Introduction: In 1960, Lazorthes and Campman introduced the concept of a which gained prominence in the field of traumatic brain injury (TBI), where it relates to neurological deterioration on the third day after injury. However, evidence regarding this phenomenon remains scarce.
Research Question: This study aimed to analyze posttraumatic intracranial pressure (ICP) patterns in a large European cohort to investigate the existence of a third-day crisis and its impact on 12-month functional outcomes.
Materials And Methods: Data were analyzed from the prospective Collaborative European Neurotrauma Effectiveness Research in Traumatic Brain Injury (CENTER-TBI) study. Patients with TBI admitted to ICUs in 65 European centers who received ICP monitoring were included. ICP measurements, averaged per day, were analyzed using mixed models. The association between ICP peak timing and functional outcome was examined with multivariable logistic regression.
Results: The study included 886 patients. Average ICP trajectories showed no significant changes over the first seven days post-injury, without elevation around the third day. Among 563 patients with ICP >20 during the first week, 45% reached their highest ICP after the third day. Elevated ICP (>20 mmHg) during the first week was associated with unfavorable 12-month outcomes, but the timing of ICP peak was not linked to functional outcomes.
Discussion And Conclusion: This multicenter study challenges the 'crisis of the third day' concept. No distinct ICP or TIL elevations were observed around the third day. Elevated ICP remains a prognostic indicator, but ICP peak timing does not correlate with functional outcomes.

Thermal burns of the larynx are uncommon but can lead to serious upper airway obstruction due to edema and bleeding, especially in children who may struggle to communicate their symptoms effectively. This report presents the case of a one-year-and-seven-month-old boy who developed stridor and respiratory distress after eating a heated potato, which ultimately required tracheal intubation. The initial evaluation suggested foreign body aspiration; however, laryngoscopy confirmed significant arytenoid swelling and airway narrowing due to thermal burns.

Background And Aims: For the aggressive treatment of postoperative pain, nonpharmacological methods (NPMs) are gaining importance complementary to routine multimodal pain management. The primary aim of the study was to assess the incidence of use of NPMs in our hospital. Secondary objectives were to correlate the pain scores, patient satisfaction, and percentage of time the patient was in severe pain within 72 h postsurgery with the use of NPMs when in pain/not in pain.

Purpose: Hemorrhagic transformation (HT) is a severe complication in patients with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) undergoing intravenous thrombolysis therapy (IVT). Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) contributes to the development of AIS and the disruption of the blood-brain barrier. This study aims to investigate the relationship between EAT and the risk of HT, as well as functional outcomes, in AIS patients treated with IVT.
