Sepsis: multiple abnormalities, heterogeneous responses, and evolving understanding.
Sepsis represents the host's systemic inflammatory response to a severe infection. It causes substantial human morbidity resulting in hundreds of thousands of deaths each year. Despite decades of intense research, the basic mechanisms still remain elusive. In either experimental animal models of sepsis or human patients, there are substantial physiological changes, many of which may result in s...
متن کاملAn allosteric model for heterogeneous receptor complexes: understanding bacterial chemotaxis responses to multiple stimuli.
The classical Monod-Wyman-Changeux model for homogeneous allosteric protein complex is generalized in this article to model the responses of heterogeneous receptor complexes to multiple types of ligand stimulus. We show that the recent in vivo experimental data of Escherichia coli chemotaxis responses for mutant strains with different expression levels of the chemo-receptors to different types ...
متن کاملThe Evolving Definition of Sepsis
Sepsis affects millions of people worldwide each year. It occurs when a normal human immune response to a bacterial, viral or fungal infection becomes dysfunctional and triggers widespread inflammation that results in severe tissue damage that leads to organ failure, shock, and death. Sepsis, requires immediate treatment and has a high readmission rate for survivors. It is also one of the most ...
متن کاملSepsis-associated encephalopathy: Evolving concepts
Systemic sepsis commonly produces brain dysfunction, sepsis-associated encephalopathy, which can vary from a transient, reversible encephalopathy to irreversible brain damage. The encephalopathy in the acute phase clinically resembles many metabolic encephalopathies: a diffuse disturbance in cerebral function with sparing of the brain stem. The severity of the encephalopathy, as reflected in pr...
متن کاملCurrent understanding of sepsis.
Sepsis and septic shock represent the thirteenth leading cause of death in the United States. It has been estimated that there are 500,000 new episodes each year, with an associated crude mortality of 35% [1]. Over the last 4 decades the age-adjusted mortality has climbed steadily from 0.5 to 7 per 100,000 episodes [2]. Approximately one-third to one-half of patients who are septic have culture...
