Dr. Rincon & team discussing immunological endotypes, secondary to maladaptive reprioritization of myelopoiesis & activation of myeloid cells in severe sepsis survivors.
Congratulations, to the Arizona State University (ASU) senior capstone team on presenting their project, “inSEPStigator: A Rapid Noninvasive Point of Care Device for Sepsis Analysis via Biomarkers” at the ASU Fall Symposium. Their project aims to minimize sepsis complications by providing an affordable device that will successfully quantify sepsis risk…
Specifically, these patients can progress to a condition marked by chronic inflammation and muscle wasting, known as persistent inflammation, immunosuppression and catabolism syndrome, or PICS.
University of Florida researchers are part of a nationwide clinical trial to evaluate whether an anti-cancer medication can be effective against sepsis and septic shock.
