Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
We welcome submissions for this latest Special Issue focussing on understanding sepsis. The clinical recognition and management of sepsis is complicated by its heterogeneity. There are numerous potential sources of infection, variability in individual patient responses and hence variations in severity. Despite this and the significant efforts to define the best treatment for sepsis, treatment usually involves the administration of fluids, antibiotics and vasopressors designed to re-balance physiological parameters. Novel insight into sepsis pathophysiology is important to understand and recognize this illness and will enable the much-needed innovations in treatment.
This issue will focus on the latest advances in:
- The complex pathophysiological features of sepsis;
- Molecular diagnostics and novel biomarkers;
- Innovations in early interventions.
Manuscripts suitable for this issue will describe human studies or pre-clinical models that provide molecular insight into these themes. Review and original research articles are welcome.
Dr. Erika Bosio
