“…Prolonged fever is generally believed to be an indicator of central fever, as opposed to the spiking pattern, which is most commonly regarded as infections (Rabinstein & Sandhu ). A balanced approach should incorporate clinical assessment of both infectious and noninfectious aetiologies contributing to elevated body temperature (Rehman & Deboisblanc ), for providing reference to appropriate therapy.…”

“…Als sinnvolle Therapie wird die Entfernung eines gleichseitigen Tubus und eine Abstrich-orientierte Antibiotikagabe angesehen [805]. Andererseits scheint es sinnvoll, ein minimal invasives operatives Vorgehen im Zweifelsfall großzügig zu indizieren und als primäre Therapie durchzuführen, da auf diese Weise eine sehr rasche Wirkung erzielt und gleichzeitig die pulmonale Situation [806]…”

Endonasal endoscopic sinus surgery is the standard procedure for surgery of most paranasal sinus diseases.Appropriate frame conditions provided, the respective procedures are safe and successful.These prerequisites encompass appropriate technical equipment, anatomical oriented surgical technique, proper patient selection, and individually adapted extent of surgery.The range of endonasal sinus operations has dramatically increased during the last 20 years and reaches from partial uncinectomy to pansinusoperation with extended surgery of the frontal (Draf type III), maxillary (grade 3-4, medial maxillectomy, prelacrimal approach) and sphenoid sinus.In addition there are operations outside and beyond the paranasal sinuses. The development of surgical technique is still constantly evolving.This article gives a comprehensive review on the most recent state of the art in endoscopic sinus surgery according to the literature with the following aspects: principles and fundamentals, surgical techniques, indications, outcome, postoperative care, nasal packing and stents, technical equipment.

“…Fever is commonly found in patients admitted in Neurological ICU, increases risk of complications, and is usually associated with unfavorable clinical outcomes[127,128]. For example, in patients with ischemic stroke, chance to develop poor outcomes increases 2.2 times in each one degree exceeding 37 °C when compared with patients who have normal temperature[129].…”

Targeted temperature management (TTM) shows the most promising neuroprotective therapy against hypoxic/ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). In addition, TTM is also useful for treatment of elevated intracranial pressure (ICP). HIE and elevated ICP are common catastrophic conditions in patients admitted in Neurologic intensive care unit (ICU). The most common cause of HIE is cardiac arrest. Randomized control trials demonstrate clinical benefits of TTM in patients with post-cardiac arrest. Although clinical benefit of ICP control by TTM in some specific critical condition, for an example in traumatic brain injury, is still controversial, efficacy of ICP control by TTM is confirmed by both in vivo and in vitro studies. Several methods of TTM have been reported in the literature. TTM can apply to various clinical conditions associated with hypoxic/ischemic brain injury and elevated ICP in Neurologic ICU.
