"In patients with resuscitated cardiac arrest complicating acute myocardial infarction, prompt prehospital management and early revascularization were associated with a 54% survival rate at 6 months. A strategy including adequate prehospital management, early revascularization, and specific care in dedicated intensive care units should be strongly considered in resuscitated patients after cardiac arrest complicating acute myocardial infarction."

Staphylococcal enterotoxin B is one of many bacterial proteins that can trigger lethal shock in humans by upping the levels of certain T-cells associated with inflammatory responses. Amer Beg et al explore the possibility of using NF-kB to prevent such reactions. This one's been around for a while but I like it.
