Cannes: Festival Vet Reveals 5 Most Anticipated Films (Video)
2:23 PM PDT 5/13/2013 by Scott Feinberg
Canal+'s Didier Allouch, who's been to the fest 26 times, on the selections that have him the most excited for 2013.
I recently sat down with my friend Didier Allouch, the Hollywood correspondent for the French premium pay television channel Canal+ and a veteran of the last 26 editions of the Cannes Film Festival, and asked him to identify the five films slated for the 2013 fest about which he is most excited.
Didier makes his selections -- which include a black-and-white film, a film without dialogue and a Japanese thriller -- and offers detailed explanations for them.
This is a must-see for festivalgoers hoping to weed through the hundreds of films that will be playing in and around town over the next two weeks.

As part of our recent APT research, ESG asked security professionals working at U.S.-based enterprise organizations (i.e. more than 1,000 employees) if APTs had caused their organizations to purchase and deploy new information security technologies. About 40% are doing so. What's interesting is the types of investments they are making in order to protect sensitive data. For example: * 54% of organizations that purchased new tools as a result of APTs are investing in data encryption technologies * 43% of organizations that purchased new tools as a result of APTs are investing in database security technologies * 35% of organizations that purchased new tools as a result of APTs are investing in DLP * 31% of organizations that purchased new tools as a result of APTs are investing in new types of user authentication or access controls Since the ultimate goal of APT attacks is data exfiltration, bolstering data security controls makes sense. A few other observations here: 1. I've been anticipating a steep increase in data encryption for a while and I think this is finally happening. Henceforth, data will increasingly be encrypted at the network, storage, file system, database, and application layer. Managing all of this encryption and associated certificate and key management is the next challenge. 2. Database security is often ignored but it seems like APTs have become a wake-up call. IBM tells me that its database security services and products (aka Guardium) are selling well. McAfee bought Sentrigo to take advantage of this trend. With continued growth in this area, Application Security, Inc. should be the next vendor to be gobbled up by a big guy like Check Point, HP, or Symantec. 3. Both McAfee and Symantec tell me that their DLP business is also red hot. RSA just made an announcement in this area as well. Likely that APTs along with the rise of mobile computing will continue to keep DLP sales momentum going. 4. While its good to see that 31% of organizations are investing in Identity and Access Management (IAM) this is a complex and often-ignored area. Security and business executives need to understand who has access to sensitive data, why these people need access, how often they access sensitive data, and what they do with the data once they access it. This is a very difficult thing to do but it starts with strong authentication, the principle of least privileges, and constant monitoring. Finally, data security controls aren't worth much if there are multiple copies of sensitive data spread throughout the network that CISOs don't even know about. Unfortunately, this is one of our biggest security challenges and the bad guys know this. Organizations that aren't addressing this problem remain extremely vulnerable to attacks and costly data breaches.

Upper Hutt Leader
Lack of parking and fear of lifts will make life difficult for many Upper Hutt Grey Power members when Aotea Pathology moves from the health centre to CBD Towers this weekend.
President Max Becker says his phone has been red hot since confirmation the blood testing collection area will open on the sixth floor of Upper Hutt's tallest building next Monday.
Mr Becker says Grey Power members have difficulty getting parking when they meet in the nearby Hapai Clubrooms.
"It is a very unwise move on their part," he says of the Aotea Pathology decision.
"I expect there will be problems with parking and some of the elderly who are fearful of lifts," Mr Becker says.
"I have some real reservations about them going there."
Upper Hutt woman Sandra Banks learned of the move through a small notice on the wall at the blood collection area in Sinclair St where there is plenty of parking near the health centre. She worries some people may be unable to walk from their cars to the new site.
But Aotea Pathology chief executive and pathologist Karen Wood says parking availability at the new site was considered and was believed to be adequate.
Staying at the health centre was not an option because more space was needed and none was available.
The new site was "lovely and spacious", she said.
For people fearful of using lifts, the organisation had rooms in Stokes Valley and could also do house calls in some circumstances, she said.

