TL;DR: The study of genetic polymorphisms might provide important insights into the pathogenesis of severe sepsis and could make it possible to identify individuals who are at risk of developing or dying of severe infections.
Abstract: Individuals vary considerably in their susceptibility to infection and in their ability to recover from apparently similar infectious processes. These differences can be partially explained by polymorphisms of the genes encoding proteins involved in mediating and controlling the innate immune response, the inflammatory cascade, coagulation, and fibrinolysis. It is evident from experimental studies that dysregulation of the coagulation system, which is characteristic of the pathophysiology of septic shock (a procoagulant and antifibrinolytic state), contributes to systemic inflammation and death in sepsis. Several genetic variations in proteins that increase coagulation or impair anticoagulation and fibrinolysis have been described. Thus, polymorphisms have been reported in prothrombin, fibrinogen, factor V, tissue factor, endothelial protein C receptor, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 genes. Some of them are associated with an increased risk of pulmonary emboli, acute myocardial infarction, stroke, and severe sepsis. Hence, the deletion polymorphism (4G) within the promoter region of the plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 gene leads to impaired fibrinolysis and influences the severity and outcome of meningococcal disease and the susceptibility to severe sepsis and multiple organ failure after trauma. The factor V Leiden mutation is associated with thrombotic events and has been reported to exacerbate purpura fulminans in meningococcal infection. Surprisingly, this genetic variant seems to provide a survival advantage in severe sepsis, underlying the extreme complexity of the interaction between inflammation and coagulation. The study of genetic polymorphisms might provide important insights into the pathogenesis of severe sepsis and could make it possible to identify individuals who are at risk of developing or dying of severe infections. As genetic associations are discovered, medical practice can become more preemptive, using the predictive ability of genetics to anticipate disease and recommend therapy.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a compact wideband printed slot antenna, which is suitable for wireless local area network (WLAN) and satisfying the worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications.
Abstract: A compact wideband printed slot antenna, suitable for wireless local area network (WLAN) and satisfying the worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) applications, is proposed here. The antenna is microstrip-fed and its structure is based on Koch fractal geometry where the resonance frequency of a conventional triangular slot antenna is lowered by applying Koch iterations. The antenna size inclusive of the ground plane is compact and has a wide operating bandwidth. The proposed second iteration Koch slot antenna operates from 2.33 to 6.19 GHz covering the 2.4/5.2/5.8 GHz WLAN bands and 2.5/3.5/5.5 GHz WiMAX bands. The antenna exhibits omnidirectional radiation coverage with a gain better than 2.0 dBi in the entire operating band. Design equations for the proposed antenna are developed and their validity is confirmed on different substrates and for different slot sizes.
