TL;DR: A task force of 11 experts in the disciplines related to critical care medicine and infectious diseases concluded that, because fever can have many infectious and noninfectious etiologies, a new fever in a patient in the intensive care unit should trigger a careful clinical assessment rather than automatic orders for laboratory and radiologic tests.

CT-scan and EEG findings in professional pugilists: early detection of cerebral atrophy in young boxers.
TL;DR: A good correlation was found between CT-scan pictures, EEG patterns and sporting career of the boxers: the pugilistis who suffered knockouts had pathological and/or borderlineCT-scan and EEGs, while the p Pugilists who did not experience knockouts during their career showed a normal CT- scan and EEG, independently of the years of activity and number of matches.