Augusta Davies Webster
Deserted Poem by Augusta Davies Webster
No, mother, I am not sad:
Why think me sad? I was always still,
You remember, even when my heart was most glad
And you used to let me dream at my will;
And now I like better to watch the sea
And the calm sad sky than to laugh with the rest.
You know they are full of chatter and glee,
And I like the quietness best.
Nay, mother, you look so grave.
I know what you're thinking and will not say;
But you need not fear; I am growing brave
Now that the pain is passing away,
And I never weep for him now when alone,
For perhaps it was better -- who can tell? --
That it ended so. I shall soon be well
Now that the hardest is known.
I am so much stronger to-day
I can look at all past and think how it grew
And how by degrees it faded away,
That light of my life. Ah! when I first knew
I had only been a plaything to him
Through all my loving, it seemed so strange.
If the high noontide at once grew night-dim
It would not be such a change.
I wonder I did not die.
Mother, I'll own it you now I am strong,
I used to wake in the night and lie
Wishing and wishing it might not be long --
Oh! it was wicked, and you all so kind,
How could I wish to bring you a grief?
But too much unhappiness makes one blind
To all but one's own relief.
I am not so wicked now;
You need not fear. I am hoping that still,
I am learning to lean on God, and I bow,
Yes I think I bow my heart to His will.
I found it a long hard struggle to make,
To clasp my sorrow and say "It is best,"
But, believe it, you need not fear for my sake;
Yes, mother, I am at rest:
Yet, listen, if I should die soon --
And I know what they say, though you hide it from me --
Mother, you'll grant me my last-asked boon,
That you'll try not to think it his fault, and if he,
Mother, if he should seek you some day,
You will not make him a hard reply,
But tell him, before I passed away,
I sent him kind good-bye.
Mother, kiss me, do not cry.
I could not keep from speaking of this;
It is nothing to say "If I should die,"
It cannot bring death more near than it is;
And I am much stronger. You shall not weep --
Who is it tells me that weeping is wrong?
But let me lean on your lap and sleep,
I lay waking last night too long.

Great location, great servicePosted Mar 2, 2015
Loved the valet meeting us right outside, as I was stressed about parking. Everyone was very professional, the room was clean and comfortable. The only drawback were: no tub in the room, just shower, and the bar closed a little early for a saturday night.

Great location to Old MontrealPosted Feb 28, 2015
Pros: The staff are very helpful and perfect location to Old Historic District.
Cons: The mattress and pillows could be more comfortable. I know it is a personal preference, but I have stayed in other hotels with more comfortable beds.
Location: This hotel is in the Old Historic District and can walk to the Harbour and other Historical sites easily.
We visited Montreal for a hockey game and walked around the historic district during the day. We had a great time for only being in Montreal for less than 48 hours. We plan on going back when it is warmer.

Luxe et confort dans le coeur du Vieux-MontréalPosted Feb 13, 2015
Pros: Confort du lit, propreté, disponibilité et gentillesse du personnel. Chambre spacieuse et très bien insonorisée.
Cons: Débarcadère devant l'hôtel complet lors de notre arrivée, nous obligeant à circuler dans les rues en attendant qu'une place se libère.
Location: Proximité de plusieurs restaurants et animation (jour et nuit). Quartier très touristique donc difficile de trouver des endroits abordables.
Nous ne sommes restés qu'une nuitée dans une suite pour 4 personnes avec chambre fermée. Comme le mentionnait l'hôtel, nous pouvions demandé quelques extra (ex. foyer, vue sur la rue ou la cours, mur de briques, etc.). Nous ne souhaitions par débourser pour garantir nos demandes, mais pour notre plus grand plaisir, elles ont toutes été réalisées! De plus, des petits détails font que nous nous sentons bien dès notre arrivée : bouteilles d'eau, bûche pour le foyer, allumettes, serviettes de bain moelleuses à souhait, machine à café Nespresso et capsules.

Top 50 hotel in CanadaPosted Feb 3, 2015
Pros: Fireplace in the suite, view onto a typical old Montreal building, dining room, location.
Cons: Restaurant and bar staff
Location: Brilliant location close to Notre-Dame Basilica, Saint-Paul street with its art galleries and trendy shops, Place Jacques Cartier
Lovely boutique hotel near Notre-Dame Basilica. Gorgeous rooms and cozy bar. Chandelier lights and ceiling windows make the dining room shine brightly. Very pleasant overall. Breakfast ends too early for North American standards and actually the restaurant manager had had the staff prepare lunch service half an hour before breakfast ended. This is exasperating particularly for such type of hotel. And someone should remind the restaurant manager to be more charming!

