OBJECTIVE An effective treatment of patients in a minimally conscious state (MCS) or vegetative (VS) caused by hypoxic encephalopathy traumatic brain injury (TBI) is not yet available. Deep stimulation (DBS) the thalamic reticular nuclei has been attempted as therapeutic procedure mainly with TBI. The purpose this study was to investigate use DBS for VS MCS. METHODS Fourteen 49 MCS qualified inclusion and underwent DBS. Of these 14 patients, 4 were 10 VS. etiology TBI cases due cardiac...
Abstract Background Reliable high-throughput microbial pathogen identification in human urine samples is crucial for patients with cystitis symptoms. Currently employed methods are time-consuming and could lead to unnecessary or inadequate antibiotic treatment. Purpose of this study was assess the potential mass spectrometry uropathogen from a native sample. Methods In total, 16 having more than 10 5 CFU/mL were collected clinical outpatients. These analysed using standard culture methods,...
As a cost-saving measure, the Drug and Therapeutics Committee (DTC) removed ceftriaxone from list of restricted antibiotics in May, 2008, which permitted its use as first-line antibiotic. To evaluate impact this change, occurrence extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-positive bacterial strains antibiotic consumption were monitored for 2 years before after intervention. In post-intervention period, utilization increased, while total did not change significantly. The all decreased (p <0.05)...
Here, we report a retrospective study conducted to elucidate emergence, epidemiology, and molecular mechanisms of resistance underlying the early spread OXA-48 carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae in Croatia. Retrospective screening for producers was performed on collection 296 nonrepetitive, carbapenem-nonsusceptible enterobacterial isolates collected from January 2011 December 2012 40 participating centers Antimicrobial susceptibility profiles production carbapenemases were assessed...
A decade ago, when the Human Microbiome Project was starting, urinary tract (UT) not included because bladder and urine were considered to be sterile. Today, we are presented with evidence that healthy UT possesses native microbiota any major event disrupting its "equilibrium" can impact host also. This dysbiosis often leads cystitis symptoms, which is most frequent lower complaint, especially among women. Cystitis one of common causes antimicrobial drugs prescriptions in primary secondary...
Case report.The nontraumatic cranial epidural hematoma is an extremely rare clinical entity and it commonly occurs in the presence of infectious diseases as complication sinusitis, coagulopathy, vascular malformation dura, hemorrhagic tumor, patients with sickle cell disease, systemic lupus erythematosus, after open heart surgery, on hemodialysis.We reported a case spontaneous that occurred herniated disc surgery. There was no history preceding head trauma patient medical unremarkable. To...
Summary. Bacterial contamination of blood products causes significant patient morbidity and mortality. Contaminated platelet transfusion is a frequent cause bacteraemia sepsis because the storage conditions platelets. A fatal case Morganella morganii associated with described, along procedures traced back to isolation M. from donor's stool. Molecular typing was performed, same strain found in post‐mortem organ cultures recipient bag The route unknown. could be due either insufficient...
Background Infections are common in patients with liver cirrhosis and increase mortality.

Healthcare-associated infections have serious implications for both patients and hospitals. Environmental surface contamination is the key to transmission of nosocomial pathogens. Routine manual cleaning disinfection eliminates visible soil reduces environmental bioburden risk transmission, but may not address some contamination. Automated area decontamination technologies achieve more consistent pervasive than methods, it challenging demonstrate their efficacy within a randomized trial...
