Triglyceride‐Glucose Index‐Based Nomogram for Predicting Short‐Term Mortality in Sepsis Patients

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The triglyceride‐glucose (TyG) index, a marker of insulin resistance, is associated with outcomes in critical illness; however, its predictive role for 28‐day mortality in Asian patients with sepsis has not been established. To address this, the current investigation was designed to evaluate its prognostic significance and to construct a risk ...

Improving enteral nutrition in patients requiring neurological intensive care unit care: A retrospective study on a novel bedside nasointestinal tube placement technique

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background This study aimed to develop and assess a bedside nasojejunal tube placement technique designed for resource‐limited settings to address the specific challenges of enteral nutrition (EN) delivery in neurocritical care patients, particularly those at high risk of reflux and aspiration. The technique sought to overcome the drawbacks of

The associations between sarcopenia risk, malnutrition, and mortality in adults admitted to an intensive care unit: A prospective, cohort study

Nutrition in Clinical Practice, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Sarcopenia and malnutrition are associated with mortality, including in adults admitted to an intensive care unit. However, their relationships with each other and with intensive care unit mortality, independently, in mechanically ventilated adults are unclear.

Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Validation of the APACHE IV model and its comparison with the APACHE II, SAPS 3, and Korean SAPS 3 models for the prediction of hospital mortality in a Korean surgical intensive care unit [PDF]

Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2014
BackgroundThe Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) IV model has not yet been validated in Korea. The aim of this study was to compare the ability of the APACHE IV with those of APACHE II, Simplified Acute Physiology Score (SAPS) 3, and

Accounting for animal movement during aerial imaging surveys

Remote Sensing in Ecology and Conservation, EarlyView.
Animals are not stationary during aerial surveys; if their movements are related to the movement of the aerial platform, then bias can be introduced into subsequent population count estimates. We sought to establish a framework for assessing the impacts of animal movement on count error and platform bias by comparing aggregated counts and relative ...
