		In fact, this combination of organ failures is not uncommon as both are organs that attempt to rid the body of toxicity and products of metabolism.
		In type 2 hepatorenal syndrome, the kidney failure is more gradual, allowing the body to compensate for some of the double organ failure.
		The combined failure of the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system is also not uncommon as the two organs function quite closely with one another.

		It was commissioned in 1871 by Queen Victoria, who wanted the world's biggest, loudest, most lavish organ for the hall named after her late husband (no jokes please).
		Organ failure was diagnosed just ahead of the Saturday-evening Prom, in which the "Voice of Jupiter" had a walk-on part in Charles Ives' epic Fourth Symphony (written for huge orchestra, separate celestial band, chorus, organ, two grand pianos, and requiring conductor plus assistant).
		The organ specialists Manders, who had undertaken the two-year refurbishment, were consulted, but nothing could be done in time for the Prom at 7.30pm.

	Improvements in critical care decrease risk of post-injury multiple organ failure
		Multiple organ failure (MOF) following injury is a leading cause of in-hospital death and is currently believed to be the result of uncontrolled, systemic inflammation, according to background information in the article.
		Single organ failure is defined by a dysfunction grade of one or greater on a scale of zero (best) to three (worse).
		Further, the association between severity of injury and multiple organ failure became less strong in the second half of the study period, suggesting that the effect of injury severity on the development of multiple organ failure decreased over time, the authors report.

	eMedicine - Multisystem Organ Failure of Sepsis : Article by Sat Sharma, MD, FRCPC, FACP, FCCP, DABSM
		Multiple organ dysfunction is a continuum, with incremental degrees of physiological derangements in individual organs; it is a process rather than an event.
		Organ dysfunction or organ failure may be the first clinical sign of sepsis, and no organ system is immune from the consequences of the inflammatory excesses of sepsis.
		Development of sequential organ failure, despite adequate supportive measures and antimicrobial therapy is a harbinger of a poor outcome.

		The incidence of organ failure in infected necrosis was not higher compared with sterile necrosis, and patients with increased amount of necrosis did not have an increased prevalence of organ failure (P>0.05).
		The aim of this study was to analyze the relationship between extent of necrosis, pancreatic infection, hospital death due to organ failure.
		The relationship of organ failure to the extent of pancreatic necrosis and infection of necrosis was analyzed.

		As the seven-hour night wound down with one of the label’s compulsory group sing-alongs, he was jumping around on the risers, puffing an accordion across his chest.
		Instead, The Ugly Organ is a concept album centered on the recurring figure of a grotesque robed organist, who extracts tales of betrayal and surrender from a cohort of loosely related characters.
		Kasher even went so far as to annotate the music in the liner notes with cues and wardrobe descriptions — summoning sleigh bells, angry women, harlequins and, at one point, the ugly organist’s appearance as a butcher who turns on his creator — the singer — and tells him to cut all this dramatic shit.

		Acute multiorgan failure syndrome is a severe, life-threatening complication of pain episodes that may occur in patients with otherwise mild sickle cell disease.
		The onset of organ failure was associated with fever,rapid fall in hemoglobin level and platelet count, nonfocal encephalopathy, and rhabdomyolysis.
		Acute multiorgan failure is initially heralded by a fall in hemoglobin and platelet count from baseline.

		For all their weight and might, pipe organs are extremely sensitive; small changes in temperature, even over a short period of time, can shift an organ out of tune.
		The report, in acknowledging that "it is difficult to accurately predict the environmental interference with the organ music," uses as its benchmark an outdoor organ in San Diego.
		It is of a similar size, the same age, and also manufactured by Austin Organs, and it draws healthy crowds on a regular basis; according to Lyle Blackinton, the organ's curator, concerts there attract audiences as large as 3,000 people.

	RedOrbit - Health - Effects of N-Acetylcysteine on Microalbuminuria and Organ Failure in Acute Severe Sepsis*: Results ...
		Severity of illness and degree of organ failure were determined by using, respectively, the APACHE (acute physiology and chronic health evaluation) II score and the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score.
		In these conditions, increased microalbuminuria matches the severity of the insult and correlates with the degree of organ failure.5,6 Microalbuminuria may thus reflect the evolution of systemic capillary leakage and could therefore be a useful parameter to assess the efficacy of therapies aiming to reduce endothelial damage.
		The degree and progression of organ failure was assessed daily using the sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score.19 Cardiovascular, respiratory, coagulation, hepatic, central nervous, and renal systems were scored from 0 (normal) to 4 (most severe dysfunction) with the worst physiologic value for each day recorded.

	eMedicine - Multisystem Organ Failure of Sepsis : Article Excerpt by: Sat Sharma, MD, FRCPC, FACP, FCCP, DABSM
		Background: In 1914, Schottmueller wrote, "Septicemia is a state of microbial invasion from a portal of entry into the blood stream which causes sign of illness." The definition did not change significantly over the years because sepsis and septicemia were considered to refer to a number of ill-defined clinical conditions in addition to bacteriemia.
		Several terms were cloned thereafter, such as multiple organ failure, multiple system organ failure, and multiple organ system failure, to describe this evolving clinical syndrome of otherwise unexplained progressive physiological failure of several interdependent organ systems.
		Alteration in organ function can vary widely from a mild degree of organ dysfunction to frank organ failure.

		To evaluate the performance of total maximum sequential organ failure assessment (SOFA) score and a derived measure, delta SOFA (total maximum SOFA score minus admission total SOFA) as a descriptor of multiple organ dysfunction/failure in intensive care.
		A higher SOFA score, admission to the ICU from the same hospital, and the presence of infection on admission were the three major variables associated with a longer length of stay in the ICU (additive regression coefficients: 0.85 days for each SOFA point, 4.4 for admission from the same hospital, 7.26 for infection on admission).

		Growing new organs to take the place of damaged or diseased ones is moving from science fiction to reality, according to University researchers.
		Hammerman is a leader in the burgeoning field of organogenesis, which focuses on growing organs from stem cells and other embryonic cell clusters known as organ primordia.
		Unlike stem cells, organ primordia cannot develop into any cell type — they are locked into becoming a particular cell type or one of a set of cell types that make up an organ.

	Bestselling author and syndicated columnist Mike Fumento writes: "Life-Saving Swine."
		Ironically, it's precisely because techniques in organ transplantation have tremendously improved that grisly trafficking in human organs has increased tremendously and the waiting list for organ transplants keeps growing.
		This means transferring organs such as hearts, kidneys, lungs, and livers from pigs or other animals to humans.
		Since pig organs are the right size for humans, and since swine are cheap and easy to breed, scientists have long considered them potentially the best donors.
