20% of trauma deaths occur late after the injury. It is usually the result of sepsis, multi-system organ failure, or other complications. In Polytrauma induced sepsis and septic shock patients, antibacterial management is crucial. The knowledge of recent aspects of treatment is decreasing the costs and the resistance of pathogens, morbidity and mortality. Different models of treatment are suggested by authors, basically they are depended on: the patients age, there health condition, the factors of immunodeficiency, at the location of infection and others. Using the key words, the search engines produced articles. The review was made on the studies about Polytrauma induced sepsis and septic shock patients, about their antimicrobial treatment dosage and duration, about the source control and about the methods of early identification of pathogens (Bacteria and Candida). The advantages and disadvantages of early identification were also studied. Also the role if biomarkers were also reviewed. Based on the review, recommendations are given about the recent principles of antibacterial treatment of Polytrauma induced sepsis and septic shock patients.

Background: C-reactive protein (CRP) represents a routine diagnostic marker of inflammation. Dissociation of native pentameric CRP (pCRP) into the monomeric structure (mCRP) liberates proinflammatory features, presumably contributing to excessive immune cell activation via unknown molecular mechanisms.
Results: In a multi-translational study of systemic inflammation, we found a time- and inflammation-dependent pCRP dissociation into mCRP.

Donkey slaughter in West Africa has received limited scientific attention, despite increasing over recent years. This study aimed to explore factors affecting donkey welfare, both ante-mortem and at slaughter, in the Upper East region of Ghana. A total of 134 donkeys at five different slaughter points were assessed using animal-based indicators.

Background: Burn injuries trigger a systemic hyperinflammatory response, leading to multiple organ dysfunction, including significant hepatic damage. The liver plays a crucial role in regulating immune responses and metabolism after burn injuries, making it critical to develop strategies to mitigate hepatic impairment. This study investigates the role of methylation-controlled J protein (MCJ), an inner mitochondrial protein that represses complex I in burn-induced oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, using an in vitro Alpha Mouse Liver 12 cell model.

Post-traumatic osteoarthritis (PTOA) is a painful joint disease characterized by the degradation of bone, cartilage, and other connective tissues in the joint. PTOA is initiated by trauma to joint-stabilizing tissues, such as the anterior cruciate ligament, medial meniscus, or by intra-articular fractures. In humans, ~50% of joint injuries progress to PTOA, while the rest spontaneously resolve.

Cognitive impairment following surgery is a significant complication, affecting multiple neurocognitive domains. The term "perioperative neurocognitive disorders" (PND) is recommended to encompass this entity. Individuals who develop PND are typically older and have increases in serum and brain pro-inflammatory cytokines notwithstanding the type of surgery undergone.
