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).

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
Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2000Critical illness polyneuropathy (CIP) is common among patients in intensive care units (ICUs). However, it is rarely diagnosed in patients in most ICUs, because of the lack of knowledge, difficulties in clinical assessment, and failure to perform electrophysiologic studies.

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.

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 ...

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.
