Objective: To investigate a cohort of sepsis survivors readmitted within 30 days postdischarge, explore the one-year mortality rate based on different causes of readmission and identify factors associated with increased one-year mortality risk among all sepsis survivors readmitted within this timeframe.
Methods: This was a single-center retrospective cohort study involving adult sepsis survivors who were readmitted within 30 days of discharge. Patients were categorized into 3 groups based on the cause of readmission: same-source infectious readmission, different-source infectious readmission, and noninfectious readmission.

The methicillin-resistant (MRSA) accounts for 20% to 40% of all hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) cases with mortality rates up to 55%. Prompt and accurate diagnosis is essential, especially in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. Nasal MRSA polymerase chain reaction (PCR) diagnostic utility evidence is conflicting in the literature for HAP due to a low number of HAP patients included in prior studies or due to the lack of high-yield gold standard cultures defined for comparisons.

Aim: To assess whether there were differences in resuscitation efforts and outcomes for medical intensive care unit (MICU) in-hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) during the COVID-19 pandemic when compared to pre-pandemic.
Methods: Comparing COVID-19 MICU-IHCA patients (03/2020 to 10/2020) to non-COVID-19 MICU IHCA (01/2014 to 12/2018) at Clevleand Clinic Health System (CCHS) of NE Ohio. Propensity score matching analysis (PSMA) was used to create comparable groups.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a very common complication of coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) because of the acquired hypercoagulability in these patients. Cardiovascular thromboembolism (CTE) is another complication that is relatively rare yet catastrophic. We present two cases of COVID-19 which were complicated by CTE.

Purpose Of Review: Brain metastases are frequent complication of lung cancer and are associated with poor prognosis. Patients with brain metastases secondary to lung cancer have traditionally been managed with surgery and radiation with limited role for systemic chemotherapy. In the past decade, however, this paradigm has shifted largely due to the advent of targeted therapies and immunotherapies, both of which have demonstrated efficacy in the treatment of brain metastases and extracranial disease.

Purpose Of The Review: Brain metastasis is a common complication of advanced malignancies, especially, lung cancer, breast cancer, renal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Traditionally surgery, when indicated, and radiation therapy, either as whole-brain radiation therapy or stereotactic radiosurgery, constituted the major treatment options for brain metastases. Until recently, most of the systemic chemotherapy agents had limited activity for brain metastases.

There is often a rich but untold history of events that occur and relationships that form before a practice-based research network (PBRN) is launched. This is particularly the case in PBRNs that are community based and comprise partnerships outside of the health care system. In this article we summarize an organizational "prenatal history" before the birth of a PBRN devoted to people with developmental disabilities.

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) mimics acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We postulated that ventricular dysfunction in TC in the absence of significant myocardial necrosis would produce higher B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP)/troponin T (TnT) and BNP/creatine kinase MB fraction (CKMB) ratios than in AMI.
Methods And Results: We studied 58 consecutive TC (age 65.

Dietary factors that influence lipid levels include modification of nutritional components, consumption of specific foods, use of food additives and supplements, and major dietary approaches. The most beneficial changes result from reducing intake of saturated and trans fats; increasing intake of polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats; fortifying foods with plant stanols or sterols; isocalorically adding tree nuts to the diet; consuming one or two alcoholic drinks per day; and adopting a Portfolio, Mediterranean, low-carbohydrate, or low-fat diet. Smaller but still beneficial effects result from reducing intake of dietary cholesterol, increasing intake of soluble fiber and soy protein, and eating fatty marine fish or taking marine-derived omega-3 fatty acid supplements.
