Ten take-home messages on vasopressin use in critically ill patients.
Med Intensiva (Engl Ed)
December 2024
The most used vasopressors in critically ill patients are exogenous catecholamines, mainly norepinephrine. Their use can be associated with serious adverse events and even increased mortality, especially if administered at high doses. In recent years, the addition of vasopressin has been proposed to counteract the deleterious effects of high doses of catecholamines (decatecholaminization) with the intention of improving the prognosis of these patients.

- Progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP) is a rare neurodegenerative disease linked to abnormal tau protein accumulation, and previous studies were limited in exploring rare genetic variants due to the use of genotype arrays.* -
- In this study, whole genome sequencing (WGS) on a large cohort allowed researchers to confirm known genetic loci related to PSP and discover new associations, particularly highlighting a different role for the APOE ε2 allele compared to Alzheimer's disease.* -
- The findings expand knowledge of PSP's genetic underpinnings and identify potential targets for future research into the disease's mechanisms and treatments.*
Introduction: medical nutritional treatment (MNT) can be complex and may be associated with potential metabolic complications, which has been recently described as nutritrauma. Objective: the aim of our work is to describe whether the application of the nutritrauma concept in real life is feasible and useful to detect the metabolic complications associated with the prescription of MNT. Material and methods: in this descriptive, prospective study at a single center we enrolled 30 consecutive critically ill patients in a 14-bed medical-surgical intensive care unit.
