TL;DR: Enteral administration of lipid-enriched nutrition was previously shown to attenuate inflammation and organ damage via a cholecystokinin-mediated vagovagal reflex in animal studies, and this proof-of-principle study investigates the immunomodulatory potential of enteral lipid- enriched and protein-en enriched nutrition during experimental human endotoxemia.

TL;DR: The use of a CP for all post-operative cardiac surgery patients in the ICU is sustainable, and while more complex patients were treated according to the CP, clinical outcome improved in the CP group.

TL;DR: The interplay between oxygen status adjustment and the innate immune response in humans in vivo has not been investigated and hypoxia and hyperoxia could be cheap, non-pharmacological,non-invasive treatment modalities to modulate inflammatory conditions.

TL;DR: ICU management of hypoxemic acute respiratory failure in SOT recipients translated into a low ICU mortality rate, whatever the transplanted organ or the acute respiratory fail cause.
