Novel Biomarkers in Sepsis
Elevated levels of PCT serve as a valuable biomarker in sepsis, aiding in the early diagnosis and monitoring of bacterial infections, and guiding therapeutic decisions. CRP is a commonly used biomarker for inflammation, and its levels are frequently elevated in sepsis, providing clinicians with an indication of the severity of the immune response. Elevated lactate levels are associated with tissue hypoxia and serve as a crucial biomarker in sepsis, aiding in the assessment of organ dysfunction and prognosis. Soluble Triggering Receptor Expressed on Myeloid Cells-1 (sTREM-1): Elevated sTREM-1 levels are indicative of bacterial infections, making it a promising biomarker for identifying sepsis of infectious origin. Endothelial Biomarkers (E-selectin, VCAM-1): Increased expression of endothelial biomarkers reflects endothelial dysfunction in sepsis, contributing to the understanding of the pathophysiology and progression of the condition.

Upcoming Case Discussions
Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer
Join us for a special webinar on World Ovarian Cancer Day, titled "Gynaecologist’s Guide to Ovarian Cancer." This expert-led session will delve into the latest advancements in early diagnosis, risk stratification, and evidence-based management of ovarian cancer. Tailored for gynecologists and healthcare professionals, the session will also explore real-world case discussions and multidisciplinary treatment approaches. Let’s come together to raise awareness and empower clinicians in the fight against this silent but deadly disease
Massive Transfusion Protocol
Massive Transfusion Protocol (MTP) is a standardized medical procedure activated in cases of severe hemorrhage, typically involving the rapid administration of large volumes of blood products. The goal is to restore circulating volume, maintain hemostasis, and prevent the lethal triad of hypothermia, acidosis, and coagulopathy. MTP usually involves a balanced ratio of packed red blood cells, plasma, and platelets, often in a 1:1:1 ratio. Early activation and coordination among trauma teams, laboratory services, and blood banks are essential for its success.
Sleep Apnea and Daytime Fatigue
Sleep Disorder Breathing is a term for a group of conditions with abnormal breathing patterns during sleep. This affects everyday functioning and well being.There are few types of SDB which include upper airways resistance, hypopnea, apnea, catathrenia and heavy snoring. People suffering with SDB can have daytime symptoms that result in poor sleep also. There can also be sleepiness, depressed mood, irritability and cognitive dysfunction.
