PTX3 as a potential biomarker of acute lung injury: supporting evidence from animal experimentation
Email this article to a colleague.
Save this article to My Clippings.
Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion These results support the clinical finding that PTX3 may be a useful biomarker to the reflect severity of lung injury and
provide effective therapies. The interplay between PTX3 and TF could be a potential mechanism that mediates lung injury.

Conclusions and recommendations Several measures are recommended, though none carries grade 1A. We recommend prompt resuscitation of the circulation with
special attention to providing adequate hydration whilst avoiding high-molecular-weight hydroxy-ethyl starch (HES) preparations,
maintaining adequate blood pressure using vasopressors in vasodilatory shock. We suggest using vasopressors in vasodilatory
hypotension, specific vasodilators under strict hemodynamic control, sodium bicarbonate for emergency procedures administering

Conclusion None of the examined volume solution was inert to the kidney. In a CLP rodent sepsis model, animals infused with balanced

Abstract Arterial catheterization is the second most common invasive procedure performed in the intensive care unit. Despite the ubiquity
of the procedure, complications including failure to place the catheter occur. While many clinicians are familiar with the
use of ultrasound (US) guidance to decrease complication rates of central venous catheter insertion, fewer are familiar with
the use of ultrasound to guide arterial catheterization. This manuscript reviews the evidence for the utility of ultrasound
for this indication. Technical aspects of the procedure and limitations of the existing evidence are revi...

Conclusions Higher PAI-1 levels are associated with increased mortality and fewer ventilator-free days among pediatric patients with ALI.
These findings suggest that impaired fibrinolysis may play a role in the pathogenesis of ALI in pediatric patients and suggest
that PAI-1 may serve as a useful biomarker of prognosis in patients with ALI.

Conclusions Limited data exist concerning the safety and efficacy of moderate hypothermia and ICP monitoring for the treatment of ICH
in acute liver failure. The available evidence shows that induction of moderate hypothermia in this clinical setting is feasible
and possibly efficacious. Well-designed prospective clinical trials are warranted in this challenging context, given the potential
of providing a bridge to liver transplantation or even clinical recovery.

Conclusions FDG-PET/CT scanning is of additional value in the evaluation of suspected infection in critically ill patients in whom conventional
diagnostics did not lead to a diagnosis. Apart from the high accuracy, in this study it appeared that, in addition to conventional
diagnostic techniques that were routinely performed, a normal FDG-PET/CT ruled out important infections requiring prolonged
antibiotic therapy or drainage. Since sensitivity is lower in highly metabolic active tissues (e.g., endocarditis, meningitis),
the FDG-PET/CT scan is not suited to detect infections in these tissues.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusions Cerebral autoregulation is primarily preserved in acute ICH, but a secondary decline mainly ipsilateral to the ICH can occur.
This is associated with poor clinical status, ventricular hemorrhage, lower cerebral perfusion pressure and worse clinical
outcome.

Conclusions Arterial CO and monocyte HO-1 protein expression were increased in critically ill patients, particularly those with severe
