Sepsis Survivors Need Better Rehabilitation Care After Hospital Discharge
Sepsis Survivors Need Better Rehabilitation Care After Hospital Discharge:
A pair of medical scientists has released new recommendations for post-hospital care for patients who survive from sepsis, which is a common cause of hospital readmission.
Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that can occur when the body has an extreme response to infection. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the 4 types of infections often related to sepsis are of the lung (pneumonia), kidney (urinary tract infection), skin, and gut. While anyone can get sepsis, infants, children, the elderly, and individuals with medical issues such as cancer and diabetes are at highest risk. Without rapid treatment, sepsis can progress rapidly and lead to tissue damage, organ failure, and death. Sepsis is causing an increasing toll on mortality rates and health care costs in hospitals in the United States, where there are more than 1.5 million cases of these infections each year. In fact, a 2014 study in The Journal of the American Medical Association found that sepsis contributes to 1 in every 2 to 3 hospital deaths, making it the leading cause of death in US hospitals.

12-year-old girl dies of Sepsis after flu misdiagnosis, family says
12-year-old girl dies after flu misdiagnosis, family says - CBS News:
A 12-year-old girl from California died several days after being misdiagnosed with the flu, her family says.............
It wasn't until her daughter's memorial service that Lino learned the child had died of cardiac arrest and septic shock after a bacterial infection entered her bloodstream, according to the newspaper.

Hybrid Antibiotic Created with Molecular 'Rope' Kills Resistant Bacteria
Hybrid Antibiotic Created with Molecular 'Rope' Kills Resistant Bacteria | American Council on Science and Health:
Due to increasing antibiotic resistance, microbiologists are on the lookout for unconventional ways to kill bacteria. Atypical methods range from phage therapy, in which bacteria-killing viruses are unleashed upon the microbes, to the use of "bed-of-nails" surfaces that physically rip bacteria apart.
Such out-of-the-box thinking was displayed yet again by a team of scientists from the University of Manitoba who created a hybrid antibiotic by tying together two different antibiotics with a molecular "rope."
Algorithm allows docs to predict septic shock
Algorithm allows docs to predict septic shock | American Council on Science and Health:
Sepsis: it s a little discussed condition that packs a deadly punch. In fact more Americans die annually from sepsis than from AIDS, breast cancer, and prostate cancer combined! What s worse is that unlike cancers, sepsis can kill within a matter of hours after its onset.
Sepsis is a condition in which there is a systemic overreaction by the immune system to an infectious agent, i.e. a bacteria, virus, etc, in the blood. The response is often so severe that it can progress into septic shock, which is a life threatening condition characterized by severely low blood pressure.

New device IDs dangerous sepsis bacteria more quickly
New device IDs dangerous sepsis bacteria more quickly | American Council on Science and Health:
Sepsis is a dangerous bloodstream infection, one that can develop from even a minor cut yet lead to organ failure and death. It accounts for about 1.6 million hospitalizations a year (about 4,600 patients every day). Add to that a mortality rate of between 20 and 50 percent, and the FDA s approval of a new device for making more rapid and accurate identification of such bacterial infections seems like very good news indeed.
