Emerging Nano-Immunotherapeutic Approaches to Glioma

Jin Nan, Wei Yang, Yujie Xie, Meihua Yu, Yu Chen, Jun Zhang

Summary: Glioma is a highly invasive and frequently occurring type of brain malignancy in the central nervous system. Despite advances in diagnosis and therapeutic approaches, the prognosis for glioma patients is often poor. The efficacy of immunotherapy for glioma is disappointing due to local immune resistance, blood-brain barrier (BBB), and immunologically specialized glioma microenvironment. However, the emergence of nanoengineered immunotherapeutics has transformed the modalities in glioma immunotherapy, aiding in crossing the BBB and enhancing tumor-infiltrating effector immune cells against glioma.

Recent approaches and advanced wastewater treatment technologies for mitigating emerging microplastics contamination-A critical review

Radhakrishnan Yedhu Krishnan, Sivasubramanian Manikandan, Ramasamy Subbaiya, Natchimuthu Karmegam, Woong Kim, Muthusamy Govarthanan

Summary: Microplastics are acknowledged as an emerging pollutant and are widely present in the air, soil, and especially the aquatic ecosystem. Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are seen as the last defense against microplastics entering the environment. However, due to insufficient containment during water treatment, microplastics are discharged into aquatic bodies in large quantities, making WWTPs a significant source of microplastics release. Assessing the presence and behavior of microplastics in WWTPs is crucial for their control.

Palliative and Critical Care: Their Convergence in the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit

Siti Nur Hanim Buang, Sin Wee Loh, Yee Hui Mok, Jan Hau Lee, Yoke Hwee Chan

Summary: Palliative care is an important component of critical care practice for pediatric patients facing life-threatening illness. Integrating palliative care early alongside disease-directed and curative therapies can effectively improve patients' quality of life. A multidisciplinary approach, effective communication, and family support are key in integrating palliative care. This narrative review aims to evaluate the integration of palliative care in pediatric critical care and its impact on patient- and family-centered outcomes.

Emerging point-of-care technologies for anemia detection

Ran An, Yuning Huang, Yuncheng Man, Russell W. Valentine, Erdem Kucukal, Utku Goreke, Zoe Sekyonda, Connie Piccone, Amma Owusu-Ansah, Sanjay Ahuja, Jane A. Little, Umut A. Gurkan

Summary: Anemia, affecting about 25% of the world's population, has the heaviest burden on women and children, leading to impaired cognitive development and early mortality. It can be caused by various factors, and early detection and treatment are crucial. In low- and middle-income countries, technical and cost challenges hinder the widespread access to point-of-care screening and monitoring for anemia.

Provision of critical care for the elderly in Europe: a retrospective comparison of national healthcare frameworks in intensive care units

Bernhard Wernly, Michael Beil, Raphael Romano Bruno, Stephan Binneboessel, Malte Kelm, Sviri Sigal, Peter Vernon van Heerden, Ariane Boumendil, Antonio Artigas, Maurizio Cecconi, Brian Marsh, Rui Moreno, Sandra Oeyen, Bernardo Bollen Pinto, Wojciech Szczeklik, Susannah Leaver, Sten Mikael Walther, Joerg C. Schefold, Michael Joannidis, Jesper Fjolner, Tilemachos Zafeiridis, Dylan de Lange, Bertrand Guidet, Hans Flaatten, Christian Jung

Summary: In Europe, there are two different healthcare organisation systems: tax-based healthcare system (THS) and social health insurance system (SHI). The characteristics, treatment, and mortality of critically ill older patients in the intensive care unit (ICU) differ between THS and SHI. Patients in SHI are older, sicker, and frailer, with higher ICU mortality but similar 30-day mortality compared to THS. The trend towards ICU excess mortality in SHI may result from a more liberal admission policy and increased treatment limitations.

Sepsis and antibiotics: When should we deploy a parachute?