About the ManufacturerIn January 1950, Wilbur Berger established Monarch Glass on Rachel Street in Montreal, providing quality custom mirror and glasswork for both retail stores and the home. Understanding that there was more business with glass, Monarch started manufacturing and then diversified to importing mirrors and frames. In 1965 Monarch Glass got the very lucrative contract of manufacturing frames for the Expo and renamed itself Monarch Specialties Inc. During this time, they moved their operations to a larger location to increase their import business, while continuing to use their extensive glass knowledge to manufacture furniture such as glass top tables and TV stands. In 1997 they started importing from Asia offering over 1000 different items of furniture for virtually every room in the home. The addition of their import line has increased the Monarch catalog to the impressive size it is today, featuring bedroom, living room, accent, home office and many more categories. Monarch is a leader in the furniture import and distribution business. Their fashion forward designs, attention to quality and on-time customer service make them a value driven leader in the home furnishings industry.

Luongo has to be so frustrated, not starting the outdoor game tomorrow in Vancouver will only ad to the mess that is building with this team.
Posted by Paul from Motown Area on 03/01/14 at 07:26 PM ET
I have a theory that they're working on a trade of Luongo to MIN for Heatley and a pick (and maybe Backstrom)...just an idea as to why they might be sitting him. A little far-fetched, but we'll see.

Business soars thanks to Jets suite
Executive box a lure for prospective clients
Any apprehension Joe Cyr had after signing a 10-year agreement for a luxury suite to watch the Winnipeg Jets last season evaporated after the fourth game.
That's because the business the president and CEO of Price Industries was able to capture while the Jets and Pittsburgh Penguins played on the ice below more than paid for the suite for the entire season.
"It was a massive investment decision. We saw it as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. We had lots of qualms about it. At the time, you couldn't be certain how it would all play out. Who knew how wonderful an experience it would be?" he said.
"We had no inkling it would pay off quickly. The fact that it went over so well with our customers and paid off so quickly was sheer good fortune (as opposed to) great planning. Our estimate is it will pay for itself many times over each year."
The key for Price Industries, a designer and manufacturer of heating, ventilation and air-conditioning products for non-residential buildings that employs more than 800 Winnipeggers, was getting its guests to visit its Price Research Center North. Once they had toured the research and development facility and spoken with its team of engineers and software developers, it was only a matter of time until a deal was signed.
"If we can get them on our home ice, we win. Our home record is better than the Jets' record. It's literally 100 per cent," he said.
"Having an NHL team, a suite and a chance to combine a visit to our research facility and a Jets game is a knock-out punch. We were able to get more engineers and contractors to visit than ever before."
Not every visitor cheered for the home team, however. When San Jose came to town in January, the Price suite was full of California engineers and contractors wearing Sharks gear.
From an investment standpoint, Cyr said he would have preferred to sign on for a half suite and decide whether to up the ante in a few years. But considering the overwhelming demand for Jets tickets and suites, he didn't have that luxury.
Scott Brown, the Jets' director of corporate communications, said every one of the 55 luxury suites was locked up last summer for seven to 10 years. They weren't cheap, either. Depending on the location, the annual costs per suite ranged from about $100,000 to nearly $200,000.
"There was no difficulty selling the suites. There is a waiting list," Brown said. "There was good feedback from the suite holders. We're pleased that people are happy with the service they received."
Like all hockey fans, Cyr is hoping the NHL and its players' association can sign a new collective bargaining agreement before Sept. 15 to avoid a lockout.
"Our reps across Canada and in every major U.S. city are already planning visits to Winnipeg to come to (Jets) games with their engineers and contractors. Games are being gobbled up," he said.

