Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that requires urgent medical attention. In this study, we investigated the potential of soybean-derived peptides (soy peptides) as an anti-inflammatory supplement for patients with sepsis. Cynomolgus monkeys were induced sepsis by intravenous administration three different concentrations Escherichia coli (6.3 × 103, 6.3 105, and 107 CFU/kg). Changes in bod...

Background: Gram-positive bacterial infections are very common in the intensive care unit (ICU) and may lead to sepsis. However, there no models predict risk of sepsis persons with infections. Therefore, purpose this study was create validate a nomogram for predicting patients gram-positive

severe sepsis and septic shock are major problems as the result of high rates morbidity andmortality in intensive care units (icus). in the presence of septic shock, each hour of delay inthe administration of effective antibiotics is associated with a measurable increase in mortality.aminoglycosides are effective broad-spectrum antibiotics that are commonly used in icus forthe treatment of life...

objective(s) in the last few years, serum procalcitonin has been proposed as an early marker of infections in neonates, with varying results. in this study, we aimed to investigate the value of procalcitonin, and c- reactive protein in establishing the diagnosis of neonatal sepsis. materials and methods blood samples were collected at admission from 69 neonates with suspected infection (admitte...

background: the most common complication of hospitalization in intensive care units (icus) is infections caused by health care. although sepsis results in a small percentage of infections, it has a high mortality rate. intensive care nurses play a critical role in the prevention, early detection, and beginning of therapeutic interventions in patients with sepsis. this study aimed to review the ...

background : propylene glycol (1,2-propanediol, pg) is a commonly used solvent for oral, intravenous, as well as topical pharmaceutical preparations. while pg is generally considered to be safe, it has been known that large intravenous doses given over a short period of time can be toxic. objective: to evaluate the effect of pg in sepsis induced by the bacterial endotoxin lipopolysaccharide (lp...

OBJECTIVES Sepsis is one of the most common reasons of increased mortality and morbidity in the intensive care unit. The changes in CRP levels and hemogram parameters and their combinations may help to distinguish sepsis from non-sepsis SIRS. The aim of this study is to investigate the CRP and hemogram parameters as an indicator of sepsis. METHODS A total of 2777 patients admitted to the ICU ...

OBJECTIVE Admission with severe sepsis is associated with an increased short-term mortality, but it is unestablished whether sepsis severity has an impact on intermediate-term and long-term mortality following admission to an acute medical admission unit. PATIENTS AND METHODS This was a population-based study of all adults admitted to an acute medical admission unit, Odense University Hospita...

INTRODUCTION Apoptosis of neutrophils (polymorphonuclear neutrophils [PMNs]) may limit inflammatory injury in sepsis and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but the relationship between the severity of sepsis and extent of PMN apoptosis and the effect of superimposed ARDS is unknown. The objective of this study was to correlate neutrophil apoptosis with the severity of sepsis and sepsis...
