A novel diagnostic test based on the expression of four RNAs in peripheral blood (SeptiCyte LAB, Immunexpress, Seatle, WA) may facilitate discrimination between infectious and non-infectious causes in this setting [1].
District elevation was a consistent risk for all-cause diarrhea in this setting.
In a subgroup of 800 EED infants (all consenting EED infants reaching 3 months of age from 1 June 2015 to the end of the trial), additional specimens are collected during diarrheal episodes to evaluate the pathogens causing diarrhea in this setting using the TaqMan Array Card, and to compare pathogen-specific diarrhea rates across trial arms [ 105].
Identifying individual causes in the setting of this paradigm should allow targeted and more effective treatment.
S. typhi is a significant cause of vaccine-preventable morbidity while S. pneumoniae may be a leading cause of mortality in this setting.
Determining the diagnostic value of post-mortem needle biopsies in determining cause of death in this setting should be a primary goal of future research.
More than one-third of deaths in urban India were attributed to asphyxia, making it the leading cause of death in this setting.
Sepsis represents an ongoing challenge in intensive care units (ICUs) and remains the most common cause of mortality in this setting [ 1, 2].
Sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS; previously known as veno-occlusive disease of the liver) is the main cause of ARF in this setting [ 41].
Rodrigo Teixeira Amâncio, André Miguel Japiassú and Fernando Augusto Bozza Acute renal failure (ARF) is one of the major determinants of hospital outcome in the critically ill population, and severe sepsis is the main cause of ARF in this setting [ 5].
(But why must benefits in the long run be equal for all?) On this view, society acting through the state is not required to do anything to offset inequalities it has not caused (included in this set of inequalities are many that would be eliminated under a Rawlsian FEO policy).
