Not every child recovers from sepsis in the same way. The challenge is knowing who will need follow-up care. In this week's #PartnerSpotlight, Dr. Lukáš Homola explains how #BEATsepsis is already helping shape post-ICU follow-up for pediatric patients. 🎥https://youtu.be/CTnpYogCmBI

New review published! 📖 Michal Pastorek, Ľudmila Podracká and colleagues summarize the latest understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying pediatric sepsis in Česko-Slovenská Pediatrie, bringing current research to clinicians through a Czech-/Slovak-language professional journal.

"The answer is combining analytical power with common sense." In our latest EPAC Spotlight, Brendon Scicluna (University of Malta) explains why integrating clinical, experimental and computational expertise is key to advancing sepsis research. 🎥https://youtu.be/73CdvDGznaM #BEATsepsis

Sepsis is too complex for any one discipline to solve. In our first EPAC Spotlight, Luciana Berod explains why collaboration between clinicians and basic scientists is key to improving life after sepsis. 🎥https://youtube.com/watch?v=ofrBsT7bw0o #BEATsepsis

BEATsepsis at #ESS2025 in Dubrovnik! Marcela Hortova-Kohoutkova @hortovamarcela.bsky.social shared insights from a pediatric cohort, Martin Helan showed the clinician’s view from infection to PICS/PSS, and Conny Schneider @currifex.bsky.social highlighted open innovation for better post-sepsis care.

Got to celebrate a successful day with my favorite @beatsepsis.bsky.social people, the coordinators from @friclab.bsky.social : @hortovamarcela.bsky.social, Jan Frič & team who visit Vienna for the @iuis-online.bsky.social congress! These people keep the show running and do a terrific job at it!

Our Conny Schneider @currifex.bsky.social talked to Ulrika Knutsson from Sepsisfonden and Kristoffer Strålin on how Sweden handles post-sepsis health pathways. Great things happen when the right people come together and when health systems can turn insights into action. But there’s still work ahead!

BEATsepsis is heading to Dubrovnik! 🧬💡 Marcela Hortová Kohoutková from @friclab.bsky.social‬‬ will present on pediatric immune shifts after sepsis. Conny Schneider from ‪@lbitrauma.bsky.social‬ will share how Open Innovation can improve post-sepsis care. See you at #ESS2025!

BEATsepsis supports the United Against Sepsis Initiative and will participate in the meeting on September 9, 2025, in Brussels. United Against Sepsis brings together survivors, healthcare professionals, researchers & policymakers. More info and registration: www.esicm.org/events/unite...

Did you know you can rewatch the World Sepsis Congress wherever you are? All sessions are online now, including the Satellite Symposium co-organized by BEATsep lnkd.in/dnTeZCCX featuring Marcela Hortova-Kohoutkova from ‪@friclab.bsky.social‬ on long-term immunometabolic defects of sepsis survivors

📣Attention all hospital-based physicians!📣The BEATsepsis Consortium invites you to take our 10‑min survey on immunotherapy practices in #sepsis & septic shock. Your insights can help guide future studies and clinical practice. Join us: redcap.fnusa.cz/redcap/surve...

BEATsepsis is co-organizing a Satellite Symposium at the 5th #WorldSepsisCongress! Join us on Feb 25, 2025, 16:00 CET for “Metabolism of Sepsis: Avenue for Improved Diagnosis & Therapy” including @friclab.bsky.social's @hortovamarcela.bsky.social with insights on sepsis-associated immunosuppression!

📣 For #WorldSepsisMonth, we introduced our multi-language channels! Information in these channels is aimed at the public, to raise awareness on the signs, pathophysiology and consequences of sepsis. www.instagram.com/beatsepsis for English content or add _sk , _cz or _dach to the handle.

Marcela Hortová-Kohoutková and Gabriela Blažková from FricLab at the 1st European ImmunoMetabolism Conference #EIMN2024, presenting their insights into the dynamics of sepsis progression in pediatric patients and its persisting long-term consequences, & meeting Rafael Argüello from CNRS Marseille.

Popular Czech magazine Zázraky medicíny (Wonders of Medicine) dedicated 5 pages to an interview with our Marcela Hortová-Kohoutková and Jan Frič. They talk about the challenges of post-sepsis care and how the BEATsep project aims to identify and handle long-term complications in sepsis survivors.

Our Marcela Hortová-Kohoutková and Jan Frič raising awareness for sepsis and its long-term consequences on CzechTV’s morning program!

Horizon Europe has dedicated 35 Million € towards projects tackling sepsis. We are proud to be part of the big picture to beat sepsis on a large scale, internationally and interdisciplinary! Presentation by Evangelos Giamarellos, past president of the European Shock Society.

CzechTV, Czechias main broadcaster, visited us to report about the official launch of BEATsepsis. The TV report is also available online and has so far been watched by more than 360.000 people! We are overwhelmed and grateful for the support and interest we are receiving from Czechia.

Just Marcin being Marcin, closing his introduction of @lbitrauma.bsky.social with a spontaneous rendition of Shakespeare's Henry V. 🎭 "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, for he who shares the @beatsepsis.bsky.social grant with me shall be my brother (and sister)!"

Event starting strong with Welcome speeches by ICRC, Faculty of Medicine, Masaryk University, Brno and FNUSA-ICRC leaders, showing how big of a support @beatsepsis.bsky.social has in the Brno medical & research landscape!

The @beatsepsis.bsky.social Kickoff Meeting was hands down the best scientific gathering I have been to and likely ever will. So before I say anything else, I like to highlight the people who made this possible: Marcela Hortová-Kohoutková & Jan Frič and Petra Kozlová, FNUSA-ICRC. Thank you! 👏👏👏

Eleven partners, six countries, one goal: to understand and address the long-lasting consequences of #sepsis. The International Consortium for Sepsis Survivorship @beatsepsis.bsky.social met for their first kickoff meeting and I am proud & excited to be a part of it with @lbitrauma.bsky.social !

Our kickoff event at FNUSA-ICRC in Brno marked the launch of BEATsepsis. We thank all participants from the consortium for your input, discussion, and heartfelt dedication to work on our common goal. To beat sepsis. Not only in the ICU. Also during everything that comes after. Thank you!
