Differential contractile response of critically ill patients to neuromuscular electrical stimulation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
BACKGROUND: Neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) has been investigated as a preventative measure for intensive care unit-acquired weakness. Trial results remain contradictory and therefore inconclusive.

Intensive insulin therapy in critically ill patients.

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2001
BACKGROUND Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance are common in critically ill patients, even if they have not previously had diabetes. Whether the normalization of blood glucose levels with insulin therapy improves the prognosis for such patients is not ...

Unlocking the potential of tumor‐derived DNA in urine for cancer detection: methodological challenges and opportunities

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...

Ill-posedness for subcritical hyperdissipative Navier-Stokes equations in the largest critical spaces [PDF]

open access: yesJ. Math. Phys. 53, 115620 (2012), 2012
We study the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with a fractional Laplacian and prove the existence of discontinuous Leray-Hopf solutions in the largest critical space with arbitrarily small initial data.

Antioxidants in Critical Illness [PDF]

open access: yesArchives of Surgery, 2001
Oxidative stress has been implicated in the manifestations of critical illnesses, including ischemia and reperfusion injury and systemic inflammatory states. This review describes the evidence for increased oxidative stress in critically ill patients and explores the data regarding antioxidant therapy for these conditions.

Subpar reporting of pre‐analytical variables in RNA‐focused blood plasma studies

open access: yesMolecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical variables strongly influence the analysis of extracellular RNA (cell‐free RNA; exRNA) derived from blood plasma. Their reporting is essential to allow interpretation and replication of results. By evaluating 200 exRNA studies, we pinpoint a lack of reporting pre‐analytical variables associated with blood collection, plasma preparation ...
