INTRODUCTION Prior research has demonstrated that platelet count and inflammation are dominant contributors to hypercoagulability. Our objective is to determine whether elevated platelet count and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) have an association with the development of venous thromboembolism (VTE) in hospitalized patients with a high clinical index of suspicion for thromboembo...

Background: Only a few studies have addressed seamen’s health although they have dangerous working conditions. We studied musculoskeletal diseases among fishermen and seafarers with focus on carpal tunnel syndrome and rotator cuff syndrome. Methods: Cohorts of all male Danish seafarers 1986-1998 and fishermen 1964-1998. We calculated standardised incidence ratios (SIR) and compared SIRs for two...

BACKGROUND Hemodynamic status and cardiac function are important factors for predicting pulmonary embolism (PE) prognosis. Although inflammation is considered a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis, the prognostic significance of both systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and leukocytosis has not been elucidated. This study evaluates PE prognostic factors, including SIRS and leukocytes...

Neutrophils (PMNs) and cytokines have a critical role to play in host defense and systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) have been shown to extracellularly kill pathogens, and inflammatory potential of NETs has been shown. Microbial killing inside the phagosomes or by NETs is mediated by reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS). The present s...

Heart disease is among the leading causes of death in all populations. Cardiac dysfunctions are major complications in patients with advanced viral or bacterial infection, severe trauma and burns accompanied with multiple organ failure - collectively known as systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS). SIRS, which is often subsequent to sepsis, is clinically featured by hypotension, tachypn...

Sepsis is a life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by disturbed response to infection. The development of sepsis preceded Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS), which the overall inflammatory body severe lesion. role opportunistic pathogens in CER and may be considered proven, but value intestinal microbiome remains underestimated. survey systematized data on cell wall or membrane c...

The traditional SIRS virus propagation model is used to analyze the malware behavior of wireless rechargeable sensor networks (WRSNs) by adding a new concept: low-energy status nodes. SIRS-L has been developed in this article. Furthermore, influence time delay during charging nodes needs be considered. Hopf bifurcation studied discussing that chosen as parameter. Finally, properties are explore...

BACKGROUND Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) is a clinical condition representing the culmination of the activation of a complex network of acute endogenous mediators. MATERIALS AND METHODS We investigated both the relationship between the results of SIRS assessments in 212 trauma patients at the time of hospital arrival and measures of trauma severity determined using the Injury...

We studied the usefulness of serum procalcitonin (PCT), interleukin-6 (IL-6), lipopolysaccharide binding protein (LBP) levels and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels, in differentiating between systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and sepsis in critically ill patients. Methods. In this single centre prospective observational study we included all consecutive patients admitted with SIRS or...
