Abstract
BACKGROUND: The past 25 years have witnessed immense progress in our understanding of the systemic, tissue-specific, and cellular consequences of severe injury and infection. Despite such insights, considerable controversy remains regarding appropriate biologic and management interventions to prevent or ameliorate the associated adverse outcomes. METHODS: A review of several scientific developments arising from studies initiated at Cornell University Medical College during the tenure of Dr. G. Tom Shires. The implications of those and subsequent studies are discussed. RESULTS: An understanding of patient-specific variation and adaptability could direct individualized biologic and management interventions for severe injury and infection. CONCLUSION: Despite more detailed appreciation of the molecular mechanisms of danger and pathogen recognition and response biology, we have much to learn about the complexity of severe injury and infection. There is a great need to extend our investigation of these mechanisms to experimental and stress-modified clinical scenarios.
