by Uppsala University Credit: CC0 Public Domain The biomarker human neutrophil lipocalin HNL was previously shown to be a useful indicator of bacterial infections. Now, the dimeric form of HNL may also be used to effectively monitor the success of antibiotic treatment in sepsis. The first promising results in this regard were published in 2019, and...

Anticancer drugs: a new hope for sepsis treatment
INSTITUTO GULBENKIAN DE CIENCIA The body’s extreme response to infection, a condition called sepsis, kills 11 million people every year. This is because to survive a serious infection it is not enough to get rid of the infectious agent, which is currently done with relative effectiveness; it is also necessary to limit the damage these and the immune response cause on the organs....

Researchers create novel device to measure nerve activity for treatment of sepsis and PTSD
by Xochitl Rojas-Rocha, University of California – San Diego The custom design allows for free movement without distorting the adhesiveness and robustness of the physical structure of the electrode array. (a) The custom surface electrode array is adhesive integrated, flexible, and non-invasively attached to the subject’s anterior cervical neck, placed lateral to the trachea and...
