After adjusting for a number of factors — including age, gender, surgery type, baseline cognition, presence of a vascular comorbidity and the presence of a genetic variant that has been associated with an increased risk of Alzheimer's disease — the authors used a three - stage approach to examine the association
between inflammatory cytokines and delirium.

As an Associate Professor at OSU, my research has been concentrated in the areas of aging, neuroimmunology, and neurotrauma.Overall, my research aim is to determine the degree to which the bi-directional communication
between the brain and the immune system is affected by age, stress, and traumatic CNS injury and to delineate the mechanism by which
inflammatory cytokine pathways cause long - lasting complications (e.g., cognitive decline and depression).
Although vaccination induces an
inflammatory response during pregnancy, the magnitude and the duration of response is much lower and shorter, respectively, for influenza vaccination than viral infection.27 Like infection, influenza vaccination during pregnancy has been reported to induce a transient increase in the levels of a number of proinflammatory
cytokines, including interleukin 6, tumor necrosis factor α, and C - reactive protein.27 - 30 Studies on mice found an association
between high interleukin - 6 levels during pregnancy and abnormal behavior and brain structure.19 However, in epidemiological studies, associations
between maternal
cytokine levels and ASD have been mixed.

between CRP and reduced tissue T3 (112,270), so individuals with elevated CRP (greater than 3 mg / l) or other
inflammatory cytokines will have a significant reduction in cellular T3 levels.
