Methods This is a subsequent analysis of the original prospective observational study run in 36 intensive care units in France, Spain and Switzerland over a three month period. All patients requiring intubation and MV were enrolled. MV modality, results of spontaneous breathing trials (SBT) and extubation, therapeutic limitation as well as survival were daily collected until ICU discharge or da...

Early weaning is a management practice that reduces grazing pressure on pastures by decreasing the nutrient requirements of cows. Calves that are weaned early are relatively efficient at converting feed to gain, and can weigh as much, or more than, calves allowed to remain with their dams until a conventional weaning age is reached. Balanced diets with excellent physical, chemical, and palatabi...

Although most commercial feed companies are currently fortifying their swine diets with the maximum allowable limit of inorganic Se (.3 ppm) and relatively high dietary vitamin E levels, the vitamin E-Se deficiency is still occurring on many swine farms. The periods where the deficiency is more likely to occur is in the neonate, at weaning, and during the reproductive period. It has been demons...

Nutrition of weanling pigs remains a key topic of interest in pig production because a good start in the post-weaning period is critical in the subsequent growth, development and survival of pigs through to market. The overriding aim of nutritional programmes is to transition pigs from relatively high-cost diets eaten in smaller quantities to less expensive diets that weaner pigs consume in gre...

Respiratory muscle dysfunction is associated with prolonged and difficult weaning from mechanical ventilation. This dysfunction in ventilator-dependent patients is multifactorial: there is evidence that inspiratory muscle weakness is partially explained by disuse atrophy secondary to ventilation, and positive end-expiratory pressure can further reduce muscle strength by negatively shifting the ...
