following resolution2 which was referred
 to the ,committee on the ,judiciary    
,,resolution  ,designating the month of 
,september #bjad as 8,national ,sepsis  
,awareness ,month04  ,whereas sepsis is 
a medical condition resulting from an   
immune system response to an infection2 
,whereas the overwhelming flood of      
immune chemicals released into the blood
 to fight an infection can impair blood 
flow1 injuring organs2 ,whereas sepsis  
is a serious community-acquired         
infection and a leading cause of death  
in the ,united ,states2 ,whereas in     
severe cases of sepsis1 a patient can   
experience a drop in blood pressure1 a  
weakened heart1 and septic shock1       
causing potentially fatal multiple organ
 failure2 ,whereas approximately        
#a1jjj1jjj individuals in the ,united   
,states are infected with sepsis each   

year2 ,whereas sepsis has killed over   
#d1jjj1jjj individuals in the ,united   
,states between #bjjd and #bjad2        
,whereas the ,centers for ,disease      
,control and ,prevention estimates that 
approximately #ej percent of individuals
 infected with sepsis die1 accounting   
for more deaths in the ,united ,states  
than prostate cancer1 breast cancer1 and
 ,,aids combined2 ,whereas according to 
the ,agency for ,healthcare ,research   
and ,quality1 sepsis is the most        
expensive cause of hospitalization in   
the ,united ,states1 with an annual cost
 of #bd1jjj1jjj1jjj2 ,whereas the number
 of sepsis deaths is on the rise in the 
,united ,states2 ,whereas an article in 
the ,journal of the ,american ,medical  
,association reports that more than #hj 
percent of individuals who die from     
sepsis arrive at the hospital with      
sepsis2 ,whereas early recognition1     
diagnosis1 and treatment can prevent    
sepsis fatalities2 and ,whereas         
,september #bjad is an appropriate month

 to designate as 8,national ,sepsis     
,awareness ,month0 to raise awareness of
 sepsis and encourage educating         
patients1 families1 health care         
professionals1 and government agencies  
on the importance of early detection as 
the key for patients to survive sepsis3 
,now1 therefore1 be it  ,that the       
,senate designates the month of         
,september #bjad as ,national ,sepsis   
,awareness ,month4
