Predicting outcome in patients with sepsis: new biomarkers for old expectations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Early prediction of the outcome of patients with sepsis could be helpful in guiding therapies but remains challenging. Presepsin, a new sepsis biomarker whose elevation as early as day 1 is well correlated with 28-day mortality, could be considered to this end.

Hepatic dysfunction is a frequent manifestation in patients with sickle cell anemia. It is usually a multifactorial process. A rare benign form of extreme hyperbilirubinemia, presumably due to intrahepatic sickling, may be the cause.

Background Since the success rate in older poor-responder (POR) infertile women is expected to be extremely low irrespective of the treatment protocol, clinicians continue the search for biomarkers which may predict cases in which proceeding with follicle aspiration may be appropriate. Experimental studies on murine model suggest that SCF(Stem- Cell-Factor) produced by ovarian cumulus granulosa...
