- The Management of the Open Abdomen in Trauma and Emergency General Surgery: Part 1-Damage Control
- Published on Jun 1, 2010 from J Trauma
- Background: The open abdomen technique, after both military and civilian trauma, emergency general or vascular surgery, has been used in some form for the past 30 years. There have been several hundred citations on the indications and the management …
- Contrast-Induced Nephropathy in Elderly Trauma Patients: Erratum
- Published on Apr 1, 2010 from J Trauma

- Early Microvascular Changes in Sepsis and Severe Sepsis
- Published on Apr 1, 2010 from Shock
- Efforts to improve survival from sepsis are focusing increasingly on intervention during the earliest stages of this disease. The importance of derangements in microvascular flow in patients with established sepsis is well recognized. However, little…
- Relation of the Weather and the Lunar Cycle With the Incidence of Trauma in the Groningen Region Over a 36-Year Period: Erratum
- Published on Apr 1, 2010 from J Trauma

- Efficacy and Safety of Dopamine Versus Norepinephrine in the Management of Septic Shock
- Published on Apr 1, 2010 from Shock
- The optimum septic shock vasopressor support strategy is currently debated. This study was performed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of norepinephrine (NE) and dopamine (DA) as the initial vasopressor in septic shock patients who were managed wit…
- Variability in Central Venous Pressure Measurements and the Potential Impact on Fluid Management
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- In the intensive care unit (ICU) of our tertiary care university medical center, central venous pressure (CVP) measurements derived from bedside monitors differ considerably from measurements by trained intensivists using paper tracings. To quantify …
- Acute Kidney Injury Classification: Comparison of Akin and Rifle Criteria
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- The Acute Kidney Injury Network (AKIN) group has recently proposed modifications to the risk of renal failure, injury to kidney, failure of kidney function, loss of kidney function, and end-stage renal failure (RIFLE) classification system. The few s…
- Fluid Resuscitation: Past, Present, and the Future
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- Hemorrhage remains a major cause of preventable death following both civilian and military trauma. The goals of resuscitation in the face of hemorrhagic shock are restoring end-organ perfusion and maintaining tissue oxygenation while attempting defin…
- What's New in Shock, March 2010?
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- No abstract available
- A Novel Noninvasive Impedance-Based Technique for Central Venous Pressure Measurement
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- Knowledge of central venous pressure (CVP) is considered valuable in the assessment and treatment of various states of critical illness and injury. We tested a noninvasive means of determining CVP (NICVP) by monitoring upper arm blood flow changes in…
- The Interaction of Soluble Tie2 With Angiopoietins and Pulmonary Vascular Permeability in Septic and Nonseptic Critically Ill Patients
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- Circulating angiopoietin (Ang) 1 may inhibit and Ang-2 may enhance pulmonary vascular permeability in septic and nonseptic patients with or at risk for acute lung injury or acute respiratory distress syndrome. We hypothesized that the soluble form of…
- Complex Liver Trauma With Bilhemia Treated With Perihepatic Packing and Endovascular Stent in the Vena Cava: Erratum
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from J Trauma
- No abstract available
- In Vivo and in Vitro Effects of the Anticoagulant, Thrombomodulin, on the Inflammatory Response in Rodent Models
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- Sepsis remains a major health threat in intensive care medicine. The physiological functions of the coagulation cascade extend beyond blood coagulation and play a pivotal role in inflammation. We investigated whether the use of recombinant thrombomod…
- Gender Differences in Inflammatory Markers in Children
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- No clear explanation exists to understand how sex hormones and/or chromosomes affect the immune system. In vitro studies of human lymphoid cells also show sex differences in immune function. To evaluate these differences in frequent pediatric emergen…
- Post-Burn Hepatic Insulin Resistance Is Associated With Endoplasmic Reticulum (Er) Stress
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- Insulin resistance with its associated hyperglycemias represents one significant contributor to mortality in burned patients. A variety of cellular stress-signaling pathways are activated as a consequence of burn. A key player in the cellular stress …
- Heme Oxygenase 1 Protects Against Hepatic Hypoxia and Injury From Hemorrhage Via Regulation of Cellular Respiration
- Published on Mar 1, 2010 from Shock
- Heme oxygenase 1 (HO-1) is an important regulator of the cellular response to stress and inflammation. These investigations test the hypothesis that HO-1 overexpression protects against hemorrhage-induced hypoxia by regulating cellular respiration an…
- Assessing Shock Resuscitation Strategies By Oxygen Debt Repayment
- Published on Feb 1, 2010 from Shock
- Identification of occult shock is a major clinical problem compounded by inadequate criteria for assessing the efficacy of fluid resuscitation. We suggest that these problems may be resolved in part by understanding both the physiological mechanisms …
- The Role of Hyperglycemia in Burned Patients: Evidence-Based Studies
- Published on Jan 1, 2010 from Shock
- Severely burned patients typically experience a systemic response expressed as increased metabolism, inflammation, alteration of cardiac and immune function, and associated hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia has been associated with an increased risk of mo…
- Preconditioning Mesenchymal Stem Cells With Transforming Growth Factor-Alpha Improves Mesenchymal Stem Cell-Mediated Cardioprotection
- Published on Jan 1, 2010 from Shock
- Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are a promising therapy for acute organ ischemia in part due to their paracrine production of growth factors. However, transplanted cells encounter an inflammatory environment that mitigates their function and survival, …
