Article Synopsis
  • Recent studies showed that taking too much venlafaxine (a medication) can lead to low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, depending on how much is taken.
  • In a study of 21 patients in the Balearic Islands, 8 of them had low blood sugar after an overdose, and those with low blood sugar had much higher levels of the drug in their system.
  • Low blood sugar was linked to younger age, less alertness, and more serious health problems like seizures and needing to be treated in the ICU.

Background: Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) represents a transitory status of immunoparalysis, and we hypothesized that ventilator-associated tracheobronchitis (VAT) could share also some degree of immune response to a respiratory infection.

Research Design And Methods: A prospective observational study in five medical ICUs to evaluate immunological alterations of patients with VA-LRTI. Immunological gene expression profiles in the blood using whole transcriptome microarrays in the first 24 hours following diagnosis.
