Terlipressin: a promising vasoactive agent in hemodynamic support of septic shock.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: At present, terlipressin is predominantly used for the management of bleeding gastric and esophageal varices, as well as hepato-renal syndrome secondary to liver cirrhosis. Owing to its high and relatively selective affinity to vascular ... Read more...

Monocytic HLA-DR expression in intensive care patients: interest for prognosis and secondary infection prediction.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVES: To test early measurement of human leukocyte antigen-DR expression on circulating monocytes (mHLA-DR) as prognostic marker, and the trend of mHLA-DR recovery for the prediction of late secondary infection risk in a large intensive care ... Read more...

Influence of innate cytokine production capacity on clinical manifestation and severity of pediatric meningococcal disease.

29 Sep 2009 OBJECTIVE: To analyze the role of the innate production capacity for tumor necrosis factor, interleukin-1beta, interleukin-12, and interleukin-10 in the clinical presentation and severity of meningococcal disease. DESIGN: Whole blood cultures from ... Read more...
