Anatomical context of Critical Illness

  • In conclusion, maintaining normoglycemia with intensive insulin therapy during critical illness protects the endothelium, likely in part via inhibition of excessive iNOS-induced NO release, and thereby contributes to prevention of organ failure and death [26].
  • Because critically ill patients show a marked suppression of T-cell and macrophage functions with a high susceptibility to infection, potential defects in the immunity/inflammation upregulating IL-12 IFN-gamma pathway were studied [27].
  • We find preliminary evidence that sucralfate is as efficacious as and more cost-effective than either cimetidine or antacids for prophylaxis of stress-related gastrointestinal tract bleeding in the critically ill ventilator-dependent patient [28].
  • These findings indicate that the prolonged administration of pharmcological doses of DA significantly reduced serum TSH levels and thyroid hormone secretion in normal and critically ill patients, most likely by a direct inhibition of pituitary TSH with a secondary effect on thyroid gland secretion [29].
  • VCAM-1-mediated leukocyte extravasation is implicated in several illnesses including atherosclerosis and multiple-organ failure in sepsis, and we hypothesize that enhanced expression of VCAM-1 may contribute to the detrimental effects of GH in critically ill patients [30].
