Combined intravenous bolus amino acid supplementation and mobilization on early muscle loss in critically ill adults: A randomized controlled trial

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Muscle wasting is a hallmark of critical illness. We evaluated the effect of amino acid supplementation and mobilization on early muscle loss in critically ill patients. Methods We conducted a randomized parallel‐group trial involving adult patients admitted to the surgical intensive care unit of a tertiary hospital.

Admission Glucose and In-hospital Mortality after Acute Myocardial Infarction in Patients with or without Diabetes: A Cross-sectional Study

Chinese Medical Journal, 2017
Background: Hyperglycemia on admission has been found to elevate risk for mortality and adverse clinical events after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but there are evidences that the relationship of blood glucose and mortality may differ between ...

Admission hyperglycemia in patients with acute coronary syndrome complicated by cardiogenic shock

Cardiology Journal, 2015
Many reports shoed that for patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) increased admission blood glucose (ABG) level is associated with adverse outcomes. Although scientific reports on this issue are still inconsistent, many recent studies confirm that hyperglycemia is also an unfavorable prognostic factor in patients with ACS complicated by ...

Long Term Metabolic Outcomes Following Pancreatectomy and Autologous Islet Transplantation: Systematic Review and Meta‐Analysis

Journal of Surgical Oncology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This systematic review and meta‐analysis assessed long‐term outcomes following total pancreatectomy with islet autotransplantation (TPIAT). Seventeen studies including 1332 patients were analyzed. The pooled insulin independence rate was 34%, with higher rates for non‐chronic pancreatitis indications (68%) versus chronic pancreatitis (33 ...

Contrasting effects of preexisting hyperglycemia and higher body size on hospital mortality in critically ill patients: a prospective cohort study [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Obesity and diabetes mellitus are well-defined risk factors for cardiovascular mortality. The impact of antecedent hyperglycemia and body size on mortality in critical ill patients in intensive care units (ICUs) may vary across their range of

Admission Hyperglycemia Predicts a Worse Outcome in Stroke Patients Treated With Intravenous Thrombolysis [PDF]

Diabetes Care, 2008
OBJECTIVE Admission hyperglycemia has been associated with worse outcomes in ischemic stroke. We hypothesized that hyperglycemia (glucose &gt;8.0 mmol/l) in the hyperacute phase would be independently associated with increased mortality, symptomatic intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH), and poor functional status at ...

Value of 2‐Dimensional Shear‐Wave Elastography in Assessing Tibial Nerve Stiffness in Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy

Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.
Objectives The morphological alterations of the tibial nerve in patients with diabetes mellitus, both with and without diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN), are challenging to differentiate using B‐mode ultrasound. In this study, we assessed the stiffness changes of the tibial nerve by 2‐dimensional shear‐wave elastography (2D‐SWE). Methods We gathered
