Sepsis is a medical emergency that requires urgent intervention, but is commonly misdiagnosed or has delayed diagnosis due to both a clinical presentation that is often nonspecific and lack of a definitive diagnostic test. Providers are often tasked with making an empiric diagnosis and initiating treatment with incomplete evidence using only initial presentation and history as inputs. This can lead to a sepsis diagnosis being largely dependent upon clinical judgment, which can differ substantially between providers.
In this manuscript, we aim to explore two case presentations to fully characterize and evaluate the extent of variability in expert clinician assessments of sepsis prior to the availability of a sepsis diagnostic and discuss potential ways a specific rapid host response test might be used to increase consistency in the approach to sepsis diagnosis.

Although substantial progress has been made to prevent sudden cardiac death in repaired tetralogy of Fallot patients, ventricular arrhythmia and sudden death continue to be major causes of morbidity and mortality in these patients. Greater survival i...
The goal of the trial was to examine the effects of adding electromyographic biofeedback (EMG-BF) to the conventional program of physiotherapy after total hip arthroplasty (THA) on functional recovery and quality of life. The trial was designed as a...

Objective: This study investigated the relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and periodontitis, focusing on how periodontal health impacts COPD airflow limitation, exacerbations, and hospitalization. Background: Periodonti...
Background: This comprehensive review delves into the nuanced domain of arterial axis lesions associated with proximal humeral fractures, elucidating the intricate interplay between fracture patterns and vascular compromise. Proximal humeral fracture...
Due to the still large number of patients diagnosed with pelvic neoplasms (colorectal, gynecological, and urological) in advanced stages right from the initial diagnosis, surgery represents the mainstay of treatment, often implying wide, eventually m...
The optimal surveillance and management strategies for breast cancer patients receiving anthracycline therapy are limited by our incomplete understanding of the role of biomarkers heralding the onset of cardiotoxicity. The purpose of this study was t...
Orthognathic surgery plays a vital role in correcting various skeletal discrepancies of the maxillofacial region. Achieving optimal occlusion is a fundamental aspect of orthognathic surgery planning, as it directly influences postoperative outcomes a...
COVID-19 infection is associated with a variety of neurological manifestations. Since the inner ear is vulnerable to viruses, sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) has been reported to occur following SARS-CoV-2 infection. We present here two cases of pr...
Introduction: Precision medicine (PM) or personalized medicine is an innovative approach that aims to tailor disease prevention and treatment to consider the differences in people’s genes, environments, and lifestyles. Although many efforts hav...
