Effect of a music intervention on anxiety in adult critically ill patients: a multicenter randomized clinical trial
Since anxiety may be under-detected but is burdensome for patients, there is a need for effective non-pharmacologic interventions that are widely applicable and effective. Based on the previous, we hypothesize that music may positively influence anxiety, but since research on the effect of music on anxiety in wakeful ICU patients is scarce, authors studied the effect of a music intervention on anxiety in critically ill patients.

Prognostic implication of downregulated exosomal miRNAs in patients with sepsis: a cross-sectional study with bioinformatics analysis
Despite the understanding of sepsis-induced extracellular vesicles (EVs), such as exosomes, and their role in intercellular communication during sepsis, little is known about EV contents such as microRNA (miRNA), which modulate important cellular processes contributing to sepsis in body fluids. This study aimed to analyze the differential expression of exosomal miRNAs in plasma samples collected from sepsis patients and healthy controls, and to identify potential miRNA regulatory pathways contributing to sepsis pathogenesis.

Society affiliation and support of APC
Journal of Intensive Care is the official journal of the Japanese Society of Intensive Care Medicine (JSICM).
In 2023, the Society sponsors 50% of the Journal’s APC for the articles so that the author is charged only 50%.
Authors are able to request this support during the post-acceptance process. There is no need to submit institution code at the time of manuscript submission. At the time of submission please 'agree to pay APC list price' to proceed and request for discount afterwards.

Pro-Con debate articles
Journal of Intensive Care publish set of articles that discuss given topic from opposing standpoints.
Topic 1:
Acute glycemic control in diabetics. How sweet is optimal?
Pro: Sweeter is better in diabetes
Con: Just as sweet as in nondiabetic is better
Topic 2:
Aggressive fluid management in the critically ill patients.
Pro: fluids should be aggressively managed in critically ill patients
Con: “aggressive” may lead to “excessive”
Topic 3:
Is Anti-coagulation therapy effective for septic DIC?
Pro: A question is “what are the optimal targets for anticoagulant therapies?”
Con: Should we treat sepsis-induced DIC with anticoagulants?
