Article Synopsis
- Sepsis negatively affects capillary function and oxygen delivery, potentially worsening patient outcomes.
- Lower levels of immunoglobulin G2 do not contribute to severe flu complications, suggesting other factors may play a role in flu severity.
- New research indicates that intravenous immunoglobulin may provide brain protection during sepsis by blocking harmful immune responses such as complement activation and apoptosis. *
Article Synopsis
- The study assessed the incidence of pneumonia in a cohort of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and identified key risk factors.
- Thirty-six out of 232 SLE patients experienced at least one pneumonia event, leading to a standardized incidence ratio of 5.1, indicating a significantly higher rate of pneumonia compared to the general population.
- Factors linked to pneumonia in SLE patients included disease severity, specific genetic variants (notably the FCGR2A HH genotype), and a history of hospital admissions, even after adjusting for prior immunosuppressive treatment.
Objective: To measure the stability of life-sustaining treatment preferences amongst older people and analyse the factors that influence stability.
Design: Longitudinal cohort study.
Setting: Primary care centres, Granada (Spain).