Sharon Einav, Marc Leone, Ignacio Martin-Loeches

Summary: Guidelines recommend early administration of antimicrobial therapy in sepsis and septic shock, based on observational studies suggesting improved outcomes. However, front-line physicians face pressure to quickly decide on antibiotic use in uncertain sepsis cases. Overuse of antibiotics contributes to the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, and this article discusses the situation of physicians criticized for unnecessary or delayed antibiotic use and offers options to assist bedside decision-making.

Summary: The objective of this study was to compare the differences in antimicrobial use between COVID-19 and non-COVID-19 patients, and to compare two commonly used metrics for antimicrobial use: Defined Daily Dose (DDD) and Days of Therapy (DOT). The study found that COVID-19 patients had a higher use of broad-spectrum antimicrobials in the ICU, and overall, the DDD metric overestimated antimicrobial use compared with the DOT metric.

The Role of Biomarkers in Influenza and COVID-19 Community-Acquired Pneumonia in Adults

Raquel Carbonell, Gerard Moreno, Ignacio Martin-Loeches, Maria Bodi, Alejandro Rodriguez

Summary: Pneumonia is a significant global problem, with viruses being a common cause and mixed viral and bacterial pneumonia posing a risk for severe disease. Biomarkers, such as procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP), can provide valuable information for early diagnosis and prognosis. This review analyzes the available evidence and provides recommendations for the use of biomarkers in influenza and SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. The authors propose a practical PCT algorithm for guiding antibiotic initiation in these cases.

Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis: Not Only a Disease Affecting Immunosuppressed Patients

Rafael Zaragoza, Jordi Sole-Violan, Rachel Cusack, Alejandro Rodriguez, Luis Felipe Reyes, Ignacio Martin-Loeches

Summary: Fungal infections in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) have become a common threat due to changes in patient profiles and increased use of immunomodulatory agents. The use of corticosteroids is associated with a higher incidence of Invasive Pulmonary Aspergillosis (IPA) in critically ill patients. Different diagnosis criteria and more aggressive acquisition of samples through invasive respiratory examinations contribute to the complexity of understanding current IPA data.

Summary: This study compared the treatment outcomes of two drugs in critically ill patients with ventilated hospital-acquired/ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia. The results showed that ceftolozane/tazobactam was as effective as meropenem in treating this condition, indicating that both agents can be used in critically ill patients.

Multimodal strategy to counteract vasodilation in septic shock

Marc Leone, Sharon Einav, Elio Antonucci, Francois Depret, Ines Lakbar, Ignacio Martin-Loeches, Patrick M. Wieruszewski, Sheila Nainan Myatra, Ashish K. Khanna

Summary: Early initiation of multimodal treatment strategy for vasopressors in septic shock is important to reduce delays in organ perfusion and mitigate side effects. This review summarizes the pathophysiology of vasodilation, physiological response, and different drugs used in this situation. Norepinephrine is usually the first-line vasopressor, but sparing it through the use of adrenergic, vasopressinergic, and renin-angiotensin systems, as well as endothelial reactivity optimization with methylene blue, is discussed. A blueprint for future studies on vasopressor selection and timing in septic shock is outlined.

Montini, Anne Brignier, Matthias Kochanek, Joan Cid, Chiara Robba, Ignacio Martin-Loeches, Marlies P. Ostermann, Nicole Juffermans

Summary: Therapeutic plasma exchange (TPE) is a method of removing pathological factors or replenishing deficient factors by separating plasma from blood cells. Despite a good theoretical rationale and biological plausibility, the use of TPE in the ICU setting has not been extensively studied. A group of global experts utilized the Delphi method to identify key research questions and gaps in knowledge related to TPE in critically ill patients, aiming to stimulate future research and clinical applications.

Summary: The study aimed to assess the relationship between renal function and the efficacy/safety of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam for the treatment of HABP/VABP. The results showed that the efficacy of imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam was comparable to piperacillin/tazobactam for participants with various baseline renal functions. However, for participants with normal renal function or CLCR >= 250ml/min, imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam had a higher clinical response rate.
