Many emergency departments have implemented sepsis protocols since the 2001 publication of results from the early goal-directed therapy trial, which showed early targeted resuscitation lowers mortality. As part of an attempt to improve clinical and operational outcomes for emergency departments across British Columbia, we reviewed sepsis management literature and considered sepsis protocol implementation in the province’s emergency departments. During the literature review we found that many observational studies confirmed an association between implementation of emergency sepsis protocols and decreased mortality...

Acute inflammatory injury is the primary cause of sepsis, leading to various organ failures. Bazedoxifene (BAZ) has been proven to have anti-inflammatory effects. However, its effects on sepsis-induced intestinal injury are unclear. Here, we demonstrated the beneficial effects of BAZ on intestinal injury and explored the underlying mechanisms using cecal ligation and perforation (CLP)-mediated sepsis mouse model and in vitro cultured intestinal epithelial MODE-K cells. We found that BAZ elevated the survival rate of septic mice and attenuated CLP-triggered intestinal damage...

Sepsis is one of the most common causes of death, which is closely related to the uncontrolled systemic inflammation. Dysregulation of M1 macrophage polarization is the primary contributor to serious inflammation. In this study, it is revealed that the murine homologue of circRNA SCAR (steatohepatitis-associated circRNA ATP5B regulator), denoted as circRNA mSCAR hereafter, decreases in the macrophages of septic mice, which correlates with the excessive M1 polarization. To restore circRNA mSCAR in mitochondria, exosomes encapsulated with circRNA mSCAR are further electroporated with poly-D-lysine-graft-triphenylphosphine (TPP-PDL), and thus TPP-PDL facilitates the bound circRNA delivered into mitochondria when the exosomes engulf by the recipient cells...

During septic shock, fluid therapy is aimed at increasing cardiac output and improving tissue oxygenation, but it poses two problems: it has inconsistent and transient efficacy, and it has many well-documented deleterious effects. We suggest that there is a place for its personalization according to the patient characteristics and the clinical situation, at all stages of circulatory failure. Regarding the choice of fluid for volume expansion, isotonic saline induces hyperchloremic acidosis, but only for very large volumes administered...

INTRODUCTION: Glutamine (GLN) and n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3PUFAs) have been shown to potentially possess immune-modulating and disease-modifying properties in experimental and clinical critical illness when given with parenteral nutrition (PN). However, we recently showed in experimental cancer models that combinations of GLN/n-3 PUFA may antagonize benefits of either nutrient alone. Thus, our aim was to explore the effects of PN-containing GLN and n-3PUFA mixed lipid emulsion (MLE) alone and in combination in experimental sepsis...

People living with HIV (PLHIV) admitted to hospital have a high risk of death. We systematically appraised evidence for interventions to reduce mortality among hospitalised PLHIV in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Using a broad search strategy with terms for HIV, hospitals, and clinical trials, we searched for reports published between 1 Jan 2003 and 23 August 2021. Studies of interventions among adult HIV positive inpatients in LMICs were included if there was a comparator group and death was an outcome...

Hypothermia (axillary temperature less than 36.5°) is a major source of neonatal morbidity and mortality, with a disproportionate burden of disease in low- and middle-income countries. Despite the importance of thermoregulation on newborn outcomes, the global epidemiologic landscape of neonatal hypothermia is poorly characterized. Clinical decision support (CDS) software provides point-of-care recommendations to guide clinical management and may support data capture in settings with limited informatics infrastructure...

Pasteurella multocida can infect a multitude of wild and domesticated animals, with infections in cattle resulting in hemorrhagic septicemia (HS) or contributing to bovine respiratory disease (BRD) complex. Current cattle vaccines against P. multocida consist of inactivated bacteria, which only offer limited and serogroup specific protection. Here, we describe a newly identified surface lipoprotein, PmSLP, that is present in nearly all annotated P. multocida strains isolated from cattle. Bovine associated variants span three of the four identified phylogenetic clusters, with PmSLP-1 and PmSLP-2 being restricted to BRD associated isolates and PmSLP-3 being restricted to isolates associated with HS...
