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.

Dynamic balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory signals controls disease and limits pathology.

TL;DR: Evidence is provided from both experimental and mathematical/computational studies to support the concept of a dynamic balance operating during persistent and other infection scenarios of tuberculosis.

Could Vitamins Help in the Fight Against COVID-19?

TL;DR: There are limited proven therapeutic options for the prevention and treatment of COVID-19 and there is pathophysiologic rationale for exploring the use of vitamins in this global pandemic, supported by early anecdotal reports from international groups.

Muscle dysfunction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: update on causes and biological findings

TL;DR: Full elucidation of the specific roles of the target biological mechanisms involved in COPD muscle dysfunction is still required and will be crucial to adequately tackle with this relevant clinical problem of COPD patients in the near-future.

Vitamin C-An Adjunctive Therapy for Respiratory Infection, Sepsis and COVID-19.

TL;DR: Vitamin C’s antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and immunomodulating effects make it a potential therapeutic candidate, both for the prevention and amelioration of COVID-19 infection, and as an adjunctive therapy in the critical care of CO VID-19.
Journal ArticleDOI

High-Content Quantification of Single-Cell Immune Dynamics

TL;DR: An automated microfluidic system that delivers precisely defined dynamical inputs to individual living cells and simultaneously measures key immune parameters dynamically is developed, enabling study of previously untestable aspects of immunity by measuring time-dependent cytokine secretion and transcription factor activity from single cells stimulated with dynamic inflammatory inputs.

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.
