Journal ArticleDOI

Lung ultrasound in critically ill patients: comparison with bedside chest radiography.

TL;DR: In the unselected general ICU population lung ultrasound has a considerably better diagnostic performance than CXR for the diagnosis of common pathologic conditions and may be used as an alternative to thoracic CT.
Journal ArticleDOI

Expression of Apoptotic and Antiapoptotic Markers in Epithelial Cells in Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

TL;DR: Results confirm that apoptotic hyperplastic epithelial cells are present in patients with IPF and that the expression of p53, p21, bax, and caspase-3 appears to be up-regulated and that of bcl-2 down-regulated in these cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Predictors of acute kidney injury in septic shock patients: an observational cohort study.

TL;DR: Higher baseline GFR and successful early goal directed resuscitation were associated with a decreased risk of AKI, and hospital mortality was significantly greater in patients who developed AKI.
Journal ArticleDOI

Proportional assist ventilation with load-adjustable gain factors in critically ill patients: comparison with pressure support

TL;DR: Compared to PS, PAV+ increases the probability of remaining on spontaneous breathing, while it considerably reduces the incidence of patient–ventilator asynchronies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk Factors for Development of Acute Kidney Injury in Critically Ill Patients: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Observational Studies

TL;DR: The best available evidence suggests an association of AKI with 13 different risk factors in subjects admitted to the ICU, and predictive models for identification of high risk individuals for developing AKI in all types of ICU are required.
