Host Defense Dysfunction in Trauma, Shock and Sepsis : Mechanisms and Therapeutic Approaches /
This book contains a unique overview of the sequence of steps of host defense impairment that result from injury and lead to multiple organ dysfunction syndrome. The crucial alterations of immune and inflammatory mechanisms as they are seen during ischemia, during inter- mediate inflammatory phases,...
