Filter by:Implant infections are among the most dramatic complications in orthopaedic surgery with heavy impact on life quality and health system. Their diagnosis is still challenging since, till now, none othe proposed markers has shown a sensitivity and a specificity of100%. Therefore, efforts in identification of new markers of infections are required. This study aims to evaluate the applicability of Interleukin (IL)-6, Triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells (TREM-1), CC chemokine ligand 2 (CCL2), matrix metalloproteinases (MMP-9), osteopontin (OPN), IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL1-RA), IL-6 receptor beta (GP130), C5a, receptor for advanced glycation end products (sRAGE), urokinases and presepsin as serum markers of prosthetic joint infection. At this purpose, serum from 65 patients with infected implant and from 65 with aseptic failure of their prosthesis will be collected before surgery and after 2 and 7 days from revision.
The malignant external otitis is a rare disease which arises more frequently at the elderly and the diabetics patients. To our knowledge, there are few data and it is not wellc known byclinicians. Nevertheless it exposes to neurological complications potentially serious and crippling.
The aim of this study is to identify risk factors and prevalence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) and extensively drug-resistant (XDR) bacteria colonization among patients at high risk of STIs
Extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (EPE), vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE) and Clostridium difficile have become a major threat to hospitalised patients worldwide. We hypothesize that receiving inappropriate antibacterial treatment places patients at high risk of intestinal domination and subsequent infection by these bacteria. Further analyses will address cost-effectiveness of specific interventions, behavioural analyses of the decision process leading to inappropriate antibacterial treatment, and the rate of undetected colonization with EPE/VRE/C. difficile on admission.
This study is designed to assess the safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics (PK) and pharmacodynamics (PD) of single and multiple ascending doses in healthy volunteers (HV) and participants diagnosed with chronic hepatitis B (CHB).
Continuous surveillance in 2003-2017 allowed to detect HAIs in patients staying in a 42-bed neurosurgery unit with 6 intensive neurosurgical supervision beds. 10,332 surgical patients were qualified for the study. The study was carried out in the framework of a national surveillance of HAI programme following methodology recommended by Healthcare-Associated Infections Surveillance Network (HAI-Net), European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control. Intervention in this before-after study (2003-2017) comprised standardised surveillance of HAI with regular analysis and feedback.
The purpose of the study is to investigate additional clinical uses for the polymer, which is a FDA approved, 510k, medical device, but has not been approved for use on patients with pin track sites as a way to lower the infection rate and is investigational for this purpose. The approved uses include wound care and post-operative care. About 13 subjects will take part in this study.
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.
Silver nanoparticles are one of most nanoparticles use nowadays in the research area because it has specific physical and chemical properties, in medical fields silver nanoparticles can involve in diagnostic and treatment processes. Silver nanoparticles have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiangiogenic, antioxidant, cosmetics, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, the drug carrier, imaging, water treatment, and biosensing effects. Silver nanoparticles prepared with reducing agent tri-sodium citrate then incorporated in a topical cream to obtain a significant inhibition of the bacterial strains, inhibition of growth of bacterial strains in the face or other parts in the bodies.
S. aureus and coagulase-negative staphylococci are the most frequent bacteria responsible for PJI (prosthetic joint infection). The aim of this study is to describe the use of rifampicin.
