Circulating levels of micronutrients and risk of infections: a Mendelian randomization study
BMC Medicine, 2023 Background Micronutrients play an essential role at every stage of the immune response, and deficiencies can therefore lead to increased susceptibility to infections.

BioMed Research International, 2014 Bloodstream infections are a major concern because of high levels of antibiotic consumption and of the increasing prevalence of antimicrobial resistance. Bacteraemia is identified in a small percentage of patients with signs and symptoms of sepsis. Biomarkers are widely used in clinical practice and they are useful for monitoring the infectious process.

Multi-marker approach using procalcitonin, presepsin, galectin-3, and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 for the prediction of mortality in sepsis [PDF]
, 2017 Background: Biomarker could be objective and reliable tools to predict mortality in sepsis. We explored the prognostic utilities of emerging biomarkers in septic patients and questioned whether adding biomarkers to the clinical variables would improve ...

All that seems sepsis is not sepsis
Indian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2013 Catastrophic antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (CAPS) resembles severe sepsis in its acute presentation, with features of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) leading to multiple organ dysfunction. Infections are the best known triggers of CAPS. This emphasizes the need for early diagnosis and aggressive treatment as the mortality is as high

Glucocorticoids in Sepsis: To Be or Not to Be
Frontiers 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.

Sphingolipidomics in Translational Sepsis Research–Biomedical Considerations and Perspectives
Frontiers in Medicine, 2021 Scientific Background: Sphingolipids are a highly diverse group of lipids with respect to physicochemical properties controlling either structure, distribution, or function, all of them regulating cellular response in health and disease.

Identifying which septic patients have increased mortality risk using severity scores:a cohort study [PDF]
, 2014 Background: Early aggressive therapy can reduce the mortality associated with severe sepsis but this relies on prompt recognition, which is hindered by variation among published severity criteria. Our aim was to test the performance of different severity

Digital PCR applications for the diagnosis and management of infection in critical care medicine
Critical Care, 2022 Infection (either community acquired or nosocomial) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in critical care medicine. Sepsis is present in up to 30% of all ICU patients.
