Abstract

Monocytes and neutrophils play a key role in host defence by sensing and destroying microorganisms [1]. We evaluated the expression of cellular receptors implicated in pathogen recognition, cell activation and migration on both cell types during sepsis. Blood samples were collected from 77 septic patients (SP) at admission (D0), from 45 patients after 7 days of therapy (D7) and from 40 healthy volunteers (HV).

Highlights

  • Vascular calcification is a regulated process, which associates with coronary artery disease (CAD) and occurs through an increase in transcription factor expression such as RUNX2, MSX2 and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), inducing calcium deposition

  • The objective of this study was to verify the incidence of delirium through the CAM ICU instrument in ICU patients followed by physiotherapists

  • There was a low incidence of delirium in ICU patients followed by physiotherapists

Summary

Introduction

Vascular calcification is a regulated process, which associates with coronary artery disease (CAD) and occurs through an increase in transcription factor expression such as RUNX2, MSX2 and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), inducing calcium deposition. The objective of this study was to evaluate the tendency of the plasma concentration and clearance of PCT as biomarkers for prognosis of patients with severe sepsis and septic shock, compared with another early prognosis marker, the number of SIRS criteria at sepsis diagnosis. The objective of this study was to evaluate the serum activity of MMP-2 and MMP-9, length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay and mortality in patients with septic shock. The objective of this study was to determine the influence of serum thiamine concentrations on lactate levels, GPx activity, length of hospital stay, length of ICU stay and ICU mortality in patients with septic shock. Hypothermia at ICU admission was associated with greater severity scores and increased hospital mortality in this sample of surgical patients studied.
