Filter by:This study aims to estimate the prevalence of infected medical students with COVID-19 in the University of Jordan and to compare number of cases between students in clinical and basic years. In addition, this can provide insight into the awareness of infection control practices among students. Furthermore, to examine if hospital rotations increased risk of infection between clinical year medical students.
This project will observe and follow up the changes of pulmonary function and CT in patients with smoking combined with pulmonary tuberculosis, and measure the ratio of Th1 cells, Th17 cells, macrophages and neutrophils and the secretion of factors such as TNF-α, IFN-γ and IL-17 in pulmonary blood and alveolar lavage fluid.
Gut microbiome manipulation to alter the gut-lung axis may potentially protect humans against respiratory infections. However, clinical trials of synbiotics, one of the microbiota-targeted intervention, in this regard is few. Therefore, this study aims to examine the effect of synbiotics on the incidence and severity of upper respiratory tract infection, gut microbiota composition and function, as well as biomarkers of immune function.
The study aims to describe the current use of dalbavancin among diabetic patients with infections in a real-world clinical setting in Italy and Spain.
Peritoneal dialysis-related infection is a complication that leads to peritoneal dialysis catheter removal or patient death. The present study aimed to investigate peritoneal dialysis-related infection rates, causative pathogens, appropriation of antibiotic use, treatment outcomes and trend in antimicrobial resistance of causative pathogens.
This study was conducted to analyze the effect of joint infection on the bone tunnel, graft and articular cartilage following arthroscopic single-bundle anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction with autologous hamstring, to summarize the features of MR findings after joint infection, and to correlate these findings with their possible factors.
Hospital-acquired bloodstream infection (BSI) is serious care problem worldwide associated with significant morbidity and mortality. However, only few nationwide studies have focused on the incidence of BSI, and its results were often inconsistent. The objective of this study was to analyze bloodstream infections in patients hospitalized in the intensive care unit of the tertiary, university hospital. Special attention was put on the etiology of the infections, the antimicrobial susceptibility/resistance of the isolated pathogens, as well as the incidence of central vein catheters infections in the analyzed population. Data were collected in the intensive care unit of the Military Institute of Medicine, Warsaw, Poland, between January, 1, 2007 and December, 31, 2019.
To estimate the pulmonary response microvascular thrombosis in critical patients due to SARS-Cov-2., at the Hospital General de México "Dr. Eduardo Liceaga", a 15 patients compassionate treatment study was authorized and approved by the ethics and research committee DI-222-2020. Because of the severity of the illness the legal representative sign informed consent in all the patients for performing in-situ thrombolysis with alteplase selectively by catheter in each main pulmonary artery, under fluoroscopic guidance and acquiring images with the iFlow software to assess immediate and post-procedure response.
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy of the modified regimen short duration intrapleural 16mg alteplase (Actilyse, Boehringer Ingelheim) with 5mg DNase (Pulmozyme Hoffmann-La Roche Ltd) in patients with pleural infection.
There is no specific recommendation about antimicrobial treatment length for documented infections in chemotherapy induced febrile neutropenia. The aim of this study was to compare long versus short antibiotic course for bloodstream infection treatment in acute myeloid leukemia patients during febrile neutropenia. This monocentric retrospective comparative study included all consecutive bloodstream infection episodes among acute myeloid leukemia patients with febrile neutropenia for 3 years (2017-2019). Episodes were classified regarding the length of antibiotic treatment, considered as short course if the treatment lasted ≤7 days, except for nonfermenting bacteria and Staphylococcus aureus or lugdunensis for which the threshold was ≤10 days and ≤14 days, respectively. The primary outcome was the number of bloodstream infection relapses in both groups within 30 days of antibiotic discontinuation.
