Early propranolol treatment induces lung heme-oxygenase-1, attenuates metabolic dysfunction, and improves survival following experimental sepsis.
(Crit Care, 2013-09-10)INTRODUCTION: Pharmacological agents that block beta-adrenergic receptors have been associated with improved outcome in burn injury. It has been hypothesized that injuries leading to a hypermetabolic state, such as septic ... -
Fluid resuscitation practice patterns in intensive care units of the USA: a cross-sectional survey of critical care physicians.
(Perioper Med (Lond), 2016)BACKGROUND: Fluid resuscitation is a cornerstone of intensive care treatment, yet there is a lack of agreement on how various types of fluids should be used in critically ill patients with different disease states. Therefore, ... -
Gene expression-based classifiers identify Staphylococcus aureus infection in mice and humans.
(PLoS One, 2013)Staphylococcus aureus causes a spectrum of human infection. Diagnostic delays and uncertainty lead to treatment delays and inappropriate antibiotic use. A growing literature suggests the host's inflammatory response to the ... -
Host gene expression profiling and in vivo cytokine studies to characterize the role of linezolid and vancomycin in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) murine sepsis model.
(PLoS One, 2013)Linezolid (L), a potent antibiotic for Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), inhibits bacterial protein synthesis. By contrast, vancomycin (V) is a cell wall active agent. Here, we used a murine sepsis model ... -
In-hospital outcomes of premature infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
(Journal of perinatology : official journal of the California Perinatal Association, 2017-07)OBJECTIVE:To characterize in-hospital outcomes of premature infants diagnosed with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). STUDY DESIGN:Retrospective cohort study including premature infants with severe BPD discharged from ... -
Metabolomic derangements are associated with mortality in critically ill adult patients.
(PLoS One, 2014)OBJECTIVE: To identify metabolomic biomarkers predictive of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) mortality in adults. RATIONALE: Comprehensive metabolomic profiling of plasma at ICU admission to identify biomarkers associated with ... -
Patients' Experiences With Staphylococcus aureus and Gram-negative Bacterial Bloodstream Infections: A Qualitative Descriptive Study and Concept Elicitation Phase To Inform Measurement of Patient-reported Quality of Life.
(Clinical infectious diseases : an official publication of the Infectious Diseases Society of America, 2021-07)<h4>Background</h4>Although Staphylococcus aureus and gram-negative bacterial bloodstream infections (SAB/GNB) cause substantial morbidity, little is known regarding patient perceptions' of their impact on quality of life ... -
Portable Optical Microscopy of Murine Dorsal Window Chambers for Studying Anesthesia, Hypoxia, and Sepsis
(2019)In vivo imaging is an important scientific tool for studying bio-molecular interactions, but lack of preserved functionality during imaging restricts scientists’ abilities to gain critical knowledge. Structure can be preserved ... -
Post-cesarean Section Peritonitis at a Referral Hospital in Rwanda: Factors Associated with Maternal Morbidity and Mortality
(2016)Background: Post-cesarean section peritonitis is the leading cause of maternal morbidity and mortality at the main referral hospital in Rwanda. Published data on the management of post-cesarean section peritonitis is limited. ... -
Real-Time Sepsis Prediction using an End-to-End Multi Task Gaussian Process RNN Classifier
(2017)We present a scalable end-to-end classifier that uses streaming physiological and medication data to accurately predict the onset of sepsis, a life-threatening complication from infections that has high mortality and morbidity. ... -
Seven unconfirmed ideas to improve future ICU practice.
(Crit Care, 2017-12-28)With imprecise definitions, inexact measurement tools, and flawed study execution, our clinical science often lags behind bedside experience and simply documents what appear to be the apparent faults or validity of ongoing ... -
Thrombomodulin in disseminated intravascular coagulation and other critical conditions-a multi-faceted anticoagulant protein with therapeutic potential.
(Critical care (London, England), 2019-08-15)Thrombomodulin plays a vital role in maintaining intravascular patency due to its anticoagulant, antiinflammatory, and cytoprotective properties. However, under pathological conditions such as sepsis and systemic inflammation, ... -
Two genes on A/J chromosome 18 are associated with susceptibility to Staphylococcus aureus infection by combined microarray and QTL analyses.
(PLoS Pathog, 2010-09-02)Although it has recently been shown that A/J mice are highly susceptible to Staphylococcus aureus sepsis as compared to C57BL/6J, the specific genes responsible for this differential phenotype are unknown. Using chromosome ...
