Since Froedtert Hospital adopted the test, the mortality rate for sepsis patients has decreased by 42% and hospital length of ...

A new blood test could quickly diagnose those at risk of sepsis and bring a 'paradigm shift' in treatment, according to early results from a clinical trial. The "low–cost" test takes just 45 minutes ...

In a potential paradigm change for sepsis diagnostics, a new test predicted sepsis soon after infection in mice - well before blood clotting and organ failure - enabling early antibiotic treatment and ...

Photo and schematic of the microfluidic device. A drop of blood is deposed at the centre and filters extract neutrophils that then migrate to peripheral maze. All along, their behaviour is monitored ...

Physicians should take at least one blood culture from sepsis patients before administering antibiotics, as the therapy can create less reliable test results, according to a study published in Annals ...

Scientists at Stanford (Calif.) University have found blood tests can shorten the time it takes to identify sepsis in patients from three days to less than one hour. Sanford Assistant Professor of ...

“We actually found a new particle in the human body that had never been described before,” explained Alex Marki, MD, an instructor at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI). “That’s not something ...

Sepsis can be described as a very dangerous medical condition triggered by an immune system response. In most cases of ...

Sepsis occurs when the body works so hard to fight an infection that the over-activated immune system harms a patient's own tissues as collateral damage. As a result, blood vessels can become leaky ...

Scientists show that when a molecule known as c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) becomes active in sepsis, it increases the production of a protein called B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) -- the more BNP ...
