Comparability of SIRS and SIRS-2 Classifications with External Response Bias Criteria
… compared the classification groups between the SIRS and SIRS-2 using samples of disability claimants and criminal defendants. Results suggest that the newly revised SIRS-2 may have less clinical utility than the original SIRS. Implications of these results for both clinical and forensic settings …

Influence of gut function, on SIRS and clinical outcomes in surgical patients
… importance of gut function and its influence on SIRS and clinical outcomes and investigate the state of gut function and its influence on SIRS and clinical outcomes in surgical patients, further develop a method to optimise gut function and test the influence of this optimisation package on …

Reducing False Positive Feigning Classifications on the SIRS among Criminal Defendants with a History of Trauma
… the Structured Interview of Reported Symptoms (SIRS; Rogers, Bagby, & Dickens, 1992) leading to their misclassification as malingerers. Rogers, Payne, Correa, Gillard, and Ross (2009) created the trauma index (TI) by summing 3 SIRS scales to reduce the number of false positives in a severely …

Aspects of sepsis/SIRS - An experimental study on fluid therapy, vitamin C and plasma volume in increased permeability
… called Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (SIRS). One feature of SIRS is increased capillary permeability, caused by disruption of the capillary endothelium due to e.g. bacterial toxins, cytokines, pro-inflammatory hormones and free oxygen radicals. This will result in leakage of plasma …

The role of mitochondrial DAMPs on the inflammatory response in an <i>in vitro</i> model of canine SIRS
SIRS and sepsis are common systemic inflammatory conditions that affect both dogs and humans. Despite advances in optimizing supportive care, case fatality levels for these syndromes unfortunately remain high in a large subset of patients. Novel therapies are desperately needed in an attempt to …

Serum calcitonin gene-related peptide concentrations in the horse and their relationship to the Systemic Inflammatory response
… dysfunction. The exact incidence of sepsis (SIRS due to bacterial infection) has not been reported in the equine literature (Roy 2004). Since early recognition and treatment of sepsis are associated with improved outcome the search for markers to accurately predict presence of sepsis and …

Cancer Incidence In First and Second Degree Relatives of Brca1 and Brca2 Mutation Carriers
… of mutation. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were used to compare the observed incidence of 20 primary cancer sites to the expected incidence of each cancer based on calculated risk estimates according to a subject’s age.</p> <p><em>BRCA1</em> families had increased SIRs for breast and …

A discrete-time waning immunity model for the spread of an immune escape pathogen
… Susceptible-Infectious-Immune-Susceptible (SIRS) model is a waning immunity model but is unable to generate rapid high amplitude oscillations. The oscillatory dynamics generated by SIRS-like models are often boosted by additional mechanisms and model features such as demography, a seasonal …

Early Identification of Sepsis in the Walk-in Setting
… to promote positive patient outcomes. A modified-SIRS screening was implemented for 30 days on all adult patients who presented to the walk-in clinic. There was low compliance with screening by the nursing staff and incomplete vital sign assessments prevented accurate screening and sepsis …

Glucocorticoid Receptor Density and Binding Affinity in Horses with Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome
… with systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and to determine where any alterations in HPA axis function occur in these patients compared to healthy adults. For the first part of the study, peripheral venous blood was collected from 3 healthy research horses on 3 days. Peripheral blood …

Änderungen der intestinalen Permeabilität mit systemischer Zytokinaktivierung nach grossen Operationen bei der Entstehung des Multiorganversagens
… wird eine überschießende Immunantwort (SIRS) beobachtet, die als wichtige Ursache des Multiorgandysfunktionssyndroms (MODS) angesehen wird. Der Pathomechanismus dieses frühpostoperativen SIRS ist nicht bekannt. Bei der "Darm-Sepsis-Hypothese" geht man davon aus, dass der Zusammenbruch …

Improving Early Sepsis Identification on Inpatient Units
… by a systemic inflammatory response (SIRS). As a time critical illness requiring early identification and treatment, delayed recognition of sepsis can lead to organ failure and death. Effective sepsis protocols need to be established and implemented to reduce the number of patients …

Second primary cancers following breast cancer in the general population and in BRCA1 and BRCA2 pathogenic variant carriers

Septic and Critical Conditions in Children Admitted to Intensive Care Unit. Clinical Profile, Early Diagnosis, and Prognosis // Септични и критични състояния при деца, лекувани в интензивно отделение: клиничен профил, ранна диагностика и прогноза
… intoxications predominate in non-infectious SIRS cases. The study found that over 40% of cases were microbiologically confirmed, with Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumoniae, and Staphylococcus aureus as the leading pathogens. A comparative analysis of prognostic scoring systems …

Understanding lactate in an intensive care setting
… criteria (Martin, Angus, and infection with SIRS). We found that increased lactate levels were associated with a higher ICU mortality, higher 30 day mortality, longer ICU length of stay, and higher SOFA and SAPS I severity scores in all ICU admissions and in all three sepsis cohorts. Sepsis …

Nonlinear Dynamics, Stochastic Methods, And Predictive Modelling For Infectious Disease: Application To Public Health And Epidemic Forecasting
… analysis of data. Next, we extend the classical SIRS (Susceptible-Infectious-Recovered-Susceptible) model by integrating innovative stochastic mean-reverting transmission processes to more accurately capture the variability observed in real-world epidemic data. Lastly, we provide a methodology …

Risk of Subsequent Neoplasms During the Fifth and Sixth Decades of Life in the Childhood Cancer Survivor Study Cohort
… incidence of SNs, standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and excess absolute risk of subsequent malignant neoplasms (SMNs), and relative risks (RR) for SMNs and non-melanoma skin cancers (NMSCs), were calculated. In total, 679 SNs were diagnosed ≥40 years of age, including 196 SMNs, 419 NMSCs, 21 …
