Changes in Cerebral Oxygen Saturation Correlate with S100B in Infants Undergoing Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
The relationship of cerebral saturation measured by near-infrared spectroscopy with serum biomarker of brain injury S100B was investigated in infants undergoing cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass. ⋯ A wide cerebral arteriovenous difference measured by near-infrared spectroscopy during cardiopulmonary bypass is associated with increased serum S100B in the perioperative period and may be a modifiable risk factor for neurological injury.

For invasive thymoma, the optimal treatment method remains controversial. We present the case of a woman with a thymoma with pleural and pericardial dissemination who received multimodality therapy. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Rocio Carrera-Ceron, Juan Jacinto-Tinajero, Luis Marcelo Argote Greene, Patricio Santillán DohertyNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

Comparative Study
Improved consistency in interpretation and management of cardiovascular variables by intensive care staff using a computerised decision-support system.
To investigate the potential of a computerised decision-support system (CDSS) to improve consistency of haemodynamic evaluation and treatment suggestions by intensive care unit clinical staff with different levels of expertise and experience. ⋯ Use of a CDSS significantly improved the consistency between categories of clinical ICU staff in assessing the cardiovascular status and making management decisions in postoperative cardiac surgery patients.
