Journal ArticleDOI

Reduced rate of MDROs after introducing ‘water-free patient care’ on a large intensive care unit in the Netherlands

TL;DR: Sinks and the proximity of water in the patient zone are associated with outbreaks and environmental contamination of the patient surroundings is considered of importance in acquiring hospital-associated infections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prophylactic Haloperidol Effects on Long-term Quality of Life in Critically Ill Patients at High Risk for Delirium: Results of the REDUCE Study.

TL;DR: Prophylactic haloperidol use does not affect long-term quality of life in critically ill patients at high risk for delirium, and several factors, including the modifiable factor number of sedation-induced coma days, are associated with decline in long- term outcomes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endotoxemia-Induced Release of Pro-inflammatory Mediators Are Associated With Increased Glomerular Filtration Rate in Humans in vivo .

TL;DR: Concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines, but not blood pressure, are correlated with the endotoxemia-induced increase in GFR in healthy volunteers, suggesting that inflammatory mediators orchestrate the augmented GFR observed in a subgroup of sepsis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human in vivo neuroimaging to detect reprogramming of the cerebral immune response following repeated systemic inflammation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the trajectory of the immune response systemically and within the brain following repeated lipopolysaccharide (LPS) challenges was examined in healthy volunteers and the systemic immune response was assessed by measuring plasma cytokine levels.
