This narrative review summarizes the epidemiology, clinical features, and selected management of severe systemic autoimmune diseases, including connective tissue diseases and vasculitides, within the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Admissions are complex, often triggered by disease flare-ups or organ failure, and are associated with high mortality rates.
This volume provides a user-friendly and case-based approach to the practical applications of bedside ultrasound in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). It is designed to help residents and fellows learn how to use ultrasound as an extension of the physical exam for rapid assessment of critically ill patients, thereby aiming to improve patient outcome through education and innovation.
A reference guide detailing standardized protocols and management procedures for various clinical scenarios encountered within the Intensive Care Unit (ICU).
A systematic review and meta-analysis evaluating the clinical efficacy and safety of hypertonic saline (HTS) versus other intracranial-pressure-lowering agents for patients with acute traumatic brain injury (TBI). The study concluded that there was no significant evidence of an effect of HTS on clinically important outcomes (GOS score or mortality), but it was associated with adverse hypernatremia.

This book covers the basic pathophysiology of ocular angiogenesis and strategies for inhibition. It discusses the “Principles” of anti-angiogenic therapy, pre-clinical studies, future drugs, drug delivery, and the “Practice” of the therapy in many ocular diseases, including macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinal vascular occlusion, and diabetic macular edema. Ocular angiogenesis is the major cause of vision loss in many neovascular eye diseases, and this text is aimed at vision researchers and clinician scientists.
