Sepsis begins with an infection—bacterial, viral or fungal—that initiates a systemic inflammatory response. This, in turn, drives loss of vascular integrity that causes vascular leakage ...

Now researchers writing in Frontiers in Science explain how systems immunology can help us understand and treat sepsis — and how this could cut the death toll of future pandemics, no matter what ...

Sepsis, sometimes called septicaemia or blood poisoning, happens when the body’s immune system goes into overdrive in response to an infection. The initial problem could be anything from a chest ...

The association of each with sepsis death was estimated in the data from 1995-1996 by the odds ratio and the 95% confidence intervals (CI). Those with significant association (lower limit of CI ...

While you’ve probably heard about sepsis, you might be wondering what causes it. Sepsis can’t be passed on to another person but it is “life-threatening” for those who do develop it.

“Despite the increased understanding of sepsis pathophysiology and the application of advanced clinical treatments, sepsis remains a major cause of health loss worldwide with a high health-related ...

Advances in the understanding of the pathophysiology of sepsis have occurred in the last decade. Previously, sepsis was viewed primarily as an inflammatory disorder. More recent studies indicate ...

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have uncovered how a molecule found on certain bacteria may drive blood clotting in sepsis, a life-threatening condition that causes about 8 ...
