INDUSEM Translates Research to Care in Post Trauma Sepsis

Written by INDUS MED NEWS    26 September, 2016    10:32 am .

Over a Decade ago INDUSEM started its Signature Program to bring Basic Scientists and Clinicians to work together to map outcomes in patients with post trauma sepsis. This was the Maiden and Premier Translational Medical Sciences Movement for India which led to the first PhD Program in Emergency Medicine in India at AIIMS New Delhi.

Till date our program has produced 3 PhD Candidates who will carry forward the Indian Vision of Bringing Solutions to Cure Challenges in Acute Medical Conditions.

When we started this novel idea there were Many concerns and over the years collaboration and creativity have taken precedence.

Below is one of our Landmark Publications in CYTOKINE JOURNAL.

This publication culminates the years of dedicated work to create a niche for India in the field of Translational Sciences in Emergencies Trauma and Shock.

Coexistence of Th1/Th2 and Th17/Treg imbalances in patients with post traumatic sepsis. Dublu Lal Gupta, Sanjeev Bhoi, TeenaMohan  SagarGalwankar  D.N. RaoCytokine 88 (2016) 214–221.

The studymaps the imbalance in Th17 cells and Treg cells in the peripheral blood of patients with sepsis and states that higher ratio of Th17 and Treg cells may be associated with poorer prognosis. These markers could be the predictors of poorer outcomes in patients in trauma shock. Having these high markers could call for eraly aggressive interventional and prevent mortal sepsis in Trauma Patients.
