Examination of 15 autopsies of puerperas who died in the first postpartum days has identified the pathomorphological and immunohistochemical signs differentiating labor sepsis from the other type - postpartum sepsis. Labor sepsis that runs typically of a systemic inflammatory reaction is characterized by initial antenatal inflammation of the fetal membranes and placenta with the latter's immunoimaging of granulocytes, macrophages, plasma cells, and tumor necrosis factor. Moreover, labor sepsis runs in the presence of suppressed cellular and humoral immunity in the spleen and lymph nodes. The relative intact pattern of the uterine endo- and myometrium is retained with generalization of an inflammatory reaction along the organs. The pathologist who analyzes female pyoinflammatory diseases in the postpartum period should meticulously investigate all placental components in addition to a puerpera's organs.

Sepsis is a life-threatening disease characterized by excessive systemic inflammation and coagulopathy. Platelets and neutrophils form a "dangerous alliance" through crosstalk, promoting the inflammatory cytokine storm and coagulation disorders during sepsis. Platelet-neutrophil crosstalk leads to the formation of platelet-neutrophil complexes (PNCs), which are the central "protagonists" of this "dangerous alliance.

Background: For patients with small-size colorectal liver metastases, growing evidence suggests thermal ablation to be associated with fewer adverse events and faster recovery than resection while also challenging resection in terms of local control and overall survival. This study assessed the potential non-inferiority of thermal ablation compared with surgical resection in patients with small-size resectable colorectal liver metastases.
Methods: Adult patients (aged ≥18 years) from 14 centres in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Italy with ten or fewer small-size (≤3 cm) colorectal liver metastases, no extrahepatic metastases, and an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0-2, were stratified per centre, and according to their disease burden, into low, intermediate, and high disease burden subgroups and randomly assigned 1:1 to receive either thermal ablation (experimental group) or surgical resection (control group) of all target colorectal liver metastases using the web-based module Castor electronic data capture with variable block sizes of 4, 6, and 8.

Multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is the major cause of mortality of patients in intensive care units. The elusive mechanisms of tissue damage in MODS and limited therapeutic options encourage us to seek effective therapies to MODS. PANoptosis has recently been proven to be the key player in both heat stress and sepsis-mediated MODS.

Coagulopathy in sepsis is common and is associated with high mortality. Although immunothrombosis is necessary for infection control, excessive thrombus formation can trigger a systemic thrombo-inflammatory response. Immunothrombosis plays a core role in sepsis-induced coagulopathy, and research has revealed a complex interplay between inflammation and coagulation.

(, Hi) is an opportunistic bacterium that colonizes the upper respiratory tract of humans and frequently causes meningitis, pneumonia, sepsis, and other severe infections in children. Early and accurate detection of is essential for effective diagnosis and treatment. In this study, we established a novel diagnostic method by integrating the CRISPR-Cas12a detection platform with multiple cross-displacement amplification (MCDA), termed the Hi-MCDA-CRISPR assay.
