TL;DR: In a trial involving critically ill patients with severe acute kidney injury, a delayed strategy averted the need for renal-replacement therapy in an appreciable number of patients and found no significant difference with regard to mortality.

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: If these results are confirmed in future interventional studies, it is recommended ICU admission with full-code management followed by reappraisal of the level of care on day 6 in all nonbedridden cancer patients for whom lifespan-extending cancer treatment is available.

TL;DR: Survival gains achieved in critically ill cancer patients in recent years extend to patients requiring ventilatory assistance, and the impact of conventional mechanical ventilation on survival depends on the time from ICU admission to conventional Mechanical ventilation and on the patient's response to noninvasive mechanical ventilation.

TL;DR: Both the excess mortality intoo-well patients later admitted to the ICU and the relatively good survival in too-sick patients suggest the need for a broader admission policy.
