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.

Elevated carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide ratio in the exhaled breath of mice treated with a single dose of lipopolysaccharide.

TL;DR: By gas chromatographic analysis, the ratio of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide increased in exhaled breath of 2 mouse strains injected with different doses of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide and the ratios correlated with inflammation biomarkers and heme oxygenase-1 expression in blood.

The MAVS Immune Recognition Pathway in Viral Infection and Sepsis.

TL;DR: The role of MAVS as a sensor for nonviral pathogens, host cell injury, and metabolic perturbations awaits better characterization in the future as discussed by the authors, and the ultimate goal is to manipulate MAVS activities in the form of immune-modulatory therapies to combat infections and sepsis.

The protective role of human ghrelin in sepsis: Restoration of CD4 T cell proliferation.

TL;DR: Human ghrelin plays an important role in reestablishing the proliferation of CD4 T cells and serves as a promising therapeutic agent in sepsis.

Spinal Cord Injury Increases Pro-inflammatory Cytokine Expression in Kidney at Acute and Sub-chronic Stages.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of high and low thoracic (T) SCI on C-fos, TNFα, interleukin (IL)-1β, and IL-6 expression in the kidney at acute and sub-chronic timepoints.

Surgery for patients with Alpha 1 Antitrypsin Deficiency: A review

TL;DR: Although not currently recommended in AATD, LVRS may have a role in a minority of patients and the value of Alpha 1 Antitrypsin (AAT) augmentation therapy following lung transplantation requires further study.

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.
