4G/5G polymorphism of PAI-1 gene is associated with multiple organ dysfunction and septic shock in pneumonia induced severe sepsis: prospective, observational, genetic study. [PDF]
In Caucasian patients with severe sepsis due to pneumonia carriers of the 4G allele of PAI-1 polymorphism have higher risk for multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and septic shock and in agreement they showed more fulminant disease progression based on ...

Septic shock is a life-threatening condition that results from the combined effects of bacteria and the host's chemical mediators of inflammation. Of particular detriment is the hyperdynamic and hypodynamic vasomotor instability that severely compromises the patient prior to the onset of overt bacteremia.

Characterization of Early Peripheral Immune Responses in Patients with Sepsis and Septic Shock
(1) Background: Sepsis is a life-threatening condition caused by an abnormal host response to infection that produces altered physiological responses causing tissue damage and can result in organ dysfunction and, in some cases, death.

Serum Soluble Endoglin in Pediatric Septic Shock Associated Multiple Organ Dysfunction Syndrome
Background: Endothelial activation is a key driver of multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Soluble endoglin (sENG) is expressed by mature and progenitor endothelial cells and thought to have angiogenic properties.

Sepsis and Septic Shock: Outcomes in Elderly and Very Elderly Intensive Care Patients
Objective:The relationship between age and the development and outcome of sepsis and septic shock is unclear, especially in adults. There are few studies about the incidence, prognosis and mortality rates of sepsis in elderly and very elderly patients ...
