MiRNAs Evaluate the Prognosis of Sepsis

Sepsis

Sepsis is a common cause of death in intensive care unit, timely and accurate diagnosis and treatment directly affect the survival rate. MiRNA is a post-transcriptional small RNA which regulate mRNA expression. The present study was designed to screen several miRNA by microarray which evaluate the sepsis prognosis in order to be a new target for the treatment of sepsis.

Sepsis: Prognosis and Evaluation of Early Diagnosis and Intervention (SPEEDI Study)

SIRSSepsis

BACKGROUND: In November 2003 the Medical Director at Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre, gathered a group of doctors involved in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with sepsis. AMIS: To develop a fast and reliable tool that can guide the physician in the diagnosis and treatment of the septic patient thereby reducing mortality and morbidity. The measurement of markers of inflammation, coagulation, infection and specific bacterial antigens in the same plasma sample will give insight to the pathogenesis of sepsis and SIRS and the bodies responds to the disease. MATERIAL AND METHODES: Case-Control study nested in cohort. 300 patients admitted to the hospital from 1.01.05 to 01.07.06. Copenhagen University Hospital, Hvidovre, an 800 beds hospital, covers a part of Copenhagen with a wide variety in the population's socioeconomic and cultural background. For the analysis of markers the luminex 100 lab analysis system is used. It utilizes xMAP® technology which enables you to simultaneously assay up to 100 analytes in a single well of a microtiter plate, using very small sample volumes. Assay development of a 15-plex is don In-house. COWORKERS & FOUNDING: The following departments at the hospital, are coworkers in the SPEEDI study: Clinical Research Unit, Departments of Infectious Disease, Clinical Microbiology, Clinical Biochemistry, Gastroenterology (incl. surgery), Intensive Care Unit, Emergency Room, and the Hospital Board of Directors. All departments have research experience and a long tradition of publication of scientific works. The study received founding for equipment and salaries during the first phase of the study from the hospitals Board of Directors. Applications to major public foundations in Denmark are awaiting answer. No commercial interest are involved in the study. FUTURE APPLICATIONS: A second phase of the study including children admitted at the hospital is in preparation. The very small sample volume is a great advantage in diagnosing infection in children. The applications of the study results will hopefully provide the physician with the needed tool for a fast and reliable diagnosis, prognosis and treatment guide for the patients suffering from SIRS and sepsis.

Neutrophil Extracellular Traps and Neonatal (PV4991) & Pediatric Sepsis (PV5063)

Sepsis

This study is designed to assess the role of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) in neonatal and pediatric sepsis as well as to evaluate markers of NETs formation as early predictors of neonatal and pediatric sepsis.

Comparison of Sensitivity Between Presepsine and Lactate for the Diagnosis of Severe Sepsis.

Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock

Severe sepsis and sepsis shock are common in emergency department, with a high mortality rate. The potential severity of this disease impose a diagnosis as early as possible to start antibiotic therapy and hemodynamic support. Conventional biomarkers are an important support for the emergency physician. However, comparison of sensitivity and specificity for new biomarkers, like presepsine, suggests that they can be more efficient in this area. In this single-center, prospective, non-interventional study, we propose to compare the sensitivity of presepsine to that of lactate for the diagnosis of severe sepsis and septic shock We emit to main hypothesis that the sensitivity of presepsine is higher than that of lactate for the diagnosis of severe sepsis.

Membrane Shedding During Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock: Pathophysiological and Clinical Relevance...

Severe Sepsis and Septic Shock

Microparticules (MPs) result from plasma cell membrane remodeling and shedding after cell stimulation or apoptosis. MPs are know recognized as a pool of bioactive messengers with merging role in pathophysiology of immune and cardiovascular diseases. MPs have been characterized during septic shock and may contribute to dissemination of pro-inflammatory and procoagulant mediators. This a prospective observational study of circulating MPs and blood coagulation in septic shock patients admitted in medical intensive care units (ICUs) of four tertiary hospitals at baseline (D1, D2, D3, D4, D7).

Peripheral Artery Disease and Sepsis Outcomes

Peripheral Artery DiseasePeripheral Artery Occlusion2 more

The peripheral artery disease (PAD) prevalence is high in the elderly, the diabetic patients, and the patients receiving hemodialysis. To date, there is no guideline recommendation on the screening of PAD in patients admitted to the medical intensive care unit (MICU) for sepsis. We conducted a prospective cohort study focusing on patients admitted to the MICU with the main diagnosis of sepsis. The ankle-brachial indexes are performed within 24 hours after admission. Invasive arterial line monitoring and standard non-invasive measurements are collected. After confirmation of PAD, standard anti-platelet treatments (aspirin and cilostazol) are initiated. The survival before and after the conduction of this trial is compared to historical records. The outcomes including all-cause mortality, stroke, myocardial infarction, minor amputation, major amputation, and prolonged ventilator dependent are to be collected.
