Current Research by our I.C.U. physicians.
The physicians in the I.C.U. at St. Paul's Hospital are engaged in world leading research. We will be adding articles for the staff's benefit to inform them as to what these physicians are currently working on.
- Inhaled beta-2 agonist salbutamol and acute lung injury: an
association with improvement in acute lung injury.
- Relative value of multiple plasma biomarkers
as risk factors for coronary artery disease and death
in an angiography cohort.
- MACGT: multi-dimensional automated clustering
genotyping tool for analysis of microarray-based
mini-sequencing data.
- Vasopressin: The preferred vasopressor in sepsis?..Not today, not yet.

- Toll-like receptor stimulation in cardiomyoctes decreases contractility and
initiates an NF-κB dependent inflammatory response.
- Protein C 1641 AA is associated with decreased survival and more organ dysfunction in severe sepsis.
