COVID-19 is an infectious disease primarily of the respiratory tract that resulted in more than 4 million documented deaths by the first half of 2021. About 5% of those infected progress to severe or life-threatening COVID-19 presenting severe lung damage or even multiple organ dysfunction. Sepsis and COVID-19 share many pathophysiological and clinical features such as consumptive thrombo…
Post-septic patients, after hospital discharge, present high mortality rate, reaching 30% after one year, 70% after two years, and 81.9% after five years. High incidence of causes of post-septic patient death and prognostic markers, after hospital discharge, remain unknown and require investigation. There is a close relationship between plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) - and ther…
Sepsis is a disease of the elderly, since the average age of septic individuals is 65 years old. The elderly, in addition, has a higher mortality from this disease.Septic encephalopathy is a common manifestation in sepsis and contributes significantly to a worse prognosis. The present study aims to conduct a large-scale transcriptomic analysis of young and aged rats subjected to septic sh…

Similar to sepsis and septic shock, in COVID-19 there is exacerbated cytokine production, known as "cytokine storm". In previous studies by our group, the expression of Heat Shock Protein (HSP) 70 was reduced in monocytes from patients who survived…
