Outcome and prognostic factors in critically ill cancer patients admitted to the intensive care unit.

TL;DR: A combination of factors must be taken into account to estimate a critically ill cancer patient's prognosis in the ICU, and the APACHE III scoring system alone should not be used to make decisions about therapy prolongation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Alveolar macrophages have a protective antiinflammatory role during murine pneumococcal pneumonia

TL;DR: The data suggest that AMs are indispensable in the host response to pneumococcal pneumonia by means of their capacity to modulate inflammation, possibly via elimination of apoptotic PMNs.
Journal ArticleDOI

Toll-Like Receptor 2 Plays a Role in the Early Inflammatory Response to Murine Pneumococcal Pneumonia but Does Not Contribute to Antibacterial Defense

TL;DR: The data suggest that TLR2 plays a limited role in the innate immune response to pneumococcal pneumonia, and that additional pattern recognition receptors likely are involved in host defense against this common respiratory pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI

Diabetes and infection: is there a link?--A mini-review.

TL;DR: This review will summarize published reports on the incidence and risk for infectious diseases in diabetic people and give a comprehensive overview of the molecular mechanisms that have been suggested to explain the potentially altered immune response to pathogens in patients with diabetes.
