Brain, Endocrine and Immune Interactions: Implications in Intensive Care

  • Conference paper

  • 68 Accesses

Part of the book series: Update in Intensive Care and Emergency Medicine ((UICM,volume 9))

Abstract

With the trend to specialize in medicine and biomedical research, the body has been studied as a series of individual systems; this has afforded us a wealth of detailed knowledge at the system level, but often at the expense of a functional knowledge of the whole. Within the past few years, important functional links among the brain, endocrine and immune systems have been demonstrated to play a role in the intact organism’s adaptive and maladaptive responses to injury and disease. Precise knowledge about the interactions among these networks may allow for exciting new therapeutic strategies with direct relevance to the practice of critical care and emergency medicine.

The views of the author(s) do not purport the position of the Department or the Department of Defense, (para 4-3, AR 360-5). Research was conducted in compliance with the Animal Welfare Act and other Federal statutes and regulations relating to animals and experiments involving animals, and adheres to principles stated in the ‘Guide for the Care and Use of Laboratory Animals’, NIH publication 86’23, 1985 edition.
