Objective: Treatment and prevention of hyperglycemia has been advocated for subjects with sepsis. Glucose variability, rather than the glucose level, also shown to be an important factor associated in-hospital mortality, in general, critically ill patients. Our objective was determine association between variability hospital mortality septic patients expression that best reflects this risk. Design: Retrospective, single-center cohort study. Setting: Academic, tertiary care hospital....
To determine the association between body mass index (BMI) and hospital mortality for critically ill adults.Retrospective cohort study.One-hundred six intensive care units (ICUs) in 84 hospitals.Mechanically ventilated adults (n=1,488) with acute lung injury (ALI) included Project IMPACT database December 1995 September 2001.None.Over half of had a BMI above normal range. Unadjusted analyses showed that was higher among subjects who survived to discharge vs. those did not (p<.0001). ICU...
To determine the association between alcohol dependence (alcoholism not in remission and/or withdrawal) and sepsis, septic shock, hospital mortality among intensive care unit (ICU) patients.Retrospective cohort study.Two ICUs an urban hospital.Patients included 11,651 adult admissions to Denver Health Medical Center from January 1, 1999, December 31, 2004, with >or=1 ICU day.None.Of first appearing data set (n=9,981), 1,222 (12.2%) had a diagnosis consistent dependence. These patients higher...
The relationship between critical illness and psychiatric is unclear.To assess diagnoses medication prescriptions before after illness.Population-based cohort study in Denmark of critically ill patients 2006-2008 with follow-up through 2009, 2 matched comparison cohorts from hospitalized the general population.Critical defined as intensive care unit admission mechanical ventilation.Adjusted prevalence ratios (PRs) psychiatrist-diagnosed illnesses for psychoactive medications 5 years illness....
Nutrient removal is essential for aquaculture wastewater treatment to protect receiving water from eutrophication and potential reuse of the treated water. The integration with agriculture appears be an excellent way saving water, disposing providing fertilizer agricultural crop. study was conducted evaluate aquaponics recirculation system (ARS) performance in removing inorganic nitrogen phosphate using spinach (Ipomoea aquatica) mustard green (Brassica juncea). results showed that able...
Two mixed bacterial cultures isolated by soil enrichment were capable of utilizing methyl parathion (O,O-dimethyl O-p-nitrophenylphosphorothioate) and (O,O-diethyl as a sole source carbon. Four isolates from these lost their ability to utilize the pesticides independently in transfers subsequent initial isolation. One member cultures, Pseudomonas sp., however, hydrolyzed p-nitrophenol but required glucose or another carbon for growth. The crude cell extracts prepared this bacterium showed an...
Recirculating aquaculture–hydroponic systems were designed to provide an artificial, controlled environment that optimizes the growth of fish (or other aquatic species) and soil-less plants, complete control water quality, production schedule product, while conserving resources. Nutrients removal such as inorganic nitrogen phosphate is essential for aquaculture wastewater treatment protect receiving waters from eutrophication well potential reuse treated water. In this study, a prototype...
Fifteen bacteria capable of degrading carbofuran (2,3-dihydro-2,2-dimethyl-7-benzofuranyl methylcarbamate) were isolated from soil samples with a history pesticide application. All isolates gram negative and oxidase- catalase-positive rods; they occurred singly or as short chains. the identified belonged to one two genera, Pseudomonas Flavobacterium. They separated into three groups based on their mode utilization carbofuran. Six placed in group I; these utilized sole source nitrogen. Seven...
Rationale: Little is known about the consequences of intensivists' work schedules, or intensivist continuity care.Objectives: To assess impact weekend respite for intensivists, with consequent reduction in care, on them and their patients.Methods: In five medical intensive care units (ICUs) four academic hospitals we performed a prospective, cluster-randomized, alternating trial two staffing schedules. Daily coverage by single half-month rotations (continuous schedule) was compared weekday...
To determine the association between excess weight and processes of care outcomes for critically ill adults.Prospective cohort study.Three medical intensive units at two hospitals.Five hundred eighty mechanically ventilated adult patients admitted February 1, 2006 January 31, 2008.None.After adjusting based on recorded fluid balance before enrollment, 21.9% subjects were categorized into different body mass index categories than without this adjustment. We used a competing risk analysis with...
Nutraceuticals from natural sources have shown potential new leads in functional food products. Despite a broad range of health-promoting effects, these compounds are easily oxidized and unstable, making their utilization as nutraceutical ingredients limited. In this study, the encapsulated stingless bees' propolis liposome was prepared using soy phosphatidylcholine cholesterol by thin-film hydration technique. Three different formulations composition weight ratio conducted to extract high...
The use of two novel materials, 3,6-bis(1H-1,2,3,4-tetrazol-5-ylamino)-s-tetrazine (BTATz) and mixed N-oxides 3,3'-azo-bis(6-amino-1,2,4,5-tetrazine) (DAATO3.5, where the 3.5 indicates average oxide content), as solid fuels in micropropulsion systems is investigated. These materials were selected due to their ease ignition, relatively good safety characteristics, long-term storage capability, low combustion temperature, noncorrosive products, reasonable projected material cost. Material data...
