organ failure, the latter often being the cause of death. Most ICU patients, even those who did not previously suffer from diabetes, are hyperglycemic, which is presumed to reflect an adaptive development of insulin resistance. Marik and Preiser reviewed seven randomly controlled studies, including over 11,000 ICU patients, and found that TGC did not reduce the 28-day mortality (odds ratio 0.95...

Glycaemic control of the critically ill has been a topic of considerable interest in the critical care community since the publication of a single-centre randomised controlled trial (RCT) of intensive insulin therapy (IIT) targeting euglycaemia, blood glucose (BG) 80-110 mg/dL, in a population of mechanically ventilated surgical intensive care unit (ICU) patients, 63% of whom had undergone card...

We show that the category of orbits of the bounded derived category of a hereditary category under a well-behaved autoequivalence is canonically triangulated. This answers a question by Aslak Buan, Robert Marsh and Idun Reiten which appeared in their study [8] with M. Reineke and G. Todorov of the link between tilting theory and cluster algebras (cf. also [16]) and a question by Hideto Asashiba...

The increased oxidative stress in critically ill patients could exert pathophysiological role in the pathogenesis of multiple organ failures, as suggested by recent clinical trials of antioxidant therapies. Prophylactic administration of antioxidant vitamins or glutamine, incorporated in the nutritional support or given as sepasituation and could be influenced by several current therapeutic int...
