Article Synopsis
- The study investigates oxidative stress levels in ICU patients by measuring total oxidant level (TOS), total antioxidant level (TAS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) before treatment starts.
- In total, 153 patients were analyzed, along with 60 healthy controls, revealing significantly higher TOS and OSI in patients, indicating elevated oxidative stress.
- The findings show that patients also had increased levels of inflammation markers like ferritin, C-reactive protein (CRP), and procalcitonin (PCT), suggesting a strong correlation between oxidative stress and inflammation in critically ill individuals.
Article Synopsis
- Prolonged weaning in elderly patients is linked to worse clinical outcomes, prompting the study of diaphragm ultrasound as a tool to evaluate weaning in critically ill patients aged 65 and older.
- The study involved 32 patients who were mechanically ventilated, measuring diaphragm thickness and excursion at intubation and during spontaneous breathing trials.
- Results indicated that diaphragm excursion during spontaneous breathing trials correlated with weaning success, suggesting that ultrasound assessments could be a valuable addition to traditional methods like the rapid shallow breathing index in determining extubation readiness.
Objective: To develop a scoring system to identify patients at an early stage who will need palliative care during intensive care follow-up.
Study Design: Analytical study.
Place And Duration Of Study: Ankara City Hospital, Neurology and Orthopaedics Hospital, General Intensive Care Unit, Ankara, Turkiye, from June 2019 to March 2020.
Introduction: Sarcopenia and frailty are critical factors linked with poor clinical outcomes among elderly individuals. This study aims to investigate the association between nutritional assessment tests and frailty with muscle thickness measured by ultrasound and their relationship with weaning among critically ill elderly patients.
Materials And Methods: Patients who were over 65 years old and required invasive ventilation were assessed for nutritional status and clinical frailty scale upon admission to the intensive care unit.
Backround/aim: To identify, at an early stage of intensive care, patients who will require readmission to the intensive care unit (ICU) based on their National Early Warning Score (NEWS-d) at discharge.
Materials And Methods: Overall, 536 patients aged >18 years who stayed at a tertiary ICU for >24 h were included. Patients who readmitted and not readmitted to the intensive care within 48 h after discharge were compared.
Linezolid and dexamethasone experience in a serious case of listeria rhombencephalitis.

February 2017
Listeria rhombencephalitis is a rare cause of brain stem encephalitis. We report a case with a history of immunosupressive therapy due to Takayasu's arteritis that was treated with corticosteroids and linezolid for Listeria rhombencephalitis. A 63-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital with fever, headache, nausea, and vomiting.

1. Ischaemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury, one of the main causes of acute renal failure, still needs satisfactory treatment for routine clinical application. Stobadine, a novel synthetic pyridoindole anti-oxidant, has the ability to reduce tissue injury induced by mechanisms involving reactive oxygen species during I/R.