text: Critical Care - Latest Articles http://ccforum.com/ The latest research articles published by Critical Care 2015-04-02T00:00:00Z Fluid overload at start of continuous renal replacement therapy is associated with poorer clinical condition and outcome: a prospective observational study on the combined use of bioimpedance vector analysis and serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide measurement IntroductionIt is unclear whether the fluid status, as determined by bioimpedance vector analysis (BIVA) combined with serum N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptides (NT-pro-BNP) measurement, is associated with treatment outcome among patients receiving continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT). Our objective was to answer it. Methods: Patients in the intensive care units of an university teaching hospital requiring CRRT were screened for enrollment. For the enrolled patients, BIVA and serum NT-pro BNP measurement were performed just before the start of CRRT and 3 days afterward. According to the BIVA and NT-pro BNP measurement results, the patients were divided into four groups according to fluid status type: type 1, both normal; type 2, normal BIVA results and abnormal NT-pro BNP levels; type 3, abnormal BIVA results and normal NT-pro BNP levels; type 4, both abnormal. The associations between fluid status and outcome were analyzed. Results: Eighty-nine patients were enrolled, with 58 males and a mean age of 49.0 ± 17.2 years. The mean score of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation II (APACHE II) was 18.8 ± 8.6. The fluid status before CRRT start was as follows: type 1, 21.3% (19/89); type 2, 16.9% (15/89); type 3, 11.2% (10/89); and type 4, 50.6% (45/89). There were significant differences between fluid status types before starting CRRT on baseline values for APACHE II scores, serum creatinine, hemoglobin, platelet count, urine volume, as well as incidences of oliguria and acute kidney injury (p < 0.05). There were significant differences between patients with different fluid status before CRRT start on hospital mortality: type 1, 26.3% (5/19); type 2, 33.3% (5/15); type 3, 40% (4/10); and type 4, 64.4% (29/45) (p = 0.019); as well as renal function recovery rates: type 1, 57.1% (4/7); type 2, 67.7% (6/9); type 3, 50% (3/6); and type 4, 23.7% (9/38) (p = 0.051). Conclusions: Fluid status abnormalities were common among patients receiving CRRT. Different types of fluid status distinguished by BIVA combined with serum NT-pro BNP measurements corresponded to different clinical conditions and treatment outcomes, which implies a value of this method for evaluation of fluid status among patients receiving CRRT. http://ccforum.com/content/19/1/135 Haiyan Chen Buyun Wu Dehua Gong Zhihong Liu Critical Care 2015, null:135 2015-04-02T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13054-015-0871-3 /content/figures/s13054-015-0871-3-toc.gif Critical Care 1364-8535 ${item.volume} 135 2015-04-02T00:00:00Z PDF Significant modification of traditional rapid sequence induction improves safety and effectiveness of pre-hospital trauma anaesthesia IntroductionRapid Sequence Induction of anaesthesia (RSI) is the recommended method to facilitate emergency tracheal intubation in trauma patients. In emergency situations, a simple and standardised RSI protocol may improve the safety and effectiveness of the procedure. A crucial component of developing a standardised protocol is the selection of induction agents. The aim of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of a traditional RSI protocol using etomidate and suxamethonium with a modified RSI protocol using fentanyl, ketamine and rocuronium. Methods: We performed a comparative cohort study of major trauma patients undergoing pre-hospital RSI by a physician-led Helicopter Emergency Medical Service. Group 1 underwent RSI using etomidate and suxamethonium and Group 2 underwent RSI using fentanyl, ketamine and rocuronium. Apart from the induction agents, the RSI protocol was identical in both groups. Outcomes measured included laryngoscopy view, intubation success, haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation, and mortality. Results: Compared to Group 1 (n = 116), Group 2 RSI (n = 145) produced significantly better laryngoscopy views (p = 0.013) and resulted in significantly higher first-pass intubation success (95% versus 100%; p = 0.007). A hypertensive response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation was less frequent following Group 2 RSI (79% versus 37%; p < 0.0001). A hypotensive response was uncommon in both groups (1% versus 6%; p = 0.05). Only one patient in each group developed true hypotension (SBP < 90 mmHg) on induction. Conclusions: In a comparative, cohort study, pre-hospital RSI using fentanyl, ketamine and rocuronium produced superior intubating conditions and a more favourable haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. An RSI protocol using fixed ratios of these agents delivers effective pre-hospital trauma anaesthesia. http://ccforum.com/content/19/1/134 Richard Lyon Zane Perkins Debamoy Chatterjee David Lockey Malcolm Russell on behalf of Kent, Surrey & Sussex Air Ambulance Trust Critical Care 2015, null:134 2015-04-01T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13054-015-0872-2 /content/figures/s13054-015-0872-2-toc.gif Critical Care 1364-8535 ${item.volume} 134 2015-04-01T00:00:00Z PDF Critical Care capacity in Canada: results of a national cross-sectional study IntroductionIntensive Care Units (ICUs) provide life-supporting treatment; however, resources are limited, so demand may exceed supply in the event of pandemics, environmental disasters, or in the context of an aging population. We hypothesized that comprehensive national data on ICU resources would permit a better understanding of regional differences in system capacity. Methods: After the 2009–2010 Influenza A (H1N1) pandemic, the Canadian Critical Care Trials Group surveyed all acute care hospitals in Canada to assess ICU capacity. Using a structured survey tool administered to physicians, respiratory therapists and nurses, we determined the number of ICU beds, ventilators, and the ability to provide specialized support for respiratory failure. Results: We identified 286 hospitals with 3170 ICU beds and 4982 mechanical ventilators for critically ill patients. Twenty-two hospitals had an ICU that routinely cared for children; 15 had dedicated pediatric ICUs. Per 100,000 population, there was substantial variability in provincial capacity, with a mean of 0.9 hospitals with ICUs (provincial range 0.4-2.8), 10 ICU beds capable of providing mechanical ventilation (provincial range 6–19), and 15 invasive mechanical ventilators (provincial range 10–24). There was only moderate