The legacy of a critical illness
British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2007Improved management of the acute phase of a critical illness ensures that approximately two in three patients will eventually leave hospital, yet survival does not necessarily mean a return to full health. The more widespread use of follow-up clinics in patients discharged from an intensive care unit (ICU) has shown a substantial legacy in terms of ...

Critical Care Clinics, 2004
The anemia of critical illness is a distinct clinical entity with characteristics similar to that of chronic disease anemia. Several solutions to the processes of anemia, such as blunted erythropoietin production and erythropoietin response and abnormalities in iron metabolism have been developed.

Current Opinion in Critical Care, 2009
The article reviews and speculates on potential mechanisms underlying sex-related differences in admission patterns, care delivery and outcome of critical illness.Evidence from many countries suggests men are more commonly admitted to intensive care units than are women, and may be more likely to receive aggressive life support.

Pharmacotherapy: The Journal of Human Pharmacology and Drug Therapy, 2008
Anemia of critical illness, a commonly encountered clinical situation, is hematologically similar to that of chronic anemia, except that the onset is generally sudden. The etiology is usually multifactorial, occurring as a consequence of direct inhibitory effects of inflammatory cytokines, erythropoietin deficiency, blunted erythropoietic response ...

Thyrotoxicosis in the Critically Ill
Critical Care Clinics, 1991The thyrotoxic patient offers a considerable challenge to the critical care physician because the "obvious" diagnosis often will be a cardiac (or other nonthyroidal) problem, but the "correct" diagnosis will be an endocrinologic one. The importance of considering the diagnosis of thyrotoxicosis in any patient with tachyarrhythmias, new-onset congestive

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 2006
Malnutrition associated with critical illness has been unequivocally associated with increased morbidity and mortality in humans. Because malnutrition may similarly affect veterinary patients, the nutritional requirements of hospitalized critically ill animals must be properly addressed. Proper nutritional support is increasingly being recognized as an

Current Gastroenterology Reports
The purpose of this narrative review is to describe the mechanisms for gut dysfunction during critical illness, outline hypotheses of gut-derived inflammation, and identify nutrition and non-nutritional therapies that have direct and indirect effects on preserving both epithelial barrier function and gut microbiota during critical illness.Clinical and ...

Neurorehabilitation and Neural Repair, 2001
Critical illness neuropathy frequently accompanies the septic syndrome in inten sive care units. Another entity that may occur independently or concurrently in crit ically ill patients is a myopathy, giving rise to difficulties in distinguishing between them. The two patients described had sensorimotor axonal peripheral neuropathy.
