Carotid artery revascularization through a radiated field by Lesèche, Guy

“…Radiation-induced accelerated atherosclerosis has been recognized for some time.1, 2, 3 and 4 Because of the prolonged survival of patients treated with radiation,5 the frequency of this long-term side effect is expected to increase. In a prospective study, late (>70%) carotid artery stenosis was found in 11.7% of 240 patients who had undergone cervical irradiation.6 The chronic effects of radiation therapy lead to decreased vascularity and increased fibrosis, which in turn lead to risk for tissue necrosis, infection, and ulceration. …”

Relationship Between Hyperglycemia and Infection in Critically Ill Patients by Btaiche, Imad F.

“…Until 2001, hyperglycemia (blood glucose concentrations up to 220 mg/dl) had been tolerated in critically ill patients not only because high blood glucose concentrations were believed to be a normal physiologic reaction in stressed patients and excess glucose is necessary to support the energy needs of glucose-dependent organs, but also because the true significance of short-term hyperglycemia was not known. Recent clinical data show that the use of intensive insulin therapy to maintain tight blood glucose concentrations between 80 and 110 mg/dl decreases morbidity and mortality in critically ill surgical patients. …”
