Issue #[06] | Week of [25/07/2025] - [07/08/2025]

Welcome!

Hey there!

This week’s issue is packed with fascinating new research. I’m running a little behind—this was supposed to land in your inbox yesterday—so thanks for your patience!

We’ve got 141 papers in anesthesiology and 180 papers in critical care for you to explore. As always, I’ve sorted everything by subject and paper type so you can breeze through and jump straight to what matters most to you.

If you find this newsletter useful, please share it with colleagues, friends, or anyone who might benefit—it really helps the community grow.
