Hyperglycemia is common in critically ill children. It does not appear to be associated with a particular diagnostic category but is significantly associated with the severity of illness. Severe hyperglycemia may be associated with complications, this in turn could result in end-organ dysfunction. A prospective, randomized trial of strict glycemic control in this subset of critically ill children who are at high risk of mortality is both warranted and feasible. Continuous insulin infusion can rapidly and safely improve intravenous glucose tolerance.

The sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) still represents one of the leading causes of death in critically ill patients, underscoring the need for novel therapies. Excessive activation of immune cells and damage of reactive oxygen species (ROS) are the main factors that exacerbate lung injury. Here, the multifaceted immunomodulatory nanocomplexes targeting the proinflammatory neutrophilic activation and ROS damage are established.

Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disease caused by the production of thyroid hormones in excessive amounts. Propylthiouracil (PTU) is one of the anti-thyroid drugs (ATD) used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism. Rectal PTU should be considered by physicians as a valuable option for managing hyperthyroidism as an alternative route of administration for patients who cannot tolerate oral medications.

Ischemia-reperfusion injuries (IRI) across various organs and tissues, along with sepsis, significantly contribute to the progression of critical illnesses. These conditions disrupt the balance of inflammatory mediators and signaling pathways, resulting in impaired physiological functions in human tissues and organs. Ferroptosis, a distinct form of programmed cell death, plays a pivotal role in regulating tissue damage and modulating inflammatory responses, thereby influencing the onset and progression of severe illnesses.

Background: Previous studies have demonstrated that the Naples Prognostic Score (NPS) provides strategic direction in the prognosis of malignant illness. Nevertheless, its relationship with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) remains underexplored. Therefore, additional research specifically focusing on the relationship between the Naples Prognostic Score and COPD is necessary to determine its widespread applicability.
