Medicating patients during extracorporeal membrane oxygenation
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), which can support gas exchange or hemodynamics in patients with severe respiratory or cardiac failure, has demonstrated considerable evolution over the last decade [1], with a steady... read more
The Intensive Care Medicine Research Agenda in Nutrition and Metabolism

Resetting the Circadian Clock Might Boost Metabolic Health
This Medical News feature discusses the role of circadian clock in regulating metabolism. Over the past 20 years, scientists have assembled a clearer picture of the circadian clocks that keep human physiology tuned to the... read more
The Gut Microbiome and Its Role in Cardiovascular Diseases
The trimethylamine/TMAO pathway likely represents only one of many microbe-dependent pathways that will ultimately be linked to cardiovascular disease pathogenesis, and proven to be an important diagnostic and therapeutic... read more
Hypernatremia (Uggggh!)
Hyponatremia has become a little bit sexy. Not so with sodium that is too high. But I’ve seen a bunch of less than ideal management of hypernatremia, so I figured it is time to put out a podcast about it.... read more
