Critical Illness Neuromuscular Syndromes
Critical Care Clinics, 2006Critical illness neuromyopathy (CINM) is the most common peripheral neuromuscular disorder encountered in the ICU. Bilateral diffuse weakness predominant in the proximal part of the limbs after improvement of the acute phase of the critical illness is highly suggestive of CINM.

Current Rheumatology Reports, 2002
Acute myopathy is a common problem in intensive care units. Those at highest risk for developing critical illness myopathy are exposed to intravenous corticosteroids and paralytic agents during treatment of various illnesses. Diffuse weakness and failure to wean from mechanical ventilation are the most common clinical manifestations.

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

Critical Illness Polyneuropathy and Critical Illness Myopathy
2003Neuromuscular disorders alone can account for up to 62% of the cases of ventilatory dependency in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with no other apparent causes of failure to wean, and they may be a contributing factor in up to 86% of these patients (Spitzer et al. 1992).

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.

Liver Injury and Failure in Critical Illness
Hepatology, 2019The frequency of acquired liver injury and failure in critical illness has been significantly increasing over recent decades. Currently, liver injury and failure are observed in up to 20% of patients in intensive care units and are associated with ...

Critical illness can be considered to be any disease process which causes physiological instability that leads to disability or death within minutes or hours. Fortunately, physiological instability associated with critical illness is easily detected by perturbations of simple clinical observations such as blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate ...

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

Neutrophils in critical illness
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.
