We aimed to assess the lipopolysaccharide (LPS), or heat shock (HS) induction, and glutamine-modulating effects on heat shock protein-90α (HSP90α) and cytokines in an ex vivo model using p...
The aim of this study was to identify variables associated with time to revision, demographic details associated with revision indication, and type of prosthesis employed, and to describe th...
To survive and establish a niche for themselves, bacteria constantly evolve. Toward that, they not only insert point mutations and promote illegitimate recombinations within their genomes bu...
The synovial fluid (SF) analysis involves a series of chemical and physical studies that allow opportune diagnosing of septic, inflammatory, non-inflammatory, and other pathologies in joints...
Preterm infants are at risk of extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) and associated complications in the long term. Growth curves are important in assessing postnatal growth in these infant...
According to recent estimates, sepsis is attributable to approximately one in three hospital deaths in the United States. “Sepsis is a common and deadly condition that can be difficult to ...
1. In patients with sepsis receiving a vasopressor in the intensive care unit (ICU), intravenous vitamin C was associated with a higher risk of death and persistent organ dysfunction com...
Recently, many diagnostic biomarkers were reported, but each had its own limitation. However, there is a need for an effective sensitivity and specificity of biomarker in diagnosis and progn...
Admission hypothermia (AH, < 36.5℃) remains a major challenge for global neonatal survival, especially in developing countries. Baseline research shows nearly 89.3% of very low birt...
Activation of the coagulation cascade is a critical, evolutionarily conserved mechanism that maintains haemostasis by rapidly forming blood clots in response to blood-borne infections and da...
Thrombotic microangiopathy-induced thrombocytopenia-associated multiple organ failure and hyperinflammatory macrophage activation syndrome are important causes of late pediatric sepsis morta...
The importance of glycemic management in surgical patient populations stems from an association between hyperglycemia and increased rates of surgical site infections, sepsis, and mortality. ...
The Turnbull Cutait pull-through procedure (TCO) restores intestinal continuity in the setting of chronic pelvic sepsis, colorectal anastomotic leak, complex pelvic fistulas, and technical c...
Acute kidney injury caused by sepsis has become a hotspot of scientific research in recent years. Since the kidney is the most abundant of all organs with vascular endothelium, activation an...
Discharge of treated sewage effluent to rivers can degrade aquatic ecosystem quality, interacting with multiple stressors in the wider catchment. In predominantly rural catchments, the river...
Listeria monocytogenes is a psychrotrophic food-borne pathogenic bacterium that causes listeriosis. Due to its unusual adaptation, an ability to grow at extended temperatures ranging from 4 ...
In recent years, dioxanes and dioxolanes have been intermittently detected in water environment and have caused several offensive drinking water odor incidents worldwide. In this study, the ...
The aim of the study was to explore the mechanism by which minocycline protects the blood-brain barrier (BBB) in septic rats.A sepsis rat model was generated in healthy, male Sprague-Dawley ...
Alveolar macrophage activation and apoptosis are vital contributors to sepsis-associated acute lung injury (ALI). However, the mechanisms of alveolar macrophage activation are yet to be clar...
Eosinophils constitute 1%-5% of peripheral blood leukocytes, less in the presence of acute infections (referred to as eosinopenia). Studies indicate that eosinopenia can be used as a prognos...
