Note the participants/presenters, they are the GLOBAL leaders in nephrology and include the key member of our DSMB for the Euphrates Trial.  Nephrologists have ALWAYS been interested in and close to our Toraymyxin ( PMX ) development.  Septic shock is a "horrible event" for human organs regardless of the outcome.  A decrease in blood pressure leads to a lack of oxygen in the blood, dying cells, endotoxin generation ( endotoxemia ) and an initial attack on our kidneys, followed by a cascade of damage to other organs,  The "organ cross-talk" is very real and critical to life and death and perhaps more importantly "costs to our health care system"

Here is the prgram set for 5:30pm Italia time or 11:30am EDT time ( Spectral or Western Mall daylight time, take your pick )
