TLDR
Recent insights into the signaling pathways in immune and phagocytic cells that underlie sepsis and SIRS are discussed and how these might be targeted for therapeutic interventions to reverse or attenuate pathways that lead to lethality during sepsi are considered.

Activation of Hepatic STAT3 Maintains Pulmonary Defense during Endotoxemia

TL;DR: Induction of liver STAT3-dependent gene expression programs is essential to countering the deleterious consequences of sepsis on pneumonia susceptibility and suggest that hepatic STAT3 activation promotes both cellular and humoral lung defenses.

Identification of key genes and pathways using bioinformatics analysis in septic shock children

TL;DR: It is hypothesized that the discovery from the available gene expression data of pediatric sepsis patients could know the process or improve the situation and support future studies on pediatric septic shock.
Journal ArticleDOI

Caspase-8 inhibition represses initial human monocyte activation in septic shock model

TL;DR: It is proposed that the therapeutic use of caspase-8 inhibitors could represent a more selective alternative that blocks both phases of septic shock at the source and also reduces LPS-induced expression and release of IL-1β and IL-10.

Type 2 diabetes mellitus and sepsis: state of the art, certainties and missing evidence

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors summarized the strengths and weaknesses of current knowledge on the interplay between diabetes and sepsis and concluded that chronic exposure to high glucose might enhance immune adaptation, leading to reduced mortality rate in septic diabetic patients.

Free radicals and antioxidants in normal physiological functions and human disease

TL;DR: Attention is focussed on the ROS/RNS-linked pathogenesis of cancer, cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemia/reperfusion injury, diabetes mellitus, neurodegenerative diseases, rheumatoid arthritis, and ageing.

The Epidemiology of Sepsis in the United States from 1979 through 2000

TL;DR: The rate of sepsis due to fungal organisms increased by 207 percent, with gram-positive bacteria becoming the predominant pathogens after 1987, and the total in-hospital mortality rate fell, yet the total number of deaths continued to increase.
Journal ArticleDOI

The acute respiratory distress syndrome.

TL;DR: Progress has been made in understanding the mechanisms responsible for the pathogenesis and the resolution of lung injury, including the contribution of environmental and genetic factors, and on developing novel therapeutics that can facilitate and enhance lung repair.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunodesign of experimental sepsis by cecal ligation and puncture.

TL;DR: Standardized procedures for inducing sepsis in mice and rats are defined by applying defined severity grades of sepsi through modulation of the position of cecal ligation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunosuppression in patients who die of sepsis and multiple organ failure.

TL;DR: Patients who die in the ICU following sepsis compared with patients who die of nonsepsis etiologies have biochemical, flow cytometric, and immunohistochemical findings consistent with immunosuppression, and targeted immune-enhancing therapy may be a valid approach in selected patients with sepsi.
