Assessment and treatment of hyperglycemia in critically ill patients
A hiperglicemia é um problema frequentemente encontrado em pacientes graves em ambiente de terapia intensiva. Sua presença se associa ao aumento da morbidade e da mortalidade, independentemente da causa da admissão (infarto agudo do miocárdio, condição após cirurgia cardiovascular, acidente vascular cerebral e sepse). Entretanto, permanecem muitas dúvidas com relação à fisiopatologia e, particularmente, em relação ao tratamento da hiperglicemia no paciente graves.

Impact of early versus late enteral nutrition on cell mediated immunity and its relationship with Glucagon Like Peptide-1 in intensive care unit patients: a prospective study
Conclusions: Our findings suggest that early enteral feeding may cause amelioration in cell mediated immunity via factors other than GLP-1 in ICU patients with acute thromboembolic stroke. However, the possible deleterious effects of parenteral nutrition cannot be ruled out.

Dysphagia as a predictor of outcome and transition to palliative care among middle cerebral artery ischemic stroke patients
This study determined some predictors of early transition to palliative level of care among patients with acute ischemic MCA stroke with dysphagia. Methods: This is a retrospective cohort study. Demographic and clinical data of patients presenting to Hartford Hospital with an acute ischemic stroke between January 2005-December 2010 were gathered utilizing the Stroke Center at Hartford Hospital Database.

Acute stroke, dysphagia and nutritional support.
Abstract Annually, an estimated 152000 people in the UK have a stroke, accounting for 11% of all deaths in England and Wales, but for those that survive, nutrition is key to the body's recovery. Consequences of malnutrition can include increased susceptibility to infection, delayed healing, impaired cardiovascular function, decreased muscle strength and depression. Given the complex nature of post-stroke dysphagia, it may not be possible that simple screening tools sufficiently identify those at risk of aspiration. If a patient is deemed unsafe or unable to meet their nutrition and hydration needs orally, guidelin...
