  2. 16. On the role of HMGB1 and resistin in severe sepsis and septic shock

    Author : Jonas Sundén-Cullberg; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Severe sepsis and septic shock are serious manifestations of infectious diseases. Mortality ranges from over 30 % in severe sepsis up to 60% in septic shock. Early antibiotic treatment and intensive care are mainstays of therapy, but outside of this, new treatments have only marginally improved survival. READ MORE

  4. 17. Treatment of Pseudomonas aeruginosa using immunoglobulin Y : A porcine experimental model of ventilator-associated pneumonia and septic shock caused by P. aeruginosa

    Author : Alexander Otterbeck; Miklós Lipcsey; Michael Haney; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care; Infektionssjukdomar; Infectious Diseases;

    Abstract : Background: Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients treated in the intensive care unit. The spread of pathogens with anti-microbial resistance mandates the investigation of novel therapeutic strategies. We hypothesized that specific polyclonal anti-P. READ MORE

  5. 18. Nucleator-driven assembly of curli organelles and their pathophysiological role in E. coli septic shock

    Author : Zhao Bian; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Assembly; Curli; NOS2; Nucleator; Sepsis;

    Abstract : The understanding of how polymeric surface structures are assembled in bacteria is one of general interests, which can provide insight into details of macromolecule interactions, and study how proteins fold into domains as assembly modules for building organelles. Protein-protein interactions in various subcellular compartments lead to the assembly of fimbriae at bacterial cell surfaces. READ MORE

  6. 19. Experimental septic shock – Effects of endotoxemia with special reference to pathophysiological responses in the pig
