Relationship between Concentrations of Oxygen and Levels of Oxidative Stress in Patients Receiving Oxygen Therapy for Severe COVID-19 Pneumonia
We evaluated the potential of high-flow oxygen therapy to increase oxidative stress and inflammation in COVID-19 patients. Our observation of decreased MDA levels when transitioning hypertensive patients from high-flow to... read more
Outcomes and inflammation changes in different types of immunocompromised patients with critically ill COVID-19 admitted to ICU
Critically ill COVID-19 patients admitted to the ICU exhibit distinct clinical outcomes based on their immunosuppression status, with cancer patients facing the highest mortality rate due to variations in inflammatory responses... read more
Management of Dysregulated Immune Response in the Critically Ill
This book, part of the European Society of Intensive Care Medicine (ESICM) textbook series, deals with dysregulated host response a relatively new term introduced by the Sepsis-3 definitions in 2016. In contrast to systemic... read more
Distinct Immune Profiles and Clinical Outcomes in Sepsis Subphenotypes Based on Temperature Trajectories
Sepsis subphenotypes identified using the universally available measurement of body temperature had distinct immune profiles. Hypothermic patients, who had the highest mortality rate, also had the lowest levels of most pro-... read more
COVID-19 Pneumonia: Different Respiratory Treatments for Different Phenotypes?
Type L and Type H patients are best identified by CT scan and are affected by different pathophysiological mechanisms. If not available, signs which are implicit in Type L and Type H definition could be used as surrogates:... read more
Disease Progression Associated Cytokines in COVID-19 Patients with Deteriorating and Recovering Health Conditions
Understanding the immune response to COVID-19 is challenging due to its high variability among individuals. To identify differentially expressed cytokines between the deteriorating and recovering phases, we analyzed the Electronic... read more
Severe Trauma and Sepsis: Organ Damage and Tissue Repair
This book discusses recent progress in organ damage and tissue repair following severe trauma and sepsis. In part 1, it introduces the theory and clinical practice in organ damage. In part 2, it covers all the subjects... read more
Army Scientists’ Technique for Early Sepsis Detection in Burn Patients Submitted to FDA
A new invention developed at the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command uses an artificial intelligence machine learning algorithm to identify whether burn patients are at risk of experiencing life-threatening... read more
Corticosteroid Treatment and Survival in Critically Ill COVID-19 Patients
Our multinational study identified three distinct clinical COVID-19 phenotypes, each exhibiting marked differences in demographic, clinical, and immunological features, and in the response to late and short-term corticosteroid... read more
Systemic Corticosteroids for Inflammatory Disorders in Pediatrics
This comprehensive volume provides current state of the art of the use of corticosteroids in the pediatric patient. It consists of 14 chapters written by leading authors from different countries. The first chapters cover... read more
Hematological, Inflammatory and Serological Responses Among COVID-19 ICU Patients
A significant association between serum IgG/IgM and ICU admission was observed. Although serum ferritin and LDH can offer information about the extent of inflammation, they are exclusive factors for ICU admission. Significant... read more
Glucose Metabolism Disorders: Pre-hospital Oxygen Therapy and Saturation Variability in COVID-19 Patients
The COVID-19 pandemic has revealed that viruses can have multiple receptor properties, penetrating various tissues and causing mutations in various genes, thus promoting a range of metabolic disorders. The purpose of... read more
Ultrafast Cooling With Total Liquid Ventilation Mitigates Early Inflammatory Response
Ultrafast cooling with TLV mitigates neuroinflammation and attenuates acute brain lesions in the early phase following resuscitation in large animals subjected to cardiac arrest (CA). Brain injury is one of the most serious... read more
Efficacy of β-Blockers in Decreasing Mortality in Sepsis and Septic Shock Patients
This study suggests that the use of β-blockers in sepsis and septic shock patients is associated with a significant decrease in in-hospital mortality and also associated with better patient outcomes. As β-blockers cause... read more
Hospitalizations for Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) in US
Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare, serious condition characterized by fever and multiorgan involvement that occurs after SARS-CoV-2 infection. US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention... read more
Sepsis Alert Systems, Mortality, and Adherence in Emergency Departments
This systematic review and meta-analysis demonstrated the significant association of implementing sepsis alert systems in the Emergency Departments (ED) with patient outcomes. These findings indicate that sepsis alert... read more
Secretomic Approach Value in COVID-19 Viral Pneumonia Among Patients With Respiratory Distress
this article presents an innovative and promising secretomic analysis to distinguish VPP patients from NV-ICU patients using combinations of protein markers. Among the identified proteins, ficolin-3 and proteoglycan-4 appear... read more
