Is adiponectin deficiency associated with severe polymicrobial sepsis , high inflammatory cytokine levels , and high mortality?
These results suggest that adiponectin deficiency may cause the high mortality and the high inflammatory cytokine levels in mice with polymicrobial sepsis.
Maintaining perfusion pressure at physiologic levels during normothermic CPB (80-90 mm Hg) is associated with less early postoperative cognitive dysfunction and delirium. This perfusion strategy neither increases morbidity, nor does it impair organ function.
