Purpose: Prognostic impact of left ventricular diastolic dysfunction (LVDD) in septic shock patients has not been determined using current diagnostic guidelines. We assessed the relation between LVDD during the first 3 days following intensive care unit (ICU) admission for septic shock and Day-28 mortality.
Methods: This prospective, multicenter, observational study enrolled 402 patients (age: 63 ± 13 year; 59% male; SAPS II: 59 ± 20; SOFA: 9.4 ± 3.6; mechanical ventilation: 74%) with septic shock (Sepsis-3 definition). Patients were echocardiographically assessed within 12 h after admission (Day 1), on Day 2, Day 3, at ICU and at hospital discharge (or Day 28 whichever occurred first), using 2016 American-European guidelines.
Results: LVDD was present at least once between Day 1 and 3 in 304 patients (76%), and in 56% and 44% of patients at ICU discharge and on Day 28 (or hospital discharge), respectively (43% of patients with follow-up). Seventy-eight of 172 patients (45%) exhibited similar LV diastolic properties throughout the study period while 58 patients (34%) improved their LVDD at follow-up (lower grade: n = 9, regression: n = 49). Day-28 mortality was not statistically different between patients with and without LVDD (80/304 [26%] vs. 25/88 [28%]; OR: 0.900 [0.530-1.527]; p = 0.696). Similar results were obtained when adjusting the multivariate model on SAPSII or SOFA score on admission, together with fluid balance during the first three days of ICU stay (OR: 0.838 [0.471-1.491]: p = 0.547 and OR: 0.887 [0.513-1.534]: p = 0.668, respectively).
Conclusion: LVDD was highly prevalent in patients with septic shock but not associated with mortality. It appeared improving in one-third of survivors.

Background: This study aimed to investigate the association between serum heat shock protein 27 (HSP27) levels and 28-day mortality in patients with sepsis.
Methods: This retrospective study analyzed the clinical data of 76 septic patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU). Fifty non-septic ICU patients and 50 healthy individuals served as control groups.
Ghostly intrusion on a frightful Halloween night: a case report of dual valve endocarditis.

Multivalvular endocarditis (MVE) is an uncommon presentation and mostly involves mitral and aortic valves. Here, we present a case of an MVE with an unusual and bizarre presentation on a Halloween night with a massive degree of valve destruction and right- and left-side involvement requiring emergent surgery. A 51-year-old male patient with intravenous drug usage presented with anorexia, fever, and dyspnea, rapidly progressing to septic shock with multiorgan dysfunction.

Background/aims: Data from Asia regarding the short-term and long-term outcomes for acute severe ulcerative colitis (ASUC) are limited. We assessed the outcomes of ASUC, identified the risk factors for colectomy, and compared colectomy rates between the pre-biologics and post-biologics eras in Taiwan.
Methods: The patients with an ASUC diagnosis between January 2013 and March 2022 at 5 tertiary medical centers were retrospectively analyzed.

Objective: Maternal sepsis continues to be a maternal health problem associated with 75,000 deaths per year worldwide, representing a greater burden in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Although the Shock Index (SI) has been widely studied in postpartum hemorrhage and in non-obstetric populations, it has not yet been widely studied in sepsis. We aimed to identify the relationship between Shock Index and suspected sepsis in pregnant and postpartum patients to explore the use of Shock index in the context of maternal sepsis and its relationship with sepsis-related outcomes.
