TL;DR: Arginine supplementation in septic patients has transient effects on hemodynamics when supplied as a bolus but seems without hemodynamic side effects when supplied continuously, suggesting arginine could have an essential role in infection and sepsis.

TL;DR: Current evidence from randomized trials is insufficient to conclude a benefit of PEMF or LIPUS bone growth stimulation in reducing the incidence of nonunions when used for treatment in acute fractures, however, this systematic review and meta-analysis suggest that PEMf or LipUS can be beneficial in the treatment of acute fractures regarding time to radiological and clinical union.

TL;DR: Initial resuscitation of critically ill patients with shock does not require monitoring of regional variables, and after stabilization, regional variables are the best predictors of outcome.

TL;DR: It was not possible to develop a GI dysfunction score, improving the performance of the SOFA score either due to data set limitations, definition problems, or possibly indicating that GI dysfunction is often secondary and not the primary cause of other organ failure.

TL;DR: Ingestion of a single meal-like amount of protein allows ~55% of the protein derived amino acids to become available in the circulation, thereby improving whole-body and leg protein balance.
