Towards a novel carbon device for the treatment of sepsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Sepsis is a systemic inflammatory response to infection in which the balance of pro- andanti-inflammatory mediators, which normally isolate and eliminate infection, is disrupted.

The Endothelium in Sepsis [PDF]

open access: yesShock, 2016
Sepsis affects practically all aspects of endothelial cell (EC) function and is thought to be the key factor in the progression from sepsis to organ failure. Endothelial functions affected by sepsis include vasoregulation, barrier function, inflammation, and hemostasis.

Nonredundant protective properties of FPR2/ALX in polymicrobial murine sepsis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Sepsis is characterized by overlapping phases of excessive inflammation temporally aligned with an immunosuppressed state, defining a complex clinical scenario that explains the lack of successful therapeutic options.

Composed endotypes to guide antibiotic discontinuation in sepsis

open access: yesCritical Care, 2019
Overuse of empiric antibiotic therapy in the ICU is responsible for promoting the dissemination of multidrug-resistant (MDR) bacteria. Shortened antibiotic treatment duration could contribute to palliating the emergence of MDR.

Female-Specific Association of Plasma N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide With Organ Dysfunction and Prognosis in Sepsis: A Retrospective Study

open access: yesCritical Care Explorations, 2021
Objectives:. The plasma level of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide is regulated by sex hormones. It has been controversial whether N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide is a prognosis marker for sepsis.

Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled trial of 40 mg/day of atorvastatin in reducing the severity of sepsis in ward patients (ASEPSIS Trial) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Introduction: Several observational studies suggest that statins modulate the pathophysiology of sepsis and may prevent its progression. The aim of this study was to determine if the acute administration of atorvastatin reduces sepsis progression in ...

Epigenetics of Sepsis

open access: yesCritical Care Medicine, 2020
Objectives: Recent evidence from the fields of microbiology and immunology, as well as a small number of human sepsis studies, suggest that epigenetic regulation may play a central role in the pathogenesis of sepsis. The term “epigenetics” refers to regulatory mechanisms that control gene expression but are not related to ...

Cell-free DNA and outcome in sepsis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Severe sepsis can be a catastrophic condition that is often associated with poor outcomes. The early diagnosis and management of the condition are vital in order to improve the chances of survival. However, owing to the syndromal nature of its definition

Glucocorticoids in Sepsis: To Be or Not to Be

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2020
Sepsis is a highly lethal syndrome resulting from dysregulated immune and metabolic responses to infection, thereby compromising host homeostasis. Activation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis and subsequently adrenocortical glucocorticoid (GC) production during sepsis are important regulatory processes to maintain homeostasis.
