza and COVID-19 vaccines could facilitate strategies to improve public receptivity toward vaccination.
Methods: We compared hesitancy for COVID-19 vaccines during the first 13 months of availability (January 2021-January 2022) with hesitancy for influenza vaccines in the 15 months prior to COVID-19 vaccine availability (October 2019-December 2020) among adults hospitalized with acute respiratory illness at 21 hospitals in the United States. We interviewed patients regarding vaccination status, willingness to be vaccinated, and perceptions of vaccine safety and efficacy.
Role of inflammasomes in acute respiratory distress syndrome.
Thorax
January 2025
Victor Phillip Dahdaleh Heart & Lung Research Institute, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, UK.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is present in >10% of all people admitted to critical care and is associated with severe morbidity and mortality. Despite more than half a century since its first description, no efficacious pharmacological therapies have been developed, and little progress has been made in improving clinical outcomes. Neutrophils are the principal drivers of ARDS, with their priming and subsequent aberrant downstream functions, including interleukin (IL) 1β and IL-18 secretion, central to the disease pathogenesis.
