Retracted PublicationDoes continuous heparinization influence platelet function in the intensive care patient?
To study the influence of continuous administration of heparin on platelet function in intensive care patients. ⋯ Continuous administration of heparin with an average dose of approximately 500 U/h did not negatively influence platelet function in the trauma patients. Recovery from reduced platelet function in the sepsis group was not affected by continuous heparinization. Thus, continuous heparinization with this dose appears to be safe with regard to platelet function in the intensive care patient.

Retracted PublicationDoes age influence circulating adhesion molecules in the critically ill?
Soluble adhesion molecules are regarded to be markers of inflammation, endothelial activation, or damage. The influence of age on plasma concentrations of circulating adhesion molecules should be serially studied in critically ill intensive care patients. ⋯ The higher plasma concentrations of the measured adhesion molecules in elderly critically ill patients indicate that elderly patients are more prone than younger patients to a more pronounced activation or even damage of the endothelium. Further work needs to be done to determine the prognostic importance and to define the role of soluble adhesion molecules, particularly in the elderly critically ill patient.

Review Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial Retracted PublicationInfluence of different volume therapies and pentoxifylline infusion on circulating soluble adhesion molecules in critically ill patients.
To study the influence of long-term volume therapy with different solutions and continuous administration of pentoxifylline on plasma concentrations of circulating adhesion molecules. ⋯ Sepsis is associated with markedly increased plasma concentrations of adhesion molecules, indicating endothelial activation or damage. By long-term volume therapy with hydroxyethal starch solution, these concentrations remained unchanged or even decreased, whereas in patients in whom human albumin was infused or pentoxifylline was given continuously, plasma concentration of soluble adhesion molecules further increased.
