Specific therapies targeting cellular and molecular events of sepsis induced Acute Lung Injury (ALI) pathogenesis are lacking. We have reported a pivotal role for Nuclear Factors of Activated T cells (NFATc3) in regulating macrophage phenotype during sepsis induced ALI and subsequent studies
OBJECTIVE
To test the hypothesis that meningococcal septicemia-related pulmonary edema is associated with a systemic abnormality of epithelial sodium and chloride transport and to investigate an association with hormones regulating Na transport.
METHODS
Prospective observational study.
METHODS
The
Four newborn babies at term, with massive pulmonary haemorrhage associated with fulminant septicemia due to pseudomonas, are presented. The neonates died in the first day of life. The haematocrit and the proteic contents of the pulmonary effluent showed the existence of a pulmonary lesional edema.
OBJECTIVE
To determine if sepsis, which is accompanied by both systolic and diastolic myocardial dysfunction, involves changes in myocardial collagen, as myocardial collagen changes can affect both myocardial compliance and contractility.
METHODS
Prospective, randomized, controlled
Pulmonary dysfunction is a well-recognized sequela of sepsis, which has been quantitated by calculation of intrapulmonary shunt (Qs/Qt) and, more recently, by measurement of extravascular lung water (EVLW). We sought to demonstrate the relationship between Qs/Qt and EVLW in sepsis. Nine pigs were
There is evidence that both bronchoconstriction and accumulation of lung water may contribute to the early alterations in lung function following septicemia. Eigher of these may be mediated by blood components. To assess these proposed mechanisms the changes in hemodynamics, pulmonary mechanics, gas
Morphologic studies were undertaken in a sheep model of pulmonary permeability edema (PPE) induced by cecal ligation and perforation. Biopsies taken every 24 hours through 96 hours following induction of sepsis showed, at 24 hours, interstitial edema accompanied by widespread aggregation of
Sepsis is the most common cause of adult respiratory distress syndrome and is associated with the highest mortality. This article describes the pathophysiology of septic pulmonary edema, which is the culmination over time of many complex responses related to sepsis.
OBJECTIVE
To determine the association between the value of early diastolic transmitral velocity to early mitral anulus diastolic velocity ratio (E/E')measured by bedside ultrasound and pulmonary edema in severe sepsis (including septic shock) patients.
METHODS
Data were obtained from the critical
Severe sepsis and septic shock remain among the deadliest diseases managed in the intensive care unit. Fluid resuscitation has been a mainstay of early treatment, but the deleterious effects of excessive fluid administration leading to tissue edema are becoming clearer. A positive fluid balance at
BACKGROUND
Lymphoma is among the five most frequent malignancies during pregnancy while anaplastic large-cell lymphoma (ALCL) is rare, accounting only for 2-3 % of all adult-onset non-Hodgkin lymphomas.
METHODS
A 23-year-old gravida 1, para 1 presented with puerperal mastitis and septicemia
Sepsis-induced brain injury is associated with an acute deterioration of mental status resulting in cognitive impairment and acquisition of new functional limitations in sepsis survivors. However, the exact nature of brain injury in this setting is often subtle and remains to be fully characterized
Captopril, an angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor used in the treatment of hypertension, has been associated with hematologic as well as dermatologic side effects. Two patients with captopril-induced angioneurotic edema, one of whom had fatal granulocytopenia and overwhelming polymicrobial
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition due to a dysregulated immunological response to infection. Apart from source control and broad-spectrum antibiotics, management is based on fluid resuscitation and vasoactive drugs. Fluid resuscitation implicates the risk of volume overload, which in turn is
Fifteen critically ill patients with sepsis, 12 of whom had significant pulmonary dysfunction develop, were investigated with regard to changes in pulmonary capillary pressure, in serum oncotic pressure and on roentgenograms of the chest. It could not be shown that the pulmonary edema, which is a
