Epithelial Barrier Leak in Gastrointestinal Disease and Multiorgan Failure
There are a myriad of clinical conditions whose disease etiology involves leakiness of an epithelial and/or endothelial barrier. To underscore the medical usefulness of agents that can augment barrier function, the theme of this special issue, two disease areas are highlighted. The first is the phenomenon of “leaky gut” which can play relatively obvious roles in gastrointestinal diseases such a...
متن کاملIntensive Care of a Weil's Disease With Multiorgan Failure
UNLABELLED Leptospirosis is a commonly encountered type of zoonosis, especially in tropical regions. There is insufficient data regarding its frequency in non-tropical regions such as Turkey. Although leptospirosis presents with a mild icteric form in nearly 90% of cases, it can lead to Weils disease characterized by fever as well as fulminant hepatorenal and respiratory failure, in approximate...
متن کاملMultiorgan failure in the serious trauma patient.
Multiorgan failure remains one of the leading causes of late morbidity and mortality after severe trauma. In the early phase, it is related with an uncontrolled hyper-inflammation state, whereas in the late phase (>72 h), septic complications play a major role. We review the underlying pathophysiology, the evaluation with different scales and the clinical factors associated with multiorgan fail...
متن کاملRole of Complement in Multiorgan Failure
Multiorgan failure (MOF) represents the leading cause of death in patients with sepsis and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) following severe trauma. The underlying immune response is highly complex and involves activation of the complement system as a crucial entity of innate immunity. Uncontrolled activation of the complement system during sepsis and SIRS with in excessive genera...
متن کاملCeliac Disease: Role of the Epithelial Barrier
In celiac disease (CD) a T-cell-mediated response to gluten is mounted in genetically predisposed individuals, resulting in a malabsorptive enteropathy histologically highlighted by villous atrophy and crypt hyperplasia. Recent data point to the epithelial layer as an under-rated hot spot in celiac pathophysiology to date. This overview summarizes current functional and genetic evidence on the ...
