Sepsis: From Bench to Bedside
Sepsis is a syndrome related to severe infections. It is defined as the systemic host response to microorganisms in previously sterile tissues and is characterized by end-organ dysfunction away from the primary site of infection. The normal host response to infection is complex and aims to identify and control pathogen invasion, as well as to start immediate tissue repair. Both the cellular and...
متن کاملCoagulation cascade in sepsis: getting from bench to bedside?
The relationship between blood coagulation factors and the promotion or inhibition of the antiinflammatory response continues to be defined through basic research. The potential key role of blood coagulation factors in the response during sepsis provides an exciting potential mechanism(s) for modification through the application of new therapies. The complexity of the potential multiple actions...
متن کاملFrom bench to bedside
Because the microcirculation has emerged as an important reanimation target, appropriate methods to monitor the microcirculatory function are crucial. Several teams have now succeeded in crossing this bridge from bench to bedside, but the choice of the tissues of interest remains a debate. The potential accessible vascular beds that doctors could use in reanimation strategies and the relationsh...
متن کاملFrom Bench to Bedside
Since the initial experiments nearly a decade ago, remarkable progress has been made in the field of vascular gene transfer, and trials with human subjects already are under way. The potential of vascular wall gene transfer as therapy for various vascular diseases is considerable.1,2 The purpose of this review is 2-fold: (1) to delineate the methods and principles underlying vascular gene trans...
متن کاملBench-to-bedside review: Understanding genetic predisposition to sepsis
Sepsis is a complex syndrome that develops when the initial, appropriate host response to an infection becomes amplified, and is then dysregulated. Among other factors, the innate immune system is of central importance to the early containment of infection. Death from infection is strongly heritable in human populations. Hence, genetic variations that disrupt innate immune sensing of infectious...
