Shock Severity Classification and Mortality in Adults With Cardiac, Medical, Surgical, and Neurological Critical Illness.
To evaluate whether the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) Shock Classification could perform risk stratification in a mixed cohort of intensive care unit (ICU) patients, similar to its validation in patients with acute cardiac disease. ⋯ The SCAI Shock Classification provided incremental mortality risk stratification beyond established prognostic markers across the spectrum of medical and surgical critical illness, proving utility outside its original intent.

Hospital Outcomes in Medical Patients With Alcohol-Related and Non-Alcohol-Related Wernicke Encephalopathy.
To conduct a nationwide retrospective cohort study to assess trends and hospitalization-associated outcomes in patients with Wernicke encephalopathy. ⋯ In this Swiss nationwide cohort study, Wernicke encephalopathy was a rare but serious cause for hospitalization and mainly alcohol-related. Patients with alcohol-related Wernicke encephalopathy had lower risks of in-hospital mortality but were more likely to develop Korsakoff syndrome and be readmitted to the hospital.

ReviewAcute and Complicated Inflammatory Pericarditis: A Guide to Contemporary Practice.
Inflammatory disease of the pericardium represents a relatively common presentation, especially among the young. For the most part, inflammatory pericardial disease can be expeditiously and effectively managed without significant sequelae. ⋯ During the past decade, there have been great strides made in developing an evidence-based approach to management of inflammatory pericardial disease, the result of which has been the development of (1) a systematic, protocoled approach to initial care; (2) targeted therapeutics; and (3) specialized, collaborative, and integrated care pathways. Herein we present a review of the current state of the art as it pertains to the diagnostic evaluation and therapeutic considerations in inflammatory pericardial disease with a focus on acute and complicated pericarditis.
