Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy01:24

Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapies (CBTs) are grounded in the belief that our thoughts profoundly influence our emotions and actions. Advocates of CBT emphasize three core assumptions: first, that cognitions are identifiable and measurable; second, that they are central to psychological functioning; and third, that irrational or maladaptive beliefs can be replaced with rational and adaptive ones. This transformative approach to therapy has paved the way for specific models such as Albert Ellis's...
Energy Balance01:19

Energy Balance

The human body gets energy from the three macronutrients: carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. Energy is released when the chemical bonds in the organic compounds present in the food are broken down. The energy content of food is measured in kilocalories (kcal), defined as the amount of heat required to raise the temperature of one kilogram of water by one degree Celsius. This value is determined by measuring the temperature change of the water surrounding a calorimeter after the complete...
Behavior Therapy01:22

Behavior Therapy

Behavior therapy incorporates diverse techniques rooted in classical conditioning principles to address maladaptive behaviors and anxiety disorders. These methods aim to reduce avoidance behaviors, foster adaptive coping mechanisms, and alter associations between stimuli and responses, making them effective in a wide range of therapeutic contexts.
Exposure therapy is a cornerstone of behavioral treatment for anxiety disorders. It involves systematic exposure to feared stimuli, either in real...
Cognitive Therapy01:25

Cognitive Therapy

Cognitive therapy, pioneered by Aaron T. Beck in the 1960s, is a structured approach to addressing psychological distress by focusing on the influence of thoughts on emotions and behaviors. All cognitive therapies involve the basic assumption that human beings have control over their feelings, and that how individuals feel about something depends on how they think about it. Unlike psychoanalytic methods that delve into unconscious processes or humanistic approaches emphasizing...
Humanistic Therapy01:24

Humanistic Therapy

Humanistic therapies emphasize personal growth, self-understanding, and the fulfillment of human potential. Rooted in the belief that individuals inherently strive toward self-actualization, these approaches encourage clients to explore their feelings and experiences in a supportive, nonjudgmental environment. Humanistic therapies differ from psychodynamic approaches by focusing on conscious experiences, present circumstances, and the potential for self-improvement rather than past conflicts...
Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy01:26

Psychosis: Goals of Pharmacotherapy

Antipsychotic drugs are a crucial treatment method for acute and chronic psychoses, bipolar illness, and behavioral disorders. The selection of these drugs depends on several factors, including the state of the disease, clinical judgment, possible drug interactions, and the patient's sensitivity to adverse effects. In immediate scenarios, such as delirium and dementia, short-term treatment with low doses of high-potency typical or atypical agents can effectively manage symptom exacerbation. For...

Area of Science:

  • Critical care medicine
  • Nutritional support
  • Clinical nutrition

Background:

  • Protein calorie malnutrition is a significant concern in critically ill patients.
  • Optimal nutritional strategies to improve outcomes remain under investigation.
  • Current literature lacks prospective studies defining ideal calorie and protein targets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of specific calorie and protein intake levels on survival in critically ill patients.
  • To determine if meeting energy requirements influences patient outcomes.
  • To assess the effect of protein administration exceeding 1.2 g/kg/day on survival.

Main Methods:

  • Prospective observational study design.
  • Utilized indirect calorimetry to determine individual calorie requirements.
  • Monitored daily protein intake in grams per kilogram of body weight.

Main Results:

  • Patients achieving their calculated calorie target demonstrated improved survival rates.
  • A protein intake greater than 1.2 g/kg per day was associated with enhanced survival.
  • The study provides new insights into nutritional management in critical care.

Conclusions:

  • Meeting energy expenditure targets is crucial for improving survival in critically ill patients.
  • Higher protein administration ( >1.2 g/kg/day) may be beneficial for survival.
  • Further research is warranted to establish definitive nutritional guidelines for critically ill populations.
