[ 1 ] - Randomized trial of the effect of magnesium sulfate continuous infusion on IL-6 and CRP serum levels following abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery
Background:Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is widely considered as the disease of elderly white men. Inflammation is one of the most well-known mechanisms involved in the pathogenesis of AAA. Magnesium is one of the most important minerals in the body with established anti-inflammatory effects. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of Mg loading following AAA surgery on two inflamma...
[ 2 ] - Optimal Aminoglycoside Therapy Following the Sepsis: How Much Is Too Much?
Severe sepsis and septic shock are major problems as the result of high rates morbidity andmortality in intensive care units (ICUs). In the presence of septic shock, each hour of delay inthe administration of effective antibiotics is associated with a measurable increase in mortality.Aminoglycosides are effective broad-spectrum antibiotics that are commonly used in ICUs forthe treatment of life...
[ 3 ] - Metformin Treatment in Hyperglycemic Critically Ill Patients: Another Challenge on the Control of Adverse Outcomes
New-onset hyperglycemia in patients admitted to intensive care units increases the risk of morbidity and mortality. Insulin resistance is frequently seen in the treatment of stress-induced hyperglycemia. Metformin, an oral anti-hyperglycemic agent, may introduce a new treatment protocol in critically ill patients with insulin-resistance hyperglycemia. Fifty-one non-diabetic traumatized patients...

Recently, an association between the occurrence of delirium and increased risk of dementia has been revealed. Several risk factors have been found to be related with the development of postoperative delirium. However, the three strategies include monitoring d...
