Journal ArticleDOI

Circulating mitochondrial DAMPs cause inflammatory responses to injury

TL;DR: It is shown that injury releases mitochondrial DAMPs into the circulation with functionally important immune consequences, including formyl peptides and mitochondrial DNA, which promote PMN Ca2+ flux and phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinases, thus leading to PMN migration and degranulation in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute traumatic coagulopathy.

TL;DR: There is a common and clinically important acute traumatic coagulopathy that is not related to fluid administration that is related to mortality and a coagulation screen is an important early test in severely injured patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

The importance of early treatment with tranexamic acid in bleeding trauma patients: an exploratory analysis of the CRASH-2 randomised controlled trial.

TL;DR: Strong evidence is recorded that tranexamic acid should be given as early as possible to bleeding trauma patients with significant haemorrhage, and for trauma patients admitted late after injury, tranExamic acid is less effective and could be harmful.
Journal ArticleDOI

Acute traumatic coagulopathy.

TL;DR: Conventional concepts of traumatic coagulopathy as a late occurring condition in response to iatrogenic haemodilution are redundant and ATC is an endogenous impairment of haemostasis that begins at the moment of injury.
