Reduction of nosocomial pneumonia after major burns by trace element supplementation: aggregation of two randomised trials
INTRODUCTION Nosocomial pneumonia is a major source of morbidity and mortality after severe burns. Burned patients suffer trace element deficiencies and depressed antioxidant and immune defences. This study aimed at determining the effect of trace element supplementation on nosocomial or intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired pneumonia. METHODS Two consecutive, randomised, double-blinded, supplem...
متن کاملAltered antioxidant and trace-element status in adolescent female gymnasts.
Physical activity is associated with the generation of reactive oxygen species and may lead to decreased levels of plasma antioxidants and increased oxidant stress. Some studies have reported that antioxidant supplements can reduce the consequences of oxidative stress during exercise. In this study the authors aimed to assess the chronic effects of exercise on endogenous serum antioxidant enzym...
متن کاملAssessing the trace element status of man.
Recent developments in human trace element nutrition have revealed the need for adequate means of assessing trace element status but, with the notable exception of iron, methods remain grossly inadequate. This applies to the detection of clinically significant deficiency states and even more to the detection of minor deviations from optimal tissue reserves. There is a disturbing tendency for ov...
متن کاملThe influence of a slow-release multi-trace element ruminal bolus on trace element status, number of ovarian follicles and pregnancy outcomes in synchronized Afshari ewes
Published data on the effects of ruminal bolus on the number of ovulatory follicles in ewes does not exist. The present study determined the effects of a ruminal bolus on trace element status, follicular dynamics and reproductive performance in ewes. Eighty Afshari cycling ewes were synchronized during breeding season using CIDR for 14 days and assigned to 4 groups (n=20); group 1 received a si...
متن کاملTrace Element Estimation – Methods & Clinical Context
Understanding the effects of trace metals on human health is as complex as it is fascinating. As mentioned earlier, the high concentrations may prove toxic, as also, depletion in the concentration of the essential trace elements may cause various metabolic instabilities due to enzyme dysfunction. In the era of rapid industrialization and technological advances, it is imperative to watch keenly ...
