Article Abstract
Background: In individuals with sepsis, the most frequent neurological consequence is sepsis-associated delirium (SAD). SAD can cause long-term neuropsychiatric aftereffects such as anxiety disorders and cognitive impairment in addition to dramatically raising death rates in the intensive care unit (ICU) and during hospital stays. However, the correlation between nutritional status and SAD in patients with sepsis remains undefined.
Aim: To examine the correlation between malnutrition and the incidence of SAD in sepsis patients.
Study Design: This research performed a retrospective analysis of adult patients with sepsis who were admitted to the ICU for the initial time. It investigated the association between malnutrition and delirium using logistic regression analysis. It employed propensity score matching, conducted stratified analysis and utilised E-value for sensitivity analysis.
Results: This study included 25 716 patients, of whom 3132 were classified as malnourished and 22 584 were non-malnourished. The malnourished cohort demonstrated a twofold increased risk of delirium relative to the non-malnourished cohort (26.56% vs. 12.90%). Multifactorial logistic regression demonstrated a significant positive correlation between malnutrition and the occurrence of delirium in sepsis patients within a fully adjusted model (odds ratio [OR] = 2.07, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.88-2.29). The findings remained consistent following a series of sensitivity analyses.
Conclusion: Malnutrition is strongly correlated with the occurrence of delirium in patients with sepsis. The significance of addressing malnutrition in sepsis patients within the ICU warrants attention.
Relevance To Clinical Practice: ICU nurses should prioritise the assessment of malnutrition, particularly among patients with sepsis. Timely identification and nutritional intervention in these patients may reduce care costs and lower the risk of delirium.

Screening of Relevant Genes and Signalling Pathways Affecting Adult Urosepsis: A Bioinformatic Analysis.
Urol J

Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University, Emergency Department, Nantong, 226000, Jiangsu, China.
Purpose: Urosepsis, a condition caused by a urinary tract infection spreading to the bloodstream, has a complex epigenetic behavior in its cellular and molecular pathophysiology. The objective of this study was to identify relevant genes and signaling pathways in adult urosepsis through a bioinformatic analysis of differentially expressed genes (DEGs).
Materials And Methods: In this in-silico study, the GSE69528 dataset, containing 138 total RNA blood samples from patients with sepsis and uninfected controls, was obtained from the Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) database.

BackgroundLaparoscopic colectomy is standard for uncomplicated diverticulitis (UD) but has higher conversion and morbidity rates in complicated diverticulitis (CD). Robotic colectomy (RC) is increasingly used for both UD and CD. This study compared outcomes of RC for CD and UD and evaluated factors contributing to adverse outcomes.

Topic Importance: Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) is a heterogeneous cardiovascular dysfunction associated with sepsis and septic shock. While traditionally defined by reversible left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction, recent evidence has revealed a broader spectrum, including LV diastolic dysfunction, hyperdynamic LV systolic states, and right ventricular (RV) injury, occurring independently or in combination. Despite their prognostic significance, these phenotypes remain underrecognized and understudied.
