Understanding the transition to acute illness: the promise of perioperative genomics.

Abstract excerpt

Over the last decades, tremendous advances have been made in understanding the genomic basis of a large number of chronic human diseases. Such advances were made possible by studying large numbers of patients over relatively long periods of time. It is increasingly recognized that acute robust stress stimulates pathways activated in chronic disease, facilitating mechanistic studies in much shorter time frames. A...