correlation between ventilation capacity and population size (coefficient of determination (R2) = 0.771). Conclusion: ICU resources vary widely across Canadian provinces, and during times of increased demand, may result in geographic differences in the ability to care for critically ill patients. These results highlight the need to evolve inter-jurisdictional resource sharing during periods of substantial increase in demand, and provide background data for the development of appropriate critical care capacity benchmarks. http://ccforum.com/content/19/1/133 Robert Fowler Philip Abdelmalik Gordon Wood Denise Foster Noel Gibney Natalie Bandrauk Alexis Turgeon François Lamontagne Anand Kumar Ryan Zarychanski Rob Green Sean Bagshaw Henry Stelfox Ryan Foster Peter Dodek Susan Shaw John Granton Bernard Lawless Andrea Hill Louise Rose Neill Adhikari Damon Scales Deborah Cook John Marshall Claudio Martin Philippe Jouvet On Behalf of the Canadian Critical Care Trials Group and The Canadian ICU Capacity Group Critical Care 2015, null:133 2015-04-01T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13054-015-0852-6 /content/figures/s13054-015-0852-6-toc.gif Critical Care 1364-8535 ${item.volume} 133 2015-04-01T00:00:00Z PDF Copeptin levels are associated with organ dysfunction and death in the intensive care unit after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest IntroductionWe studied associations of the stress hormones copeptin and cortisol, with outcome and organ dysfunction after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA). Methods: Plasma was obtained after next of kin consent in the FINNRESUSCI study conducted in 21 Finnish intensive care units (ICU) between 2010 and 2011. We measured plasma copeptin (pmol/L) and free cortisol (nmol/L) on ICU admission (245 patients) and at 48 hours (additional 33 patients). Organ dysfunction was categorised with 24 hour Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) scores. Twelve month neurological outcome (available in 276 patients) was classified with cerebral performance categories (CPC), and dichotomised into good (CPC 1–2) or poor (CPC 3–5). Data are presented as medians and interquartile ranges (IQR). A Mann–Whitney U test, multiple linear and logistic regression tests with odds ratios (OR) 95% confidence intervals (CI) and beta (B) values, repeated measure analysis of variance and receiver operating characteristic curves with area under the curve (AUC), were performed. Results: Patients with a poor 12-month outcome had higher levels of copeptin (89, IQR 41 to 193 versus 51, IQR 29 to 11 pmol/L, P = 0.0014) and cortisol (728, IQR 522 to 1017 versus 576, IQR 355 to 850 nmol/L, P = 0.0013). Copeptin levels fell between admission and 48 hours (P <0.001), independently of outcome (P = 0.847). Cortisol levels did not change between admission and 48 hours (P = 0.313), independently of outcome (P = 0.221). The AUC for predicting long-term outcome was weak for copeptin (0.62, 95% CI 0.55 to 0.69) and cortisol (0.62, 95% CI 0.54 to 0.69). With logistic regression admission copeptin (standard deviation (SD) increase OR 1.4 95% CI 1.03 to 1.98) and cortisol (SD increase OR 1.5 95% CI 1.1 to 2.0) predicted of ICU mortality but not 12-month outcome. Admission factors correlating with SOFA were: shockable rhythm (B −1.3, 95% CI −2.2 to −0.5), adrenaline use (B 1.0, 95% CI 0.2 to 2.0), therapeutic hypothermia (B 1.2, 95% CI 0.3 to 2.1) and copeptin (B 0.05, 95% CI 0.02 to 0.07). Conclusions: Admission copeptin and free cortisol were not of prognostic value regarding 12-month neurological outcome after OHCA. Higher admission copeptin and cortisol were associated with ICU death, and copeptin predicted subsequent organ dysfunction. http://ccforum.com/content/19/1/132 Giuseppe Ristagno Roberto Latini Mario Plebani Martina Zaninotto Jukka Vaahersalo Serge Masson Marjaana Tiainen Jouni Kurola Flavio Gaspari Valentina Milani Ville Pettilä Markus Skrifvars for the FINNRESUSCI Study Group Critical Care 2015, null:132 2015-03-31T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13054-015-0831-y /content/figures/s13054-015-0831-y-toc.gif Critical Care 1364-8535 ${item.volume} 132 2015-03-31T00:00:00Z PDF Trigger mechanisms of secondary sclerosing cholangitis in critically ill patients IntroductionIn recent years the development of secondary sclerosing cholangitis in critically ill patients (SSC-CIP) has increasingly been perceived as a separate disease entity. About possible trigger mechanisms has been speculated, systematic investigations are still lacking. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence and influence of promoting factors. Methods: Temporality, consistency and biological plausibility are essential prerequisites for causality. In this study, we investigated the temporality and consistency of possible triggers of SSC-CIP in a large case series. Biological plausibility of the individual triggers is discussed in a scientific context. SSC-CIP cases were recruited retrospectively from 2633 patients who underwent or were scheduled for liver transplantation at the University Hospital Charité, Berlin. All patients who developed secondary sclerosing cholangitis in association with intensive care treatment were included. Possible trigger factors during the course of the initial intensive care treatment were recorded. Results: Sixteen patients (68% males, mean age 45.87 ± 14.64 years) with a confirmed diagnosis of SSC-CIP were identified. Of the 19 risk factors investigated, particularly severe hypotension with a prolonged decrease in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) to <65 mmHg and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) were established as possible triggers of SSC-CIP. The occurrence of severe hypotension appears to be the first and most significant step in the pathogenesis. It seems that severe hypotension has a critical effect on the blood supply of bile ducts when it occurs together with additional microcirculatory disturbances. Conclusions: In critically ill patients with newly acquired cholestasis the differential diagnosis of SSC-CIP should be considered when they have had an episode of haemodynamic instability with a prolonged decrease in MAP, initial need for large amounts of blood transfusions or colloids, and early development of a SIRS. http://ccforum.com/content/19/1/131 Silke Leonhardt Wilfried Veltzke-Schlieker Andreas Adler Eckart Schott Roland Hetzer Walter Schaffartzik Michael Tryba Peter Neuhaus Daniel Seehofer Critical Care 2015, null:131 2015-03-31T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13054-015-0861-5 /content/figures/s13054-015-0861-5-toc.gif Critical Care 1364-8535 ${item.volume} 131 2015-03-31T00:00:00Z PDF Albumin infusion for the critically ill – is it beneficial and, if so, why and how?

