Effects of heat and moisture exchangers on minute ventilation, ventilatory drive, and work of breathing during pressure-support ventilation in acute respiratory failure.
TL;DR: The tested heat and moisture exchangers should be used carefully in patients with acute respiratory failure during pressure-support ventilation, since these devices substantially increase minute ventilation, ventilatory drive, and work of breathing.

TL;DR: This study shows that early and short-term TPN is effective in controlling the flow phase of trauma and glucose and insulin appear to be the determinants of the protein sparing effect when given in amounts equal to those needed.
Influence of total parenteral nutrition on protein metabolism following acute injury: assessment by urinary 3-methylhistidine excretion and nitrogen balance.
TL;DR: Urinary 3-methylhistidine role as a marker of protein catabolism is well established and its decrease under total parenteral nutrition together with greatly improved nitrogen balance demonstrates that the treatment can effectively quench protein catabolic activity, meanwhile enhancing protein synthesis.

TL;DR: Nitrogen intake proved to be the major determinant of a positive, or less negative, nitrogen balance, only secondarily followed by total energy intake corrected to predicted basal energy expenditure, according to multiple regression analysis.
