In the mammalian cardiovascular system, endothelial glycocalyx is a gel-like layer that covers the luminal surface of endothelial cells (ECs) and plays crucial roles in vascular homeostasis, permeability and leukocyte adhesion. Degradation of this structure occurs early in sepsis and becomes accordingly dysfunctional. In severe cases, it is not self-regulated by the organism.

High anion gap metabolic acidosis (HAGMA) is a common biochemical abnormality in hospitalized patients, often linked to conditions such as lactic acidosis, renal failure, or drug toxicity. A rare etiology, 5-oxoprolinuria, resulting from acetaminophen use, malnutrition, and sepsis, is increasingly recognized in critically ill patients. We report a 29-year-old male with a history of intellectual disability and normal baseline kidney function who was admitted with acute necrotizing pancreatitis and developed severe metabolic acidosis and acute kidney injury (AKI).

Sepsis-Associated Cardiomyopathy: Long-Term Prognosis, Management, and Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy.

Purpose Of Review: To explore the definitions of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy and how that impacts interpretation of the available data and considerations of long-term prognosis and management.

Recent Findings: The field of sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy has been hampered by lack of consensus about its proper definition, with a great deal of heterogeneity in clinical trial data in both individual studies and meta-analyses and consequent disparity of estimates of incidence, prognosis, and clinical significance. New diagnostic techniques, while potentially shedding light on pathophysiology, have only exacerbated these challenges.

The NRCS-A strain has emerged as a global cause of late-onset sepsis associated with outbreaks in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) whose transmission is incompletely understood. Demographic and clinical data for 45 neonates with and 90 with other coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) isolated from sterile sites were reviewed, and clinical significance was determined. isolated from 27 neonates at 2 hospitals between 2017 and 2022 underwent long-read (ONT) (=27) and short-read (Illumina) sequencing (=18).

We report the case of a 72-year-old woman who was admitted following a fall and sustained a right neck of femur fracture. Prior to this admission, she was undergoing chemotherapy for lung cancer. Upon this admission, it was noted that she had developed neutropenic sepsis.
