Are ratios of central venous-to-arterial carbon dioxide content or tension to arteriovenous oxygen content better markers of global anaerobic metabolism than lactate in septic shock patients?
∆ContCO2/∆ContO2 and ∆PCO2/∆ContO2 ratios are more reliable markers of global anaerobic metabolism than lactate. ScvO2 failed to predict the presence of global tissue hypoxia.
An extensive cross-talk between the Notch and TGF-β signaling cascades is present in CCRCC and the functional properties of these two pathways are associated with the aggressiveness of this disease.
