Energy expenditure of acutely ill hospitalised patients
OBJECTIVE To measure energy expenditure of acutely ill elderly patients in hospital and following discharge in the community. DESIGN Sixty-three consecutive hospitalised acutely ill elderly patients were recruited. Eight patients were studied to assess the reliability of the Delta Tract Machine as a measure of energy expenditure; 35 patients had their energy expenditure studied in hospital on...
متن کاملASSESSMENT OF ENERGY EXPENDITURE AND ENERGY INTAKE IN CRITICALLY ILL PATIENTS Energy Expenditure and Intake in Critically Ill Patients
Objective: To measure the energy expenditure (EE) of critically ill patients and to determine the adequacy of energy intake in terms of nitrogen balance. Research Methods & Procedures: Indirect calorimetry was performed in 17 critically ill patients under mechanical ventilation in order to calculate EE, and 24 h urinary nitrogen excretion was determined in order to calculate the nitrogen balanc...
متن کاملHyperglycemia in acutely ill patients.
MOST PHYSICIANS WILL ENcounter acutely ill patients who develop hyperglycemia. A third of all persons admitted to an urban general hospital had fasting glucose levels exceeding 126 mg/dL (7 mmol/L), or 2 or more random glucose levels exceeding 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L); a third of those patients with hyperglycemia did not have a prior diagnosis of diabetes. Physicians often perceive hyperglycemia...
متن کاملAcutely Decreased Thermoregulatory Energy Expenditure or Decreased Activity Energy Expenditure Both Acutely Reduce Food Intake in Mice
Despite the suggestion that reduced energy expenditure may be a key contributor to the obesity pandemic, few studies have tested whether acutely reduced energy expenditure is associated with a compensatory reduction in food intake. The homeostatic mechanisms that control food intake and energy expenditure remain controversial and are thought to act over days to weeks. We evaluated food intake i...
متن کاملCorticosteroid insufficiency in acutely ill patients.
N Engl J Med 2003;348:727-34. Copyright © 2003 Massachusetts Medical Society. n increase in tissue corticosteroid levels during acute illness is an important protective response. Many diseases and their treatments interfere with the normal corticosteroid response to illness and thus induce tissue corticosteroid insufficiency. In this article, we review the physiology of the corticosteroid respo...