Our goal is to assess the effect of MAP titration to a higher level on microcirculation in hypertensive septic shock patients. Methods: This is a single-center open label study. Hypertensive patients with septic shock for less than 24 hours after adequate fluid resuscitation and requiring norepinephrine to maintain a MAP of 65 mm Hg were enrolled. Then MAP was titrated by norepinephrine from 65 mm Hg to patients' usual level. In addition to hemodynamic variables, sublingual microcirculation was evaluated by sidestream dark field imaging. Results: Nineteen patients were enrolled in the study. Increasing MAP from 65 mm Hg to patients' usual level was associated with increased central venous pressure (from 11 ± 4 to 13 ± 4 mm Hg, p = 0.002), cardiac output (from 5.4 ± 1.4 to 6.4 ± 2.1 l/min, p = 0.001), central venous oxygen saturation (from 81 ± 7 to 83 ± 7%, p = 0.001). There were significant increases of small perfused vessel density (from 10.96 ± 2.98 to 11.99 ± 2.55 vessels/mm2, p = 0.009), proportion of small perfused vessel (from 85 ± 18 to 92 ± 14%, p = 0.002), and small microvascular flow index (from 2.45 ± 0.61 to 2.80 ± 0.68, p = 0.009) when compared with a MAP of 65 mm Hg. Conclusions: Increasing MAP from 65 mm Hg to patients' usual level is associated with improved microcirculation in hypertensive septic shock patients.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT01443494.

