Intensive Care

As per available reports about 100 journals, 162 Conferences, 30 workshops are presently dedicated exclusively to Intensive care and about 366282 articles are being published on the current trends in Intensive care. In terms of research annually, USA, India, Japan, Brazil and Canada are some of the leading countries where maximum studies related to proteomics are being carried out. As reported in article-Marcellino Monda” Role of Orexin in Obese Patients in the Intensive Care Unit” - Understanding the regulation of appetite and energy expenditure mechanisms is essential for the health and disease. The recognition that the distribution of these regulatory mechanisms plays a central role in the pathogenesis of obesity and associated metabolic syndrome is not new, and it is even more interesting to understand what happens in an obese patient in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). This review focuses on the catabolic role of orexin, which paradoxically coexists with its anabolic feeding-inducing role.

The goal of this review is to provide insight into the biological mechanism governing orexin’s role in energy expenditure, discuss its significance in the context of ICU. Mammals possess a specialized tissue termed Brown Adipose Tissue (BAT) that expends calories to counteract hypothermia. The ability to enhance energy expenditure by manipulating BAT activity is attractive from a therapeutic standpoint, in light of the discovery of metabolically active BAT in adult humans. The finding of a relationship between BAT and orexins levels suggests new research on the possible roles of orexins in many anomalies of energy expenditure, including those of obese patients in the ICU.

The Journal of Anesthesia & Clinical Research is an academic journal – hosted by OMICS International – a pioneer in open access publishing–and is listed among the top 10 journals in Journal of Anesthesia & Clinical Research. Each year research scientists have noticed a rise in the number of congresses being held in this field. The Journal of Anesthesia & Clinical Research provides a unique platform to researchers and scientist to explore the advanced and developments in the field of Intensive care, thus bridging the gap between researchers and young scientists.
