TL;DR: Identified using simple bedside clinical criteria, ICUAP was frequent during recovery from critical illness and was associated with a prolonged duration of mechanical ventilation, which suggests an important role of corticosteroids in the development ofICUAP.

TL;DR: Respiratory and limb muscle strength are both altered after 1 wk of mechanical ventilation, and septic shock before awakening was a contributor to respiratory weakness.

TL;DR: In critically ill adults with shock, early isocaloric enteral nutrition did not reduce mortality or the risk of secondary infections but was associated with a greater risk of digestive complications compared with early isocallyoric parenteral nutrition.

TL;DR: The clinical pulmonary infection score has low diagnostic accuracy; however, incorporating gram stains results into the score may help clinical decision making in patients with clinically suspected pneumonia.

TL;DR: Evidence of a significantly reduced survival in patients with neurolisteriosis treated with adjunctive dexamethasone is found, and the time window for fetal losses is determined, which is higher than reported elsewhere.