Few previous epidemiologic studies, however, have analysed premenopausal women as a separate group when addressing potential gender differences in critical care outcome. Our aim was to see if premenopausal aged women have a better outcome following critical care and to investigate the association between gender and use of intensive care unit (ICU) resources. Methods: Based on 127 254 consecutive Simplified Acute Physiology Score 3 (SAPS 3) -scored Swedish Intensive Care Registry ICU admissions from 2008-2012, we determined the risk-adjusted 30-day mortality, accumulated nurse workload score, and length of ICU stay. To investigate association with gender, we used logistic regression and multivariate analyses on the entire cohort as well as on two subgroups stratified by median age for menopause (up to and including 45 years and >45 years), and six selected diagnostic subgroups (sepsis, multiple trauma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, acute respiratory distress syndrome, pneumonia and cardiac arrest). Results: There was no gender difference in risk-adjusted mortality for the cohort as a whole, and there was no gender difference in risk-adjusted mortality in the group ≤45 years-of-age. For the group of patients > 45 years-of-age we found a reduced risk-adjusted mortality in males admitted for cardiac arrest. For the cohort as a whole, and for those admitted with multiple trauma, male gender was associated with a higher nurse workload score and a longer ICU stay. Conclusions: Using information from a large multiple ICU register database we found that premenopausal female gender was not associated with a survival advantage following intensive care in Sweden. When adjusted for age and severity of illness, male patients use more ICU-resources per admission than female patients. http://ccforum.com/content/19/1/129 Carolina Samuelsson Folke Sjöberg Göran Karlström Thomas Nolin Sten Walther Critical Care 2015, null:129 2015-03-30T00:00:00Z doi:10.1186/s13054-015-0873-1 /content/figures/s13054-015-0873-1-toc.gif Critical Care 1364-8535 ${item.volume} 129 2015-03-30T00:00:00Z PDF Functional outcomes in ICU – what should we be using? - an observational study IntroductionWith growing awareness of the importance of rehabilitation new measures are being developed specifically for use in the intensive care unit (ICU). There are currently 26 measures reported to assess function in ICU survivors. The Physical Function in Intensive care Test scored (PFIT-s) has established clinimetric properties. It is unknown how other functional measures perform in comparison to the PFIT-s or which functional measure may be the most clinically applicable for use within the ICU. The aims of this study were to determine (1) the criterion validity of the Functional Status Score for the ICU (FSS-ICU), ICU Mobility Scale (IMS) and Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) against the PFIT-s; (2) the construct validity of these tests against muscle strength; (3) the predictive utility of these tests to predict discharge to home; and (4) the clinical applicability of these tests. This was a nested study within an ongoing controlled study and an observational study. Methods: Sixty-six individuals were assessed at awakening and ICU discharge. Measures included: PFIT-s, FSS-ICU, IMS and SPPB. Bivariate relationships (Spearman's rank correlation coefficient) and predictive validity (logistic regression) were determined. Responsiveness (effect sizes); floor and ceiling effects; and minimal important differences were calculated. Results: Mean ± SD PFIT-s at awakening was 4.7 ± 2.3 out of 10. On awakening a large positive relationship existed between PFIT-s and the other functional measures: FSS-ICU (rho = 0.87, p < 0.005), IMS (rho = 0.81, p < 0.005) and SPPB (rho = 0.70, p < 0.005). The PFIT-s had excellent construct validity (rho = 0.8, p < 0.005) and FSS-ICU (rho = 0.69, p < 0.005) and IMS (rho = 0.57, p < 0.005) had moderate construct validity with muscle strength. The PFIT-s and FSS-ICU had small floor/ceiling effects <11% at awakening and ICU discharge, whereas the IMS had a 17% floor effect on awakening. The SPPB had a large floor effect at awakening (78%) and ICU discharge (56%). All tests demonstrated responsiveness; however highest effect size was seen in the PFIT-s (Cohen's d = 0.71). Conclusions: There is high criterion validity for other functional measures against the PFIT-s. The PFIT-s and FSS-ICU are promising functional measures and are recommended to measure function within the ICU.Trial registrationClinicaltrials.gov NCT02214823.

Charities must practice 'governance for growth' and not be afraid of being more commercial, says Stephen Lloyd.
Labour's cunning plan to force public schools to prove they provide public benefit has failed, says Stephen Lloyd.
Charities have enjoyed measured success over the past twenty years by engaging in business-like practises. But has the recent recession provided reason for a move away from such activities? Stephen Lloyd considers.
