Bacterial infections can quickly turn into sepsis, with its attendant clinical sequelae of inflammation, tissue injury, and organ failure. Paradoxically, sustained inflammation in sepsis may lead to immune suppression, because which the host is unable clear existing infection. Use agents that suppress inflammatory response accelerate whereas use traditional antibiotics does not significantly affect inflammation. In this study, we investigated whether lipoxin A4 (LXA4), a specialized,...

Abstract As a surrogate measure of skin barrier dysfunction, we sought to determine differences in transepidermal water loss (TEWL) among ichthyosis subtypes and correlate TEWL with clinical severity. Subjects Netherton syndrome had the highest values (increased loss), while were lowest subjects epidermolytic ichthyosis. correlated severity only lamellar age was inversely ( r s = −.213, P .02). is an objective that complements disease may be used as adjuvant monitor treatment response.
