South African television personality,Derek Watts, recently shared that he was suffering from sepsis and "would basically have to learn to walk again." Sepsis, a life threatening condition, happens when the body has an excessive immune response to an infection in the blood stream. This overreaction...

Bacterial sepsis, a life-threatening systemic response to infection, closely mimics non-infectious systemic inflammatory response syndrome, complicating rapid differentiation between septic and non-septic conditions14,15. The integration of AI applied to EHRs holds promise for enhancing the accurate ...
safety such as clinical deterioration scoring, sepsis prediction, surgery complication prediction, and readmission prediction. We also found that almost half of these AI applications were home grown by the organizations themselves rather than created by vendors, supporting the findings in the study mentio...
For patients, "this isn't something, if you're feeling sick, that you should start shopping around for," Wu says. "By that time, it'll be too late." In fact, even when you're hospitalized, patients probably won't know if a hospital uses AI to help detect sepsis because these tool...
MRSA is abacterium that causes infections, most commonly skin infections. However, it can also lead to more serious conditions like pneumonia and sepsis. Who is at Risk of Contracting MRSA? Anyone can contract MRSA. Transmission is more likely in crowded environments where people share equipme...
However, it should be noted that the addition of levosimendan to the standard treatment in adults with sepsis was associ- ated with a lower likelihood of successful weaning from mechanical ventilation and a higher risk of supraven- tricular tachyarrhythmias [93]. Therefore, its efficacy and ...
Identifying the infection source in a sepsis patient is important [1] as it allows for better antibiotic choices, recognizes the need for ancillary treatment, and identifies the need for source control interventions [2, 3]. Searching for the source of infection cannot be disconnected from the ...
Artificial intelligent (AI) systems used in medicine are often very reliable and accurate, but at the price of their being increasingly opaque. This raises
How does sepsis affect the respiratory system? Can your immune system fight off the flu? How does HIV disrupt homeostasis? Why was the flu pandemic of 1918 so deadly? What is the pathophysiology of influenza? How was the swine flu pandemic handled?
