Abstract
I am pleased to join Professor Gullo in welcoming all of you to the Sixth Organ Failure Academy Meeting here in Trieste, Italy, and to the program today, “An update on the pathophysiology of and potential therapy for sepsis and organ dysfunction”.
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 solitaiy purpose .... it does mischief
