Filter by:The gender, age, ICU diagnosis, basic diseases, antibiotic treatment plan, physiological indicators, duration of hospital stay, length of stay in ICU, hospitalization cost, prognosis and other discharge information of patients receiving tigecycline or polymyxin B admitted to the ICU of four provincial-level Grade A hospitals in Changsha, Hunan Province ,China from 2017 to 2021 were included. To analyze the therapeutic effect of tigecycline-based or polymyxin B-based antibiotic regimens and their effect on the prognosis of patients, and to conduct subgroup analysis.
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major public health problem worldwide, with a significant increase in the number of patients treated with dialysis and renal transplantation. Hemodialysis (HD) is the most widely used dialysis therapy in the world, and adequate vascular access is required. The central venous catheter (CVC), although not considered the ideal vascular access, is still widely used. Its use has a strong relation with access-related infection, whether it is an exit orifice (IES), a tunnel and the most severe, the bloodstream (BSI). Consequently CVC contributes to patients' morbidity and mortality in HD, as well as to the high cost of hemodialysis treatment. To compare the use of 0.1% topical gentamicin with the use of placebo in the exit site (ES) of tunneled catheters in patients in chronic HD regarding the reduction in IES and BSI rates and to identify the induction of bacterial resistance to gentamicin.
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.
Qualified sputum samples from bronchiectasis patients were collected regularly every month for three consecutive years to analyze the microbiome changes of lower respiratory tract of bronchiectasis patients by metagenomic sequencing. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was isolated and the whole genome was sequenced to analyze the adaptive evolution，including virulence, quorum sensing and drug resistance under host pressure. The aim of the study is to clarify the rule of microflora colonization distribution and adaptive evolution in the lower respiratory tract of patients with bronchiectasis, to predict the acute attack and prognosis of patients with microbiome changes, and to find more new prevention and treatment methods by adjusting the microbiome of the lower respiratory tract.
During the study, the resuscitation room, general wards and ICU were installed fixed or mobile acquisition devices in the resuscitation room, the emergency department of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, and the collection platform was set up. Patients with acute diseases (infection, diabetes complications, etc.) caused by metabolic syndrome (obesity, diabetes, etc.) were selected after informed consent. All medical intervention behaviors, relevant medical records and medical outcome records within the collection scope of the device platform were collected prospectively . And regular follow-up, guidance of patients with metabolic syndrome control, while collecting all the lifestyle characteristics of patients, some patients with metabolic cabin research, and observe the relevant medical outcomes. After that, all the collected data were coded, and the influence of all lifestyle and medical behavior interventions on patients' medical outcomes was studied by artificial intelligence method.
This study will provide: (1) new insights in the prevalence of Aspergillus infection in children and adolescents with CF aged 8-17 yrs; (2) an in silico modelled dose of posaconazole for children and adolescents with CF and Aspergillus infection aged 8-17 yrs; (3) an intensive sampling PK study to define the optimal dose in a limited number of children and adolescents with CF and Aspergillus infection aged 8-17 yrs; (4) a prospective clinical validation to reduce the residual variability and to allow investigation into PK-PD; and (5) an efficacy evaluation of this dosing regimen to treat Aspergillus infection in children and adolescents with CF to inform future primary efficacy trials.
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.
The negative impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on the physical activity behavior of overall adults has been reported. But much less is known in older adults. Alterations in physical activity among Covid-19 survivors have not been investigated so far. The present study aimed to evaluate the physical activity status of older adults in terms of a history of Covid-19 infection.
