The aim of this study was to assess whether high sensitivity troponin (hs-cTnI) is associated with 1 year mortality in critical care (CC). One year mortality data were obtained from NHS Digital for a consecutive cohort of patients admitted to general CC unit (GCCU) and neuroscience CC unit (NCCU) who had hs-cTnI tests performed throughout their CC admission, regardless of whether the test was clinically indicated. Cox proportional hazards were used to estimate the risk of 1-year mortality. A landmark analysis was undertaken to assess whether any relationship at 1 year was driven by mortality within the first 30 days. A total of 1033 consecutive patients were included. At 1 year 254 (24.6%) patients had died. The admission log(10)hs-cTnI concentration in the entire cohort (HR 1.35 (95% CI 1.05-1.75) = 0.009 with a bootstrap of 1000 samples) was independently associated with 1 year mortality. On landmark analysis the association with 1 year mortality was driven by 30 day mortality. These results indicate that admission hs-cTnI concentration is independently associated with 1 year mortality in CC and this relationship may be driven by differences in mortality at 30 days.

Importance: It remains unknown whether outcomes of the Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves 3 (PARTNER 3) and Evolut Low Risk trials are comparable with surgical outcomes in nontrial settings, considering the added risk of concomitant cardiac operations.
Objective: To compare 30-day mortality and stroke incidences of patients in the surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) arm of low-risk trials with those of similar patients in the US Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database (STS ACSD).
Design, Setting, And Participants: A cross-sectional sampling study was conducted of adults in the STS ACSD with severe aortic stenosis at low surgical risk for AVR who underwent SAVR during the years low-risk AVR trials (PARTNER 3 and Evolut Low Risk) were enrolling (calendar years 2016-2018).

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD, formerly known as NAFLD) is a major driver of cirrhosis and liver-related mortality. However, therapeutic options for MASLD, including prevention of liver steatosis, are limited. We previously described that vasoactive intestinal peptide-producing neurons (VIP-neurons) regulate the efficiency of intestinal dietary fat absorption and IL-22 production by type 3 innate lymphoid cells (ILC3) in the intestine.

We tested the hypothesis that disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) predicts a poor prognosis in patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) treated with veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO). Fifty-seven patients with cardiogenic OHCA who immediately underwent VA-ECMO upon admission to the emergency department were divided into 27 non-DIC and 30 DIC patients. DIC scores were calculated on admission and 24 h later (day 1).

It was previously found that the severity of LPS-induced systemic inflammatory response (SIRS) in rats is determined by resistance to hypoxia and the level of Hif1a expression. Individual differences in the level of Hif1a and NFkb expression in the liver were studied in relation to the severity of inflammatory and immune reactions in LPS-induced SIRS in rats without previous placement in a ventilated decompression chamber. During the early periods after SIRS modeling, rats with high expression of the Hif1a and NFkb genes associated with increased expression of pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines are identified.

Background: Pancreatic surgery is still associated with significant morbidity. In a simultaneously increasingly ageing population with elevated morbidity, the risk stratification and indications for surgery are of particular importance.
Objective: Assessment of the impact of multimorbidity of patients on the postoperative outcome after pancreatic surgery.
