Micronutrients in Critical Illness
Critical Care Clinics, 1995Micronutrients play a key role in many of the metabolic processes that promote survival from critical illness. For vitamins, these processes include oxidative phosphorylation, which is altered in the patient with systemic inflammation, and protection against mediators, in particular oxidants. Trace elements are essential for direct antioxidant activity

Cell and Tissue Research, 2017During critical illness, dramatic alterations in neutrophil biology are observed including abnormalities of granulopoeisis and lifespan, cell trafficking and antimicrobial effector functions. As a result, neutrophils transition from powerful antimicrobial protectors into dangerous mediators of tissue injury and organ dysfunction.

Orvosi Hetilap, 2014
Critically ill patients are often unable to eat by themselves over a long period of time, sometimes for weeks. In the acute phase, serious protein-energy malnutrition may develop with progressive muscle weakness, which may result in assisted respiration of longer duration as well as longer stay in intensive care unit and hospital.

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

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
