Filter by:Sepsis is a complex syndrome that causes lethal organ dysfunction due to an abnormal host response to infection. No drug specifically targeting sepsis has been approved. The heterogeneity in sepsis pathophysiology hinders the identification of patients who would benefit, or be harmed, from specific therapeutic interventions. Recent clinical genomics studies have shown that sepsis patients can be stratified as molecular endotypes, or subclasses, with important clinical implications. Classifying sepsis patients as molecular endotypes revealed that a poor prognosis endotype was characterized by immunosuppression and septic shock. Against this backdrop, the study hypothesis is that a poor prognosis for sepsis is defined by a molecular endotype reflecting impaired innate immune and endothelial barrier integrity in the primary anatomical site of infection.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about the eravacycline combination therapy in multidrug-resistant acinetobacter gaumannii pneumonia. The main question is to evaluate the the effectiveness and safety. Participants will be given Eravacycline and Polymyxin，or other antibiotcs that the Investigator considered suitable. During the clinical trial, participants will be monitored for blood drug concentrations and drug concentrations in the ELF (Epithelial Lining Fluid。Clinical efficacy rate and microbiological clearance rate will be assessed at the same time
Descriptive, retrospective, observational, anonymous, study to evaluate the potential effect of incorporating calcifediol into the therapeutic protocol of patients hospitalized for COVID-19 on mortality and other outcome variables, such as admission to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), to "Gerencia de Atención Integrada (GAI) de Albacete". "Complejo Hospitalario Universitario de Albacete". Albacete (Spain)", based on the files of the MXXI medical records, Information System of the Laboratory (ISL) and Pharmacy.
The purpose of the protocol is to study the pulmonary microbiome in patients who develop pneumonia.
Multicenter double-blind placebo-controlled randomized in parallel groups clinical trial.
The primary aim of this single-center, prospective, randomized, controlled, study is to test the hypothesis that inhalation of NO 200 ppm prevents the development of nosocomial pneumonia in patients at risk after cardiac surgery under CPB. The study is interventional. Examination and treatment of patients is carried out in accordance with the approved standards of medical care for the relevant diseases. During the study, no experimental or unregistered (not approved for use) medical or diagnostic procedures in the territory of the Russian Federation will be carried out. The study includes patients admitted to the Cardiac Surgery Department of Cardiology Research Institute of Tomsk National Research Medical Center for elective surgery with CPB.
The French Society of Intensive Care conducts a comprehensive assessment of current antibiotic therapy practices in critically ill patients suspected of Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia (VAP).
Septic shock (SS) is a life-threatening condition resulting from excessive inflammatory response to bacterial, viral or/and fungal infections. It is associated with dysregulation of the immune system, activation of immune cells, and massive release of cytokines, commonly known as the cytokine storm (CS). The clinical manifestations of SS depend on the initial site of infection. However, the classic symptoms are associated with severe dysfunction of the respiratory and cardiovascular systems, which are observed from the early phase. Respiratory insufficiency frequently requires different forms of oxygen supplementation, including mechanical ventilation and even extracorporeal oxygenation. The severity of respiratory and other organ dysfunction depends on the inflammatory response to the infection and circulating toxins, which correspond to excessive cytokine release. In the past years, several studies documented that reduction of SS-related inflammatory response and CS improved organ function and alleviated the clinical course of SS. Unfortunately, an effective strong anti-inflammatory without side effects medications has not yet been found. Therefore, the use of natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant substances seems very promising. Xanthohumol (Xn) is a natural prenylated chalcone extracted from the female inflorescences of hop cones (Humulus lupus) and possesses strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It is widely used as a supplement to diet. Xanthohumol inhibits CS and has been showed to be an effective medication for reducing the severity of lung injury. It has been documented that Xn inhibits proinflammatory pathways in a different manner. A decrease in cytokine production and release can affect endothelial function and correct inflammatory-related vascular hyperpermeability, reducing uncontrolled water shift to extravascular space and then tissue edema. Clinical observation showed that administration of Xn alleviated clinical course, improved respiratory function, and reduced mortality in critically ill COVID-19 patients. Xanthohumol is safe and well tolerated by humans, and no adverse effects have been reported yet. Based on its strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, it can be speculated that the use of Xn can effectively reduce the inflammatory response and improve the clinical course in SS patients.
The goal of this randomised controlled trial is to determine if adults presenting with symptoms of an acute lower respiratory tract infection in general practice where the general practitioner suspects CAP, who have FLUS performed as an addition to usual care, have antibiotics prescribed less frequent compared to those given usual care only.
Bronchial asthma may present with symptoms other than the commonly reported complaints (cough, chest tightness, shortness of breath and wheezing). Less common symptoms include chronic or recurrent productive cough, inspiratory dyspnoea or recurrent pneumonia. Children presenting with these symptoms are often diagnosed with asthma bronchiale and benefit from antiasthmatic management.
