Extra Corporeal Life Support (ECLS) may be a life-saving treatment for patients with reversible cardiac and/or respiratory failure. ECLS is associated with a high risk of complications and mortality. Because only a small number of studies have been conducted into the long-term effects of ECLS, we investigated the difference in quality of life, anxi...

Burn patients feel a lot of physiological and mental stress during treatment and rehabilitation which often cause anxiety and body image dissatisfaction. This study aimed to compare the effects of the Benson relaxation technique and nature sounds on pain anxiety and body image in burn-injured patients admitted to a burn intensive care unit (BICU). ...

As calcium silicate hydrate (C-S-H) is the main binding phase in concrete, understanding the doping behavior of impurity elements in it is important for optimizing the structure of cementitious materials. However, most of the current studies focus on cement clinker, and the doping mechanism of impurity elements in hydrated calcium silicate is not y...

Objective. The ability to synchronize continuous electroencephalogram (cEEG) signals with physiological waveforms such as electrocardiogram (ECG), invasive pressures, photoplethysmography and other signals can provide meaningful insights regarding coupling between brain activity and other physiological subsystems. Aligning these datasets is a parti...

Purpose Delirium is common during critical illness and is associated with poor outcomes. Therefore, we conducted this meta-analysis to investigate the efficacy and safety of haloperidol for the treatment of delirium in critically ill patients. Methods Randomized controlled trials enrolling critically ill adult patients to compare haloperidol with p...

The purpose of this study was to examine the association between the dietary antioxidant quality score (DAQS) and the severity of Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The present case–control study was carried out on 295 patients diagnosed with COVID-19 (≥18 years old), including 104 critical patients (Intensive care unit [ICU] admission) and 191 C...
Personalization of ICU nutrition is essential to future of critical care. Recommendations from American/European guidelines and practice suggestions incorporating recent literature are presented. Low-dose enteral nutrition (EN) or parenteral nutrition (PN) can be started within 48 h of admission. While EN is preferred route of delivery, new data hi...

Predicting ICU inpatients mortality index needs to be improved to incorporate clinical data. It is also helpful to reflect the patient’s recovery and hospitals standards. In this research machine learning model LightGBM was trained and assessed. This study used a dataset for ICU admissions for adult patients from six countries. And a total of 130,0...
