Internal weight matrix examination indicated that age, ventilatory support, and high trauma scores were strongly associated with both ICU days and mortality, and being female, injury severity, and injury type were associated with increased LOS.
Mycotic aneurysm. New concepts in therapy.
TLDR
An initial misdiagnosis of cellulitis or abscess in 17% of the patients was corrected after arteriography or bleeding following operative drainage, and there was no ischemia following ligation and excision of aneurysms of the radial, brachial, external iliac, deep femoral, and superficial femoral arteries.

The Cardiopulmonary Response to Massive Doses of Steroids in Patients with Septic Shock

The effects of massive doses of steroids on septic shock were tested in patients being treated for extensive cellulitis, wet gangrene, or severe peritonitis and no differences were noted in morbidity and five patients in each group died.
Etiology, treatment, and outcome of esophageal ulcers: A 10-year experience in an urban emergency hospital

A review of studies on the effects of hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation on the coagulation profile.

Clinical evaluation and management of caustic injury in the upper gastrointestinal tract in 95 adult patients in an urban medical center
