TL;DR: Neither high-dose intravenous administration of sodium selenite nor anti-infectious therapy guided by a procalcitonin algorithm was associated with an improved outcome in patients with severe sepsis.

TL;DR: These findings demonstrate that stress and motion sickness in humans are associated with impaired endocannabinoid activity and Enhancing ECS signaling may represent an alternative therapeutic strategy for motion Sickness in individuals who do not respond to currently available treatments.

TL;DR: Homozygous BclI G allele carriers are at risk for traumatic memories, posttraumatic stress disorder symptoms, and lower health-related quality of life after cardiac surgery and intensive care unit therapy.

TL;DR: The new formulas might better predict liver weight in organ donors and transplant recipients to avoid liver size mismatch and consider the age‐dependent effects of gender.

TL;DR: In patients with septic shock stress doses of HC exert beneficial effects in terms of improvements in hemodynamics, decrease in pro-inflammatory mediators, and oxidative stress without the compromise of opsonization-dependent phagocytic neutrophil functions; thus, HC treatment does not aggravate non-specific immunosuppression but instead improves innate immunity in the early stage of septicshock.
