Management of Sepsis in Hospitalized Patients
Sepsis is the leading cause of death worldwide. Mortality has improved in the past few decades but remains high, and survivors frequently have long-term complications. Initial diagnostic evaluation focuses on risk stratification and source and pathogen identification. Treatment includes intravenous fluids, vasopressors, steroids if shock is present, antimicrobial therapy targeting the most likely source of infection, and source control. Patients with shock or high-risk organ failure syndromes should be admitted early to an intensive care unit.

Management of Hyperglycemia in Hospitalized Patients
People with diabetes account for 25% of hospitalizations, or 8 million admissions annually. Poor glycemic control in the hospital is associated with increased morbidity, mortality, length of stay, and readmissions. Key considerations of inpatient diabetes management include initiation of appropriate insulin or medication regimens and frequent dose adjustments based on patient-specific factors. Inpatient diabetes management teams and new technologies are increasingly prevalent and can assist in achieving glycemic targets in the hospital.
Management of Heart Failure in Hospitalized Patients
Heart failure affects more than 6 million people in the United States, and hospitalizations for decompensated heart failure confer a heavy toll in morbidity, mortality, and health care costs. Clinical trials have demonstrated effective interventions; however, hospitalization and mortality rates remain high. Key components of effective hospital care include appropriate diagnostic evaluation, triage and risk stratification, early implementation of guideline-directed medical therapy, adequate diuresis, and appropriate discharge planning.

Lyme Disease
Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi, is the most common vector-borne disease in the United States, and the range of its tick vector continues to expand. Most Lyme disease cases are diagnosed with the onset of the erythema migrans rashes, which can be single or multiple and vary from a homogeneous erythema to bull’s-eye patterns. Serologic antibody testing is of low sensitivity at onset but becomes highly sensitive after a few weeks. Early dissemination may lead to neurologic and cardiac complications. Mono- or oligoarticular arthritis may develop in untreated patients.
