Journal ArticleDOI

TGF-β activity protects against inflammatory aortic aneurysm progression and complications in angiotensin II–infused mice

TL;DR: A critical role for TGF-beta is identified in the taming of the innate immune response and the preservation of vessel integrity in C57BL/6 mice, which contrasts with its reported pathogenic role in Marfan syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mottling score predicts survival in septic shock

TL;DR: The mottling score as well as its variation during resuscitation is a strong predictor of 14-day survival in patients with septic shock, and the mean arterial pressure, central venous pressure and cardiac index were not.
Journal ArticleDOI

The endothelium: physiological functions and role in microcirculatory failure during severe sepsis.

TL;DR: The endothelium is a highly dynamic cell layer that is involved in a multitude of physiological functions, including the control of vascular tone, the movement of cells and nutrients, the maintenance of blood fluidity and the growth of new vessels during severe sepsis.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cirrhotic patients in the medical intensive care unit: early prognosis and long-term survival.

TL;DR: In-hospital survival rate of intensive care unit-admitted cirrhotic patients seemed acceptable, even in patients requiring life-sustaining treatments and/or with multiple organ failure on admission, and a trial of unrestricted intensive care for a few days could be proposed for select critically ill cirrhosis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Availability of an alcohol solution can improve hand disinfection compliance in an intensive care unit.

TL;DR: It is suggested that rubbing with alcohol solution increases compliance with hand disinfection, and that it could be proposed as an alternative to conventional handwashing in the MICU.
