Stress hyperglycemia: an essential survival response!
Stress hyperglycemia is common in critically ill patients and appears to be a marker of disease severity. Furthermore, both the admission as well as the mean glucose level during the hospital stay is strongly associated with patient outcomes. Clinicians, researchers and policy makers have assumed this association to be causal with the widespread adoption of protocols and programs for tight in-h...
متن کاملStress Hyperglycemia
Injury and destruction of the islets precede the onset of clinical hyperglycemia in Type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM). This represents the activation of an autoimmune state followed by an imbalance between T-helper and T-suppressor cells and the susceptibility or resistance of the β-cells to injury. Because some stress hormones (particularly cortisol) are known to modulate the immune system and oth...
متن کاملHyperglycemia in the acute phase of stroke and stress response.
There are two main reasons that this is not always so in practice. The first is that the skull also has considerable effects on the geometry of the ultrasound beam, varying from a simple shortening of the focal distance (due to refraction and refocusing) to complete disintegration of the sample volume caused by irregularities of the inner bony surface ("split beam"). The first of these may poss...
متن کاملHyperglycemia is a stress response in acute stroke.
To explore further the relation between admission glucose concentration and outcome in stroke, we measured glucose, fructosamine, and glycosylated hemoglobin concentrations on admission in 216 patients seen within 24 hours after the onset of their first stroke. Fructosamine concentration reflects the degree of glycemia in the preceding 4-6 weeks and glycosylated hemoglobin concentration reflect...
متن کاملRegulation of Oxidative Stress Response by CosR, an Essential Response Regulator in Campylobacter jejuni
CosR (Campylobacter oxidative stress regulator; Cj0355c) is an OmpR-type response regulator essential for the viability of Campylobacter jejuni, a leading foodborne pathogen causing human gastroenteritis worldwide. Despite importance, the function of CosR remains completely unknown mainly because of cell death caused by its knockout mutation. To overcome this technical limitation, in this study...
