Hydrocortisone decreases lethality and inflammatory cytokine and nitric oxide production in rats challenged with B. anthracis cell wall peptidoglycan
Lethal B. anthracis infection produces high proinflammatory peptidoglycan (PGN) burdens in hosts. We investigated whether the lethality and inflammation anthrax PGN can produce are related. (Source: Intensive Care Medicine Experimental)

Regional venous –arterial CO2 to arterial–venous O2 content difference ratio in experimental circulatory shock and hypoxia
Venous –arterial carbon dioxide (CO2) to arterial–venous oxygen (O2) content difference ratio (Cv-aCO2/Ca-vO2) > 1 is supposed to be both sensitive and specific for anaerobic metabolism. What regional hemodynamic ... (Source: Intensive Care Medicine Experimental)
