We report the outcomes of patients with haematological malignancies admitted to ICUs and define pre-ICU prognostic factors for in-hospital mortality. In a retrospective, single-center study, we included all patients with haematologic malignancies admitted to ICUs between 2009 and 2019. The primary outcome was in-hospital mortality. One hundred and forty-four patients with hematologic malignancies were admitted to ICUs during the study period. Fifteen (10.4%) were in remission, 36 (25.0%) were in remission after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Acute Leukemias and aggressive lymphomas were the most common diagnoses, occurring in 34.7%. The in-hospital mortality was 49%. The main predictors for in-hospital mortality were age >65 years, post allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, non-remission, respiratory rate >22 bpm, bilirubin >2 mg/dl, PH< 7.35, and time from hospital admission to ICU transfer ≥3 days. In-hospital mortality of patients with hematologic malignancies admitted to ICU was 49%. We identified pre-ICU parameters that predict in-hospital mortality.

Background: The number of people with dementia (PWD) is increasing worldwide, and especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC). Dementia's burden extends beyond mortality and healthcare costs. In LMIC, dementia indirect costs are proportionally higher.

Background: Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is associated with significant mortality and morbidity. The impact of SAH on human glymphatic function remains unknown.
Methods: This prospective, controlled study investigated whether human glymphatic function is altered after SAH, how it differs over time, and possible underlying mechanisms.

Background: The United Network of Organ Sharing made changes to the priority for allocation of hearts for transplantation (HT) in 2016 for pediatric patients and 2018 for adult patients. Although recent work has evaluated the impact of the revised allocation systems on mechanical circulatory support practices and waitlist outcomes, there are limited data that focus more specifically on the impact of the allocation changes on patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) or cardiomyopathy and how these relationships might differ in pediatric and adult patients.
Methods: The United Network of Organ Sharing database was queried for pediatric (<18 years of age) and adult (18-50 years of age) patients with a CHD or cardiomyopathy diagnosis listed for HT.

Introduction: Patients with severe cognitive impairment, with the progression of the disease, show behavioral impairments, loss of functionality and, in many cases, swallowing changes (dysphagia). Dysphagia comes with serious complications that can cause health damage, such as malnutrition, dehydration and serious lung damage secondary to aspirations. Eating process goes beyond nutritional intake, as it has a social, cultural, behavioral, physical and cognitive component.

Persons living with dementia (PLWD) are twice as likely to use the emergency department (ED) and 1.5 times more likely to have an avoidable ED visit than elders without dementia. PLWD have greater comorbidity, incur higher charges, are admitted to hospitals at higher rates, return to EDs at higher rates, and have higher mortality after an ED visit than patients without dementia.
