  2. 1. Aspects of platelet transfusions and the association between routine coagulation tests and outcome

    Author : Sigurdur Benediktsson; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : Patients with chemotherapy-induced bone marrow aplasia often develop severe thrombocytopenia which requires platelet transfusion. However, up to 25% of the patients show a less than adequate response to the transfusion. READ MORE

  4. 2. Modulating Organ Dysfunction in Experimental Septic Shock : Effects of Aminoglycosides, Antiendotoxin Measures and Endotoxin Tolerance

    Author : Markus Castegren; Jan Sjölin; Claes Frostell; Uppsala universitet; []

    Abstract : Sepsis and invasive bacterial infection is a major cause of human disease and death worldwide. Streptococcus pyogenes is one of the major pathogens responsible for bacterial infections, which range from mild to severe and life threatening conditions. S. READ MORE

  7. 5. Hyperinflammation in critically ill

    Author : Tatiana von Bahr Greenwood; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: A wide spectrum of inflammatory responses, with overlapping characteristics, is encountered in critically ill patients in intensive care. At one extreme, critically ill patients may develop the potentially fatal condition secondary hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (sHLH), characterized by excessive inflammation (hyperinflammation), driven by a ‘cytokine storm’, and multiple organ failure.
