Inflammation in itself is not to be considered as a disease . . .
and in disease, where it can alter the diseased mode of action, it
likewise leads to a cure; but where it cannot accomplish that
solitary purpose . . . it does mischief - John Hunter, A Treatise
on the Blood, ITfIlammation, and Gunshot Woundr (London, 1794)1 As
we reached the millennium, we recognized the gap between our
scientific knowledge of biologic processes and our more limited
clinical capabilities in the care of patients. Our science is
strong. Molecular biology is powerful, but our therapy to help
patients is weaker and more limited. For this reason, this book
focuses on the problems of multiple organ failure (MOF), multiple
organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS), and systemic inflammatory
response syndrome is, patients who have severe injuries; require
major, (SIRS) in high-risk patients, that overwhelming operations;
or have serious illnesses requiring intensive care; patients who
have diseases elsewhere, in other organs or systems, that limit
their capabilities to survive a new insult; and patients who are
elderly or at high risk for sepsis or other complications. These
are the patients who need our help. They need the advances in
science, in molecular biology, immunology, pathophysiology,
biochemistry, genetics, high technology, and other areas of maximum
support at the bedside. These advances could potentially have the
greatest impact on improving patient care.
