Abstract

We have previously reported that combination therapy with polymyxin-B direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) and recombinant thrombomodulin (rTM) is effective in patients with septic shock accompanied by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Two previous studies reporting the favorable effect of early initiation of PMX-DHP for septic shock did not focus on the combination therapy of PMX-DHP and rTM. This retrospective study included 47 consecutive patients who underwent the combination therapy of PMX-DHP and rTM for septic shock with DIC from August 2011 to August 2016. Main exposure was early or late initiation of PMX-DHP. PMX-DHP initiated within 12 hours after catecholamine administration was designated as early group (N = 25) and later than 12 hours as late group (N = 22). Main outcome was 28-day survival rate. The patient characteristics were age median 73 (IQR 68-78) years, 26 men (55%), APACHE II score 32.7 ± 7.7 and lactate 26.0 (18.0-41.0) mg/dL. The 28-day survival rate after PMX-DHP initiation was 76.6% and was not significantly different in the two groups. In the early group, APACHE II score was lower (P = .02), and lactate was higher (P = .005) than in the late group. Lactate was the only predictor of 28-day mortal...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
