The effects of selenium supplementation on clinical outcomes in mechanically ventilated, non-surgical/traumatic critically ill patients
<h2>Background: Selenium presents anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties which plays a critical role in nutrition of patients following devastating conditions. Furthermore, several lines of evidence reported that most of patients who admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) have lower plasm...
