Heparin-binding protein: an early indicator of critical illness and predictor of outcome in cardiac arrest.
AIM To investigate plasma levels of the neutrophil-borne heparin-binding protein (HBP) in patients with induced hypothermia after cardiac arrest (CA), and to study any association to severity of organ failure, incidence of infection and neurological outcome. METHODS This study included 84 patients with CA of mixed origin who were treated with hypothermia. Plasma samples from 7 time points dur...
متن کاملHeparin-Binding Protein Measurement Improves the Prediction of Severe Infection With Organ Dysfunction in the Emergency Department
OBJECTIVES Early identification of patients with infection and at risk of developing severe disease with organ dysfunction remains a difficult challenge. We aimed to evaluate and validate the heparin-binding protein, a neutrophil-derived mediator of vascular leakage, as a prognostic biomarker for risk of progression to severe sepsis with circulatory failure in a multicenter setting. DESIGN A ...
متن کاملImmunogenicity of heparin-binding hemagglutinin expressed by Pichia pastoris GS115 strain
Objective(s): Heparin-binding hemagglutinin (HBHA), a mycobacterial cell surface protein, mediates adhesion to nonphagocytic cells and the dissemination of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis) from the site of primary infection. Superior expression systems are required to obtain abundant M. tuberculosis proteins for the purpose of diagnosing M. tuberculosis infection or for the immuniza...
متن کاملRapid Diagnosis of acute kidney injury (AKI) associated with cardiac surgery, using the liver type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) biomarker
Abstract Background and objectives: cardiac surgery is often associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). Nowadays, AKI is typically diagnosed by an increase in serum creatinine, which is a delayed and unreliable biomarker. Recent studies recommended using the liver type fatty acid binding protein (L-FABP) as an early biomarker. Material and Methods: The urine samples of 18 adult patients undergo...
متن کاملImpact of a High-protein Nutritional Intake on the Clinical Outcome of the Neurocritical Patients
Disease-related malnutrition of neurocritical illness harms its treatment, which increases the mortality rate. The aim of this study was evaluating the effect of a high protein diet on the dietary factors, clinical outcome, and mortality rate of neurocritical patients. In a randomized controlled trial, 15 neurocritical patients were recruited in each group. Patients in the intervention and cont...
