![]() The control group received regular protein dosing, and the experimental group received a higher dose. They also had to have one of five nutritional risk factors, like low or high body mass index, malnutrition, or frailty. ![]() The patients had to have been in the ICU 96 hours or less, with the expectation that they would remain on a mechanical ventilator for the next two days, at a minimum. 3, 2021, they enrolled and randomized 1,301 patients 18 years or older from 85 different intensive care units (ICUs) in 15 countries. They formulated a protocol that would test how protein dose affected the time to discharge for critically ill patients, as well as mortality at 60 days.īetween Jan. That's where Compher and colleagues turned for the Effect of Higher Protein Dosing in Critically Ill Patients Trial. ![]() For the past 20 years, a registry has existed where clinicians from participating sites can voluntarily add data on nutrition practices and outcomes. They weren't starting from scratch, however. ![]() Yet Compher and colleagues couldn't say for certain whether the usual dose or a higher one was optimal-the data simply didn't exist-so they created a clinical trial to fill that void. In her field, protein has been touted as an important tool to help critically ill patients maintain muscle mass and physical function and to improve clinical outcomes. "The findings were counter to what we would've expected," Compher says.Īs a researcher and clinician, Compher has spent the better part of a decade trying to understand malnutrition in clinical settings. According to findings from this collaboration, which included researchers from more than a dozen institutions in seven countries, more protein than the typical dosage did not benefit these patients, and, in the case of those with acute kidney failure, it actually caused harm. Very little else is known about her.A paper she and colleagues published in The Lancet sheds some light. She is also believed to be the inspiration for the song. Patricia Johnston was known as a pianist, lyricist, composer, musical director and friend of Don Raye, with whom she wrote the lyrics to “I’ll Remember April”. Best known for boogie-woogie numbers, some of which became rock and roll standards (“Down the Road a Piece” 1941), he was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 1985. From there he went into vaudeville as a singer and dancer, detoured into advertising and literature, then returned to music. With Johnny Mercer he composed music for the Broadway musical “L’il Abner” (1956).ĭon Raye (1909-1985) was a championship Charleston and Black Bottom dancer when still a teenager. Frequently collaborating with Don Raye, their works included scores for “A Song is Born” (1948) and “Seven Brides for Seven Brothers” (1954) and “Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy” (1941). Gene de Paul (1919-1988) started as a piano teacher, then continued first as a pianist, then as a singer/arranger, then as composer for film scores as well as a large number of independent songs. and two episodes of the Sopranos, both with Bobby Darin recordings. Over 50 exceptionally fine recordings have followed and the song has been included in several films (including Charlie Parker’s recording in the 1986 film “The Color of Money”). With unusually extended passages, the song did only moderately well until adopted as a bop tune in the late 1940s, with Bud Powell’s and Charlie Parker’s recordings drawing a great deal of attention. ![]() Another high point of the film was Ella Fitzgerald singing “A Tisket A Tasket” and joining in another de Paul and Raye song “Rockin’ and Reelin’”. Dick Foran, playing an author, sings “I’ll Remember April” to Anne Gwynne (the rancher’s daughter). “I’ll Remember April” was written in 1941 by Gene de Paul, Patricia Johnston and Don Raye for the Abbott & Costello movie “Ride ‘Em Cowboy”, an extremely unusual venue for what would become a jazz standard. Tune in to First Take with Lando and Chavis – weekdays from 6-9 am MT – for Stories of Standards to hear our favorite versions of this song all week long! ![]()
