Early sepsis does not stimulate reactive oxygen species production and does not reduce cardiac function despite an increased inflammation status

IL-1 Receptor 8: a novel player in immunothrombosis

In addition to be a key component of blood hemostasis and coagulation, platelets have recently been implicated in thrombotic events associated with immune dysfunctions or inflammation. Platelets participate to innate immune responses and inflammation by releasing a

Erythrocytes, not leukocytes, clear bacteria from blood circulation

CD64 as a sepsis marker

Sepsis is the most common cause of mortality in critically ill patients worldwide. Despite with huge costs, it is difficult to treat sepsis. Early diagnosis sepsis and timely treatment are vital to improving outcomes and lightening the

Electronic health record alerts lead to quicker treatments for patients
