TL;DR: Increased intakes of energy and protein appear to be associated with improved clinical outcomes in critically ill patients, particularly when BMI is <25 or ≥35, particularly in patients with a BMI <25 and ≥35.

TL;DR: Early provision of glutamine or antioxidants did not improve clinical outcomes, and glutamine was associated with an increase in mortality among critically ill patients with multiorgan failure.

TL;DR: This scoring algorithm may be helpful in identifying critically ill patients most likely to benefit from aggressive nutrition therapy in the intensive care unit (ICU), and based on the statistical significance in the multivariable model, the final score used all candidate variables except BMI.

TL;DR: Fibrosis, joint stiffness and edema adversely affect patient function as measured by the Musculoskeletal Tumor Rating Scale and the Toronto Extremity Salvage Score was evaluated.

TL;DR: Investigation of factors influencing the adequacy of energy and protein intake in the pediatric intensive care unit and their relationship to clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated children found intake of a higher percentage of prescribed dietary energy goal via enteral route was associated with improved 60-day survival; conversely, parenteral nutrition use was associatedWith higher mortality.
