Influenza viruses are one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality during winter months. Increased respiratory rate (tachypnea) is a sign of increasing lower respiratory disease during influenza infection and is frequently observed in hospitalized patients. We investigated this clinical sign
OBJECTIVE
Sepsis is the leading disease that is diagnosed late and still has a mortal course in emergency departments. The primary factors that will reduce both morbidity and mortality are early diagnosis and an early treatment approach. Therefore, in this study, P-selectin and MCP1 levels, which
BACKGROUND
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients are at increased risk of cytomegalovirus (CMV) reactivation, and although CMV pneumonia may be a fatal disease in IBD patients, little information is available on this issue. The objectives of this study were to identify risk factors for the
OBJECTIVE
The aim was to evaluate demographic, clinical, and laboratory variables in febrile patients, with or without a microbiologically confirmed infection, for prediction of death, in comparison to the systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and its criteria, such as abnormal temperature,
BACKGROUND
The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) criteria have not been validated in patients with hematologic malignancies (HM).
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether daily assessment of SIRS criteria allows early identification of HM patients who will develop septic shock
METHODS
A 4-year-old sexually intact male mixed-breed dog was evaluated because of clinical signs of acute-onset pelvic limb ataxia, rapidly progressing to paraplegia with severe spinal hyperesthesia.
RESULTS
General physical examination revealed pyrexia, tachycardia, and tachypnea. Neurologic
To evaluate inflammatory signs presented in medical records of patients with a main diagnosis of epileptic seizures, admitted in an emergency unit.Cross-sectional and retrospective study. The sample was composed of 191 medical records, from children, The concepts of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and scoring system were defined by the journal of Bone in 1992. SIRS was described as occurrence of two or more clinical criteria in four ones (fever or hypothermia, tachypnea, tachycardia, and leukocytosis). An early diagnosis and
BACKGROUND
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) may develop after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH). We investigated factors associated with SIRS after SAH, whether SIRS was associated with complications of SAH such as vasospasm, cerebral infarction, and clinical outcome, and
OBJECTIVE
The systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) after cardiac surgery with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) exacerbates organ dysfunction and increases postoperative mortality. The aim of this study was to reduce SIRS after CPB in a pig model by profoundly decreasing all blood defence
TREM-1 is an activating receptor expressed on the surface of neutrophils and mature monocytes when stimulated by bacteria or fungi, leading to amplification of the inflammatory response. Our objective is to analyze the prognostic value of serum sTREM-1 levels and other mediators of the inflammatory
Acute inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (AIDP) is an autoimmune process that is characterized by progressive weakness, mild sensory changes and autonomic dysfunction. It is a rare disorder, afflicting about 1 person in 100,000. Yet, since the decline in the number of polio cases, it
Based on the observation that administration of clarithromycin led to an attenuation of the inflammatory response induced by surgical trauma in a guinea pig model, we investigated the potential beneficial effects of clarithromycin on the local and systemic inflammatory response in patients
OBJECTIVE
We sought to determine the potential usefulness of 2'-deoxycoformycin (pentostatin), an inhibitor of adenosine deaminase, as a postinsult, or prophylactic treatment for systemic inflammatory response syndrome resulting from fecal peritonitis.
METHODS
Prospective, randomized, controlled
Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is characterized by body temperature abnormalities, tachypnea or hyperventilation, tachycardia, and leukocytosis or leukopenia. Although it is typically associated with a serious infection and referred to as sepsis, SIRS can stem from noninfectious
