Diagnosis and Treatment of Vascular Air Embolism
TL;DR: A comprehensive review of the etiology and diagnosis of vascular air embolism, including approaches to prevention and management based on experimental and clinical data is presented and this compendium of information will permit the healthcare professional to rapidly assess the relative risk of vascularAir Embolism and implement monitoring and treatment strategies appropriate for the planned invasive procedure.
Ventilator-associated pneumonia in the ICU
TL;DR: Ventilator-associated pneumonia poses grave implications in endotracheally intubated adult patients in ICUs worldwide and leads to increased adverse outcomes and healthcare costs.
Anticonvulsant effect of anterior thalamic high frequency electrical stimulation in the rat
TL;DR: Experimental support is provided for the concept that this thalamic region may be a promising target for focal stimulation to treat intractable seizures in humans and highlights the role of AN in mediating the expression of seizures.

Impact of a neuroscience intensive care unit on neurosurgical patient outcomes and cost of care: evidence-based support for an intensivist-directed specialty ICU model of care.
TL;DR: The data suggest that a neuroscience specialty ICU arena staffed by specialty-trained intensivists and nurses is beneficial, and patients treated in the NSICU had shorter hospital stays and lower total costs of care than a national benchmark.
