Biochemistry · Basic Sciences

How it begins

Estudio avanzado y exhaustivo de la desregulación biológica de la sepsis. Un desglose riguroso de las cascadas de señalización inmunometabólicas, alteraciones endoteliales y mitocondriales, biomarcadores de última generación, y la aplicación del análisis molecular en medicina de precisión.

What it covers

  1. Definitions and Evolution of Clinical-Biochemical Criteria (Sepsis-3)
  2. Pathogen Recognition Mechanisms: PAMPs, DAMPs and PRRs
  3. Intracellular Signaling in Sepsis: NF-κB, MAPK and IRF Pathways
  4. The Cytokine Storm: Kinetics and Mechanisms of Action
  5. Endothelial Dysfunction: Vascular Glycocalyx, Permeability and Nitric Oxide
  6. Immunopathology of Sepsis: Hyperinflammatory Phase vs. Immunoparalysis (CARS)
  7. Sepsis-Induced Coagulopathy (SIC) and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
  8. Mitochondrial Dysfunction and "Cellular Hibernation"
  9. Procalcitonin (PCT): Biogenesis, Kinetics and Clinical Utility
  10. C-Reactive Protein (CRP) and Acute Phase Kinetics
  11. Serum Lactate: Hyperlactatemia Type A vs. Type B, Lactate Clearance
  12. Complete Blood Count and Derived Indices: Neutrophil/Lymphocyte Ratio and MDW
  13. Biomarkers of Acute Kidney Injury Associated with Sepsis (Sepsis-AKI)
  14. Biomarkers of Sepsis-Induced Myocardial Dysfunction (SIMD)
  15. Biomarkers of Barrier and Glycocalyx Integrity
  16. Cellular and Soluble Immune Markers: monocytic HLA-DR, sCD14-ST (Preseptin)
  17. Second Wave Cytokines and Additional Acute Phase Proteins (IL-6, IL-8, LBP)
  18. Complex Acid-Base Imbalance in Sepsis: Stewart's Physiological Approach
  19. Carbohydrate Metabolism: Hyperglycemia from Stress and Insulin Resistance
  20. Dyslipidemia and Lipid Metabolism in Sepsis: The role of Lipoproteins (HDL/LDL)
  21. Endocrine Dysfunction: Hypothalamus-Pituitary-Adrenal Axis and Sick Euthyroid Syndrome
  22. Genomics and Transcriptomics in Sepsis: Identification of Clinical Endotypes
  23. Metabolomics and Proteomics Applied to Septic Shock
  24. Ultra-Rapid and Molecular Microbiological Diagnosis
  25. Advanced Hemodynamic Monitoring and Biochemical Tissue Perfusion
  26. Extracorporeal Support: Hemoperfusion with Adsorption Cartridges
  27. Directed Immunomodulation: Hydrocortisone, Vitamin C and Thiamine
  28. Precision Medicine in Sepsis Oncology and Future Horizons
