This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram based on lymphocyte subtyping and clinical factors for the early and rapid prediction of Intra-abdominal candidiasis (IAC) in septic patients. A prospective cohort study of 633 consecutive patients diagnosed with sepsis and intra-abdominal infection (IAI) was performed. We assessed the clinical characteristics and lymphocyte subsets at the onset of IAI.

Sepsis remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide due to its rapid progression and heterogeneous nature. This review explores the potential of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to transform sepsis management, from early detection to personalized treatment and real-time monitoring. AI, particularly through machine learning (ML) techniques such as random forest models and deep learning algorithms, has shown promise in analyzing electronic health record (EHR) data to identify patterns that enable early sepsis detection.

Introduction: Ankylosing spondylitis (AS), a chronic inflammatory spondyloarthropathy affecting the spine, progressively leads to increased spinal stiffness. This condition increases the risk of spine fractures in patients, even from trivial injuries. The process of slow bone formation within the ligaments of the spine and the fusion of the spinal diarthrosis contribute to the most prominent symptom of progressive stiffness of joints, predominantly affecting the spine and sacroiliac joints.
