Nutrition support of the chronically critically ill patient.

Published: July 2002

Providing nutrition and metabolic support to the CCI patient is based on the rational application of scientifically derived data and clinical experience with this unique population. Much of the data presented has been extrapolated from the critically ill ICU patients and the chronically ill hospitalized or nursing home patient, as there are limited data solely based on an experience with the CCI [table: see text] patient population. The key principles are: (1) primacy of protein provision and avoidance of overfeeding energy, (2) use of combined modality (enteral, parenteral, and oral) nutrition to meet needs as required, (3) use of adjunctive agents to promote nitrogen retention when needed, and (4) recognition of and adjustment for altered nutrient requirements (Table 3).

Introduction: The escalating resistance of microorganisms to antimicrobials poses a significant public health threat. Strategies that use biomarkers to guide antimicrobial therapy-most notably Procalcitonin (PCT) and C-reactive protein (CRP)-show promise in safely reducing patient antibiotic exposure. While CRP is less studied, it offers advantages such as lower cost and broader availability compared with PCT.

Approximately half of critically ill adults experience intensive care unit acquired weakness (ICUAW). Patients who develop ICUAW may have negative outcomes, including longer duration of mechanical ventilation, greater length of stay, and worse mobility, physical functioning, quality of life, and mortality. Early physical rehabilitation interventions have potential for improving ICUAW; however, randomized trials show inconsistent findings on the efficacy of these interventions.

Objective: High glycemic variability (GV) often indicates a poor prognosis. Our aim is to investigate the relationship between GV and short and long-term mortality in critically ill heart failure (HF) patients.

Methods: We extracted data from the Medical Information Mart for Intensive Care IV database.

Discovering the climate dependent disease transmission mechanism through learning-explaining framework.

School of Mathematics and Statistics, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an, Shaan Xi, 710049, PR China. Electronic address:

There are evidence showing that meteorological factors, such as temperature and humidity, have critical effects on transmission of some infectious diseases, while quantifying the influence is challenging. In this study we develop a learning-explaining framework to discover the particular dependence of transmission mechanisms on meteorological factors based on multiple source data. The incidence rate based on the epidemic data and epidemic model is theoretically identified, and meanwhile the practical discovery of particular formula is feasible through deep neural networks (DNN), symbolic regression (SR) and sparse identification of nonlinear dynamics (SINDy).

Co-infections with Bordetella bronchiseptica in canine: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Department of Infectious Disease, College of Veterinary Medicine, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea; Research Institute for Veterinary Science and BK21, Seoul National University, Seoul, Korea. Electronic address:

Background: Bordetella bronchiseptica is a primary pathogen in canine infectious respiratory disease (CIRD), or kennel cough, capable of independently causing respiratory illness and contributing significantly to co-infections with other viral and bacterial agents. Despite its critical role in disease transmission and persistence, the epidemiology of B. bronchiseptica in CIRD remains poorly understood.
