    Abstract : Critical care has undergone several developments in the recent years leading to improved survival. However, acquired muscle weakness in the intensive care unit (ICU) is an important complication that affects severely ill patients and can prolong their ICU stay. READ MORE

  4. 2. Mechanisms Underlying Intensive Care Unit Muscle Wasting : Intervention Strategies in an Experimental Animal Model and in Intensive Care Unit Patients

    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; acute quadriplegic myopathy; intensive care unit; myosin; regulation of contraction; muscle atrophy; mechanical loading; mobilization; Clinical Neurophysiology; Klinisk neurofysiologi;

    Abstract : Critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) commonly develop severe muscle wasting and weakness and consequently impaired muscle function. This not only delays respirator weaning and ICU discharge, but has deleterious effects on morbidity, mortality, financial costs, and quality of life of survivors. READ MORE

  5. 3. Critical illness myopathy : effects of specific intervention strategies and molecular mechanisms

    Author : Rebeca Corpeño Kalamgi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Skeletal muscles are a tissue with remarkable adaptability and are essential in the body in many aspects. The homeostasis of the muscles is vital for the maintenance of the body, thus muscle damage is associated with several diseases and leads to a poor quality of life. READ MORE
