  1. 1. Severe sepsis : epidemiology and sex-related differences in inflammatory markers

    Författare :Sofie Jacobson; Ola Winsö; Stefan Söderberg; Peter Larsson; Else Tönnesen; Umeå universitet; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Severe sepsis; Leptin; Adiponectin; Mannose-binding lectin; Sex; Anaesthesiology; anestesiologi;

    Sammanfattning : Background.  Sepsis is a syndrome associated with high mortality rates, substantial morbidity and high costs of care. The incidents of sepsis is reported to be high and controversy exists whether gender affect severity or outcome. LÄS MER

  3. 2. Sepsis - an ED perspective. Sepsis Alert & Biomarkers

    Författare :Mari Rosenqvist; Kardiovaskulär forskning - hypertoni; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Sepsis; Emergency Department; biomarkers; MR-proADM; penKid; triage; Sepsis Alert; implementation;

    Sammanfattning : Background: Sepsis, the life-threatening organ dysfunction due to dysregulated host response to an infection, is a medical emergency. Early diagnosis and treatment are important factors to prevent mortality and morbidity. However, sepsis can be diffuse and difficult to interpret. LÄS MER

  4. 3. On sepsis - epidemiology, prediction and diagnostics

    Författare :Lisa Mellhammar; Infektionsmedicin; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sepsis; Epidemiologi; Early Warning Score; Bacteremia;

    Sammanfattning : The overall aims of this thesis were to improve prediction, diagnostics and knowledge on epidemiology of sepsis. In paper I, we developed and evaluated an integrated platform for rapid analysis of sepsis-causing organisms directly from blood samples. LÄS MER

  5. 4. Adrenomedullin in sepsis

    Författare :Oscar Lundberg; Anestesiologi och intensivvård; []
    Nyckelord :MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; sepsis; biomarker; adrenomedullin; endothelin-1; high-sensitivity troponin t; intensive care unit; emergency department; septic shock;

    Sammanfattning : AbstractBackgroundSepsis is a syndrome difficult to diagnose and stratify. The epidemiology of sepsis and consistency of criteria fulfillment with diagnosis coding in Swedish intensive care units (ICU) are largely unknown. Biomarkers can be of help to understand pathophysiology, identify clusters within sepsis and to individualize treatment. LÄS MER

  7. 5. Aspects on sepsis : treatment and markers

    Författare :Anna Gustafsson; Malmö högskola; []
    Nyckelord :antimicrobial peptides; cytokines; lipoteichoic acid; lipopolysaccharide; soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor; sepsis;

    Sammanfattning : Sepsis is one of the greatest challenges in critical care medicine today, while the treatment of sepsis and evaluation of its severity is complicated. The first part of this thesis presents two approaches on the use of antimicrobial peptides in sepsis treatment, relying on both soluble and immobilized peptides. LÄS MER
