Activation of the ATP-dependent potassium channel attenuates norepinephrine-induced vasoconstriction in the human forearm.

TL;DR: Vasodilation induced by vascular potassium channel activation is associated with an impressive reduction in the vasoconstrictor response to norepinephrine in humans, indicating that potassium channelactivation could account for the diminished nore Pinephrine sensitivity in septic patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

Promotion of vascular integrity in sepsis through modulation of bioactive adrenomedullin and dipeptidyl peptidase 3.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on dipeptidyl peptidase 3 (DPP3) and adrenomedullin (ADM), two molecules that act on the vasculature and are involved in the pathophysiology of sepsis and septic shock.
Journal ArticleDOI

The mechanism of action of the adrenomedullin-binding antibody adrecizumab.

TL;DR: Interestingly, animal and human data reveal a strong, dose-dependent increase of plasma ADM concentrations upon adrecizumab infusion, which cannot be explained by increased production of ADM, and a mechanistic explanation for this occurrence was recently proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI

FLOOD: FLow cytometric Orthogonal Orientation for Diagnosis

TL;DR: The novel FLow cytometric Orthogonal Orientation for Diagnosis (FLOOD) method reveals disease specific marker patterns and provides new mechanistic insights and confirms established knowledge on LPS-response, which demonstrates the high potential of FLOOD for both clinical and research application.
Journal ArticleDOI

Respiratory Mechanics and Outcomes in Immunocompromised Patients With ARDS A Secondary Analysis of the EFRAIM Study

Alexandre Demoule, +89 more

TL;DR: In immunocompromised patients with ARDS, respiratory mechanics provide additional prognostic information to predictors of hospital mortality, and studies designed to define lung-protective ventilation guided by these physiological variables may be warranted in this specific population.
