In November 2001, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved drotrecogin alfa (activated) (DrotAA) for adults who had severe sepsis a high risk of death. The FDA required study to evaluate efficacy DrotAA low death.We randomly assigned adult patients with death (defined by an Acute Physiology Chronic Health Evaluation [APACHE II] score <25 or single-organ failure) receive intravenous infusion placebo (24 microg per kilogram body weight hour) 96 hours in double-blind, placebo-controlled,...

Clinical trials with novel therapeutic agents for severe sepsis have suggested that patients might respond differently depending on causative microorganism. Data from a large, placebo-controlled trial of recombinant human drotrecogin alfa (activated) (DrotAA) were analyzed by type microorganism treatment-associated differences in mortality, coagulopathy, and inflammatory response. Compared placebo, mortality rates associated DrotAA consistently reduced each group (gram-positive bacteria,...

BACKGROUND. Ribavirin is active in vitro against hantaviruses, but the findings of an open trial use intravenous ribavirin for treatment hantavirus cardiopulmonary syndrome (HCPS) were inconclusive.Subjects with suspected HCPS prodrome or phase without shock eligible randomization to receive either (33 mg/kg [<or=2 g], followed by 16 [<or=1 g] given every 6 h 4 days and 8 [<or=.5 3 days) placebo (administered 7 until initial Sin Nombre virus antibody test result was confirmed be negative)....

In earlier we examined case system equal rings parallel planes, as they might form rear sphere steady motion. Nisi and Porter have shown that lowest speed at which ring 8·14 v / d where kinematic viscosity fluid diameter sphere. Such vortices has been proved to be only partially stable, it therefore inferred their production occurs...
