This paper reports on the consensus conference on the management of intra-abdominal
infections (IAIs) which was held on July 23, 2016, in Dublin, Ireland, as a part of the annual …

Secondary peritonitis and intra-abdominal sepsis are a global health problem. The life-
threatening systemic insult that results from intra-abdominal sepsis has been extensively …

Initially thought to be a structure that only provided support to the abdominal contents, the
mesentery has now gained special attention in the scientific community. The new approach …

Sepsis and hemorrhage can result in injury to multiple organs and is associated with an
extremely high rate of mortality. We hypothesized that peritoneal negative pressure therapy …

Aims. This study was aimed at investigating whether elevation of heme oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1)
expression could lead to restoring intestinal tight junction (TJ) function in a rat liver …

Gut ischemia is common in critically ill patients, promoting thrombosis and inflammation in
distant organs. The mechanisms linking hemodynamic changes in the gut to remote organ …

AIM: To study whether over-starvation aggravates intestinal mucosal injury and promotes
bacterial and endotoxin translocation in a high-altitude hypoxic environment. METHODS …

Background: Sepsis-induced inflammation in the gut/peritoneal compartment occurs early in
sepsis and can lead to acute lung injury (ALI). We have suggested that inflammatory ascites …

Sepsis accounts annually for nearly 10% of total US deaths, costing nearly $17 billion/year.
Sepsis is a manifestation of disordered systemic inflammation. Properly regulated …

An interpretation of the metabolic response to injury in patients with severe accidental or
surgical trauma is made. In the last century, various authors attributed a meaning to the post …
