Excerpt

I read with interest the research work done by Yang and colleagues [1] on measurement of ultrasonography-guided optic nerve sheath diameter (ONSD) in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) and its correlation with outcome. I appreciate the authors for successfully demonstrating raised ONSD in SAE patients; however, I have a few methodological concerns with the study. …
