Sepsis is characterised by dysregulated immune responses to infection, leading to multi-organ dysfunction and high rates of mortality. With increasing survival rates in recent years long-term neurological and psychiatric consequences have become more apparent in survivors. Many patients develop sepsis associated encephalopathy (SAE) which encompasses the profound but usually transient neuropsychiatric syndrome delirium but also new brain injury that emerges in the months and years post-sepsis.

Background: Sepsis-associated liver injury (SALI) is a critical component of sepsis-induced multiple organ dysfunction with high mortality. Identifying biomarkers for risk stratification is essential. Red cell distribution width (RDW), indicating variation in red blood cell volume, has been linked to adverse outcomes in various diseases.

Serum lactate and base deficit as prognostic markers in acute burns patients.

Ann Burns Fire Disasters

Resuscitation of burns remains a fundamental problem in burn care. Traditional endpoints such as mean arterial pressure and urine output guide fluid therapy for optimal resuscitation, but an ideal marker remains controversial. Base deficit and serum lactate are markers of global tissue acidosis and inadequate oxygenation.

Background: The neonatal Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (nSOFA) score is an organ dysfunction score developed for predicting mortality risk in preterm neonates with proven late-onset neonatal sepsis (LONS) and necrotising enterocolitis. However, the utility of the nSOFA score in determining the risk of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) or mortality in patients with suspected LONS is unknown.

Methods: We performed a dual-centre retrospective cohort study of preterm (gestational age <32 weeks) neonates suspected of LONS, from 2016 to 2020 at two neonatal intensive care units.

Neonatal sepsis results in significant morbidity and mortality, but early detection is clinically challenging. In a neonatal rat model of endotoxic shock, we characterised unique infrared thermographic (IRT) profiles in skin temperature that could identify risk of later mortality. Ten-day old rats were placed in a thermally stable isolette and IRT images of cranial (T), scapula (T) and rump (T) skin temperature were obtained continuously for 8 h following an intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) or saline.
