Open AccessAbnormal DNA methylation within HPA-axis genes years after paediatric critical illness
Critically ill children suffer from impaired physical/neurocognitive development 2 years later. Glucocorticoid treatment alters DNA methylation within the hypothalamus–pituitary–adrenal (HPA) axis which may im...

Open AccessAbnormal DNA methylation within genes of the steroidogenesis pathway two years after paediatric critical illness and association with stunted growth in height further in time
Former critically ill children show an epigenetic age deceleration 2 years after paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) admission as compared with normally develo** healthy children, with stunted growth in he...

Open AccessLong-term impact of paediatric critical illness on the difference between epigenetic and chronological age in relation to physical growth
Altered DNA-methylation affects biological ageing in adults and developmental processes in children. DNA-methylation is altered by environmental factors, trauma and illnesses. We hypothesised that paediatric c...

Open AccessDifferential DNA methylation by early versus late parenteral nutrition in the PICU: a biological basis for its impact on emotional and behavioral problems documented 4 years later
The PEPaNIC multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) has shown that early administration of supplemental parenteral nutrition (early-PN) as compared with withholding PN for 1 week (late-PN) induced long-t...

Open AccessTime course of altered DNA methylation evoked by critical illness and by early administration of parenteral nutrition in the paediatric ICU
A genome-wide study identified de novo DNA methylation alterations in leukocytes of children at paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) discharge, offering a biological basis for their impaired long-term developmen...

Glucose Control in the Intensive Care Unit
Most critically ill patients develop hyperglycemia, the degree of which is associated with mortality. However, randomized controlled trials investigating tight glucose control have found a divergent impact on ...

Circulating Levels of the Shed Scavenger Receptor sCD163 and Association with Outcome of Critically Ill Patients
CD163, a scavenger receptor for haptoglobin-hemoglobin complexes, is almost exclusively expressed by monocytes and macrophages and is shedded (as sCD163) by inflammatory stimuli. Thus, high serum levels of sCD...
