Abstract
Influenza A virus is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Severe influenza is recognized as a clinical syndrome, characterized by hyperinduction of proinflammatory cytokine production, otherwise known as hypercytokinemia or a 'cytokine storm'. Research focused on therapeutics to modulate influenza virus-induced inflammation is currently underway. In this review, we discuss the limitations of current antiviral drug treatment strategies, describe the influenza viral and host pathogenicity determinants, and present the evidence supporting the use of immunomodulatory therapy to target the host inflammatory response as a means to improve clinical outcome in severe influenza. We then review the experimental data on investigational immunomodulatory agents targeting the host inflammatory response in severe influenza, including anti-TNF therapy, statins, glucocorticoids, cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors, macrolides, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor agonists, AMP-activated protein kinase agonists and high mobility group box 1 antagonists. We then conclude with a rationale for the use of mesenchymal stromal (stem) cells and angiopoietin-1 therapy against deleterious influenza-induced host responses that mediate end-organ injury and dysfunction.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
