Plasma proenkephalin A 119 –159 on intensive care unit admission is a predictor of organ failure and 30-day mortality
Proenkephalin A 119-159 (penKid) has been suggested as a marker of renal failure and poor outcome. We aimed to investigate the association of penKid on ICU admission with organ dysfunction and mortality in a m... (Source: Intensive Care Medicine Experimental)

Pulmonary and intestinal microbiota dynamics during Gram-negative pneumonia-derived sepsis
The gut microbiome plays a protective role in the host defense against pneumonia. The composition of the lung microbiota has been shown to be predictive of clinical outcome in critically ill patients. However,... (Source: Intensive Care Medicine Experimental)

Preservation of renal endothelial integrity and reduction of renal edema by aprotinin does not preserve renal perfusion and function following experimental cardiopulmonary bypass
Acute kidney injury is a severe complication following cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and is associated with capillary leakage and microcirculatory perfusion disturbances. CPB-induced thrombin release results in... (Source: Intensive Care Medicine Experimental)
