Soft tissue ultrasound (ST-USS) has been shown to be of utmost importance in assessing patients with soft tissue infections in the emergency department or critical care unit. It aids in guiding the management of soft tissue infection based on the sonographic findings.

Retrospective Data Collection

AbstractObjectivesTo report clinical data on maternal outcome, mode of delivery and immediate neonatal outcome in women infected with COVID-19.MethodsRetrospective data collection.ResultsA total of 8.6% of the total population of hospitalised SARS-CoV-2 positive pregnant women were admitted to a critical care unit. The premature birth rate for births before 34+0 weeks of gestation among pregnant women who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 was 7.1%. One newborn (3.6%) tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 two days after birth and showed symptoms.ConclusionsPregnant women with COVID-19 seem to be at higher risk of invasive ventilation, admission to a critical care unit and preterm birth, and should therefore be considered a high-risk-population.

Rehabilitation Needs

Novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in huge numbers of critically ill patients. This study describes the inpatient recovery and rehabilitation needs of patients admitted with COVID-19 to the critical care unit of a 400 bedded general hospital in London, United Kingdom. The rehabilitation needs of our sample were considerable. It is recommended that the increase demand on allied health professionals capacity demonstrated is considered in future COVID-19-related workforce-planning.

ABSTRACT:Worldwide, human rabies is prevalent where there is endemic dog rabies, but the disease may present unexpectedly in critical care units when suggestive clinical features have passed. In North America transmission from bats is most common and there is often no history of a bat bite or even contact with bats. Laboratory diagnostic evaluation for rabies includes serology plus skin biopsy, cerebrospinal fluid, and saliva specimens for rabies virus antigen and/or RNA detection. Rare patients have survived rabies, and most received rabies vaccine prior to the onset of illness. Therapeutic coma (midazolam and phenobarbital), ketamine, and antiviral therapies (dubbed the "Milwaukee Protocol") were given to a rabies survivor, but this therapy was likely not directly responsible for the favorable outcome. There have been many subsequent failures of similar therapeutic approaches. There is no scientific rationale for the use of therapeutic coma in human rabies. New approaches to treating human rabies need to be developed.
