Impact of Plasma-Lyte pH 7.4 on acid-base status and hemodynamics in a model of...
Noritomi, Danilo Teixeira; Pereira, Adriano José; Bugano, Diogo Diniz Gomes; Rehder, Paulo Sergio; Silva, EliézerOBJECTIVE: Intravenous infusion of crystalloid solutions is a cornerstone of the treatment of hemorrhagic shock. However, crystalloid solutions can have variable metabolic acid-base effects, perpetuating or even aggravating shock-induced metabolic acidosis. The aim of this study was to compare, in a controlled volume-driven porcine model of hemorrhagic shock, the effects of three different crystalloid solutions...
Characterization of an animal model of severe sepsis associated with respirator...
Azevedo, Luciano Cesar Pontes de; Park, Marcelo; Noritomi, Danilo Teixeira; Maciel, Alexandre Toledo; Brunialti, Milena Karina; Salomão, ReinaldoPURPOSE: Pathophysiological studies in humans regarding sepsis are difficult to perform due to ethical and methodological concerns. In this context, animal models of sepsis can be useful to better understand this condition and to test therapeutic strategies. The purpose of this study was to characterize a feasible and clinically relevant model of sepsis in pigs that could be useful for testing different therape...
Evolutive standard base excess and serum lactate level in severe sepsis and sep...
Park, Marcelo; Azevedo, Luciano Cesar Pontes; Maciel, Alexandre Toledo; Pizzo, Vladimir Ribeiro; Noritomi, Danilo Teixeira; Cruz Neto, Luiz Monteiro daPURPOSE: To compare the evolution of standard base excess and serum lactate level between surviving and non surviving patients with severe sepsis and septic shock resuscitated with early goal-directed therapy. METHODS: This is a retrospective study in an intensive care unit of a university tertiary hospital where 65 consecutive severe sepsis and septic shock patients were observed without any intervention in th...
Multiple brain abscesses due to Penicillium spp infection
Noritomi, Danilo Teixeira; Bub, Guilherme Linhares; Beer, Idal; Silva, Aloísio Souza Felipe da; Cleva, Roberto de; Gama-Rodrigues, Joaquim JoséWe present a case of central nervous system (CNS) infection by a member of the Penicillium genera in a HIV-negative man in Brazil. The patient was admitted complaining of loss of visual fields and speech disturbances. CT scan revealed multiple brain abscesses. Stereothacic biopsies revealed fungal infection and amphotericin B treatment begun with initial improvement. The patient died few days later as a consequ...
