Metabolic acidosis in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock: a longitudinal quantitative study.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To describe the composition of metabolic acidosis in patients with severe sepsis and septic shock at intensive care unit admission and throughout the first 5 days of intensive care unit stay. DESIGN: Prospective, observational study. ... Read more...

Blood lactate monitoring in critically ill patients: a systematic health technology assessment.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To decide whether the use of blood lactate monitoring in critical care practice is appropriate. We performed a systematic health technology assessment as blood lactate monitoring has been implemented widely but its clinical value in ... Read more...

Transport stress in broilers: I. Blood metabolism, glycolytic potential, and meat quality.

29 Sep 2009 The effect of transport stress on blood metabolism, glycolytic potential, and meat quality in broilers was investigated. Arbor Acres chicks (n = 360, 1 d old, males) were randomly allotted to 1 of 5 treatments: unstressed control, 45-min ... Read more...
