Accuracy of bedside glucose measurement from three glucometers in critically ill patients.

30 Oct 2008 OBJECTIVE: Implementation of strict glucose control in most intensive care units has resulted in increased use of point-of-care glucose devices in the intensive care unit. The aim of this study was to determine the reliability of point-of-care ... Read more...

A thromboelastometric evaluation of the effects of hypothermia on the coagulation system.

30 Oct 2008 BACKGROUND: Hypothermia may be accidental or therapeutic. Therapeutic hypothermia is increasingly used as treatment for various conditions, e.g., neuroprotection after cardiac arrest. Hypothermia leads to an impairment of the coagulation system, ... Read more...

Analysis of non-enzymatically glycated peptides: neutral-loss-triggered MS(3) versus multi-stage activation tandem mass spectrometry.

29 Sep 2008 Non-enzymatic glycation of tissue proteins has important implications in the development of complications of diabetes mellitus. While electron transfer dissociation (ETD) has been shown to outperform collision-induced dissociation (CID) in ... Read more...
