Filter by:The purpose of this study is to identify if there is a relationship between multiple sclerosis disease-modifying therapy exposure, immunodeficiencies, and infection risk in subjects living with MS.
Ceramo metallic restoration has proved high success rate over past years as considered to be the gold standard while Monolithic zirconia as fixed dental prostheses have gained attention because of their good fracture strength, low wear of the enamel antagonist and pleasant color .Material composition will affect gingival health and biofilm formation which initiate caries and periodontal diseases.
Septicaemia is a potential complication of nasogastric (NG) tube feeding contamination (Leanne, 2014; Anderton, 2000) and a major cause of morbidity and mortality in residential care home for elders ( RCHEs) (Leanne, 2014). Although health workers (HWs) and personal care workers (PCWs) are responsible for NG tube feeding and direct care to the residents who are fed by NG tube feeding under supervision of registered nurses (RNs) and enrolled nurses (ENs) in RCHEs, HWs and PCWs unfortunately receive limited training regarding infection control (Ho et al., 2012; NICE, 2012; Duckro et al., 2009; Bankhead et al., 2009). A multimodal ICP could reduce the incidence of NG tube feeding contamination by improving the knowledge and skills of RCHE staff members regarding NG tube feeding (Ho et al., 2012). However, because the intervention described by Ho et al. (2012) was not administered in a randomised manner, potential confounders that could affect the outcomes of interest were not adjusted. To overcome that limitation, the proposed work will establish a well-designed multimodal ICP and explore the effectiveness of this intervention in terms of enhancing the knowledge and skills regarding NG tube feeding of RCHE staff members and consequently reducing NG tube feeding contamination after adjusting for potentially important baseline factors. The proposed research objectives are as follows: 1. To explore the effectiveness of a multimodal ICP for reducing bacterial contamination, as measured by the total bacterial counts on NG tube hubs and fingertips on both hands of RCHEs staff, as well as in enteral milk; and 2. To investigate the effectiveness of a multimodal ICP for improving the knowledge and skills of RCHEs staff members regarding infection control measures during NG tube feeding in RCHEs setting.
The pilot study "ARIIBO" was conducted to analyze changes in immune parameters reported in obese subjects, which had never been the subject of a global study outside of an infectious context, and studied in period septic only sporadically. This study was intended to contribute to a better understanding of the probably adverse impact of obesity on the immune response to bacterial infections, and to describe a specific immunological profile of an infectious excess risk in obese subjects. In terms of infection, obesity is a risk factor due to "mechanical" and pharmacodynamic variations, but also to the immune system. One of the best studied immunological parameters in obese patients, leptin resistance, is associated with a decrease in innate and adaptive immunity through a modification of the lymphocyte and cytokine profile. It is important to compare the data collected in obese patients infected (first study called "ARIIBO"), with those of non-obese subjects presenting the same type of infection, which will be included in the study "ARIIBACT"
Characterization of the single dose pharmacokinetics of AV-006 in healthy male and female subjects. Description of safety and tolerability of AV-006 in healthy subjects
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is a serious disease . Exacerbations of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is an acute worsening condition of Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, which always accompanied by clinical symptoms such as, shortness of breath and increased production of sputum. Respiratory infection (bacteria or viruses or mixed) is thought to be the main cause in most exacerbations.
The main objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of a positive 16S rDNA PCR in various sites on patient's management. The secondary objectives of the protocol are: - to evaluate bacterial identification performance - to evaluate the effect of previous antibiotic therapy - to analyze the management of discordant results between 16S PCR and culture identification
Neurosurgery (NS) is essential for the treatment of various diseases such as malignant tumors, vascular conditions, spinal stenosis or trauma. However, NS can be complicated by the onset of infections, directly related to surgery or to hospitalization. Little is known regarding the epidemiology, the optimal treatment regimens and the outcome of infections following NS (I-NS). The study aims at investigating the clinical and microbiological characteristics as well as the outcomes of I-NS occurring at a single Institution (IRCCS Neuromed, Pozzilli, Italy) during the period 2016-2018. Patients with at least 1 infective episode requiring antimicrobial therapy are included in this retrospective observational study.
the investigators want to identify the microbial profile, antibiotic resistant bacteria in hepatic patients with infections in Liver ICU, and explore risk factors and outcomes in those patients with antibiotic resistant bacteria.
This study evaluates the impact of rank of Beta lactam antibiotics on emergence of mutlidrug resistant bacteria colonization in intensive care It's retrospective case controle study. Cases are colonized patient by multidrug resistant bacteria hospitalized in intensive care during the fist hospitalization in intensive care. Temoin are patients with the same characteristics than case but no colonized by multidrug resistant bacteria.
