Inhibition of Cholesteryl Ester Transfer Protein Preserves High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Improves Survival in Sepsis.

TLDR
Clinical genetics and humanized mouse models suggest that inhibiting CETP may preserve HDL levels and improve outcomes for individuals with sepsis.
Abstract
Background: The high-density lipoprotein hypothesis of atherosclerosis has been challenged by clinical trials of cholesteryl ester transfer protein (CETP) inhibitors, which failed to show significa...

Supplement to: Time to treatment and mortality during mandated emergency care for sepsis.

TL;DR: More rapid completion of a 3‐hour bundle of sepsis care and rapid administration of antibiotics, but not rapid completed of an initial bolus of intravenous fluids, were associated with lower risk‐adjusted in‐hospital mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cholesterol efflux pathways, inflammation, and atherosclerosis.

TL;DR: The causal relationship between plasma HDL-cholesterol levels and CVD has been called into question by Mendelian randomization studies and the majority of clinical trials not showing any benefit of plasma HDL cholesterol raising drugs on CVD as mentioned in this paper.

The Endothelium Is Both a Target and a Barrier of HDL's Protective Functions.

TL;DR: In this article, a detailed understanding of the structure-function relationships underlying the multiple interactions of HDL with endothelial cells is expected to elucidate new targets and strategies for the treatment or prevention of various diseases.

Baseline cardiometabolic profiles and SARS-CoV-2 infection in the UK Biobank.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the impact of additional baseline cardiometabolic risk factors including high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C), LDL-C, Apolipoprotein A-I (ApoA-I), triglycerides, hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), and diabetes on SARS-CoV-2 infection risk.

Good Cholesterol Gone Bad? HDL and COVID-19.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed the complex role of HDL and SR-B1 in SARS-CoV-2-induced disease and showed that the ability of HDL to enhance or suppress virus infection appears to be dependent on the expression of the HDL receptor in the target cells.

2001 SCCM/ESICM/ACCP/ATS/SIS International Sepsis Definitions Conference

TL;DR: This document reflects a process whereby a group of experts and opinion leaders revisited the 1992 sepsis guidelines and found that apart from expanding the list of signs and symptoms of sepsi to reflect clinical bedside experience, no evidence exists to support a change to the definitions.

2001 SCCM/ESICM/ACCP/ATS/SIS International Sepsis Definitions Conference

TL;DR: A hypothetical model for staging sepsis is presented, which, in the future, may better characterize the syndrome on the basis of predisposing factors and premorbid conditions, the nature of the underlying infection, the characteristics of the host response, and the extent of the resultant organ dysfunction.

Surviving Sepsis Campaign: International Guidelines for Management of Sepsis and Septic Shock: 2016

Andrew Rhodes, +58 more
TL;DR: Although a significant number of aspects of care have relatively weak support, evidence-based recommendations regarding the acute management of sepsis and septic shock are the foundation of improved outcomes for these critically ill patients with high mortality.
