Abstract Introduction The last decade has seen many changes in graduate medical education training the USA, most notably implementation of duty hour standards for residents by Accreditation Council Graduate Medical Education. As educators are left to balance more limited time available between patient care and resident education, new methods augment traditional needed. Objectives To assess acceptance use a novel gamification-based knowledge software among internal medicine determine...
We report the use of fecal microbiota transplantation in a single heart-kidney transplant recipient with recurrent Clostridium difficile, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) dominance, and VRE infections. Fecal resulted reconstruction diverse (1) reduced relative abundance C difficile (2) positive clinical outcome.
Fecal microbiota transplantation has been shown to be an effective treatment for patients with recurrent C. difficile colitis. Although fecal helps re-establish a normal gut function in patients, the extent of repopulation recipient microbial community varies. To further understand this variation, it is important determine fate donor microbes following transplantation. We have developed new method that utilizes unique single nucleotide variants accurately identify paired samples from same...
A 9-point risk assessment identified persons with a history of injection drug use who were safe for discharge. "Low-risk" patients discharged outpatient antibiotics; others continued inpatient treatment. Use the reduced mean length stay by 20 days and total direct cost 33%, creating capacity an additional 333 patients.
Candidemia has a high attributable mortality. The objective of this study was to determine the impact infectious disease consultation on mortality and clinical outcomes in candidemia. Infectious associated with better adherence guidelines improved survival, even patients Acute Physiology Chronic Health Evaluation II scores.
Background: The world changed in December 2019 due to respiratory tract infection cases, initially of unknown etiology, later known as COVID-19. Objective: This study aimed determine the factors and comorbidities associated with mortality from COVID-19 Mexico. Methods: It was a cross-sectional observational prospective patients treated at an IMSS (Mexican Institute Social Security) Hospital Morelos confirmed diagnosis Logistic regression models survival analyses were developed identify risk....
ObjectivesTo determine trends in ciprofloxacin resistance and co-resistance to other antibiotic classes blood isolates of Escherichia coli, investigate if there is an ecological relationship the community use fluoroquinolones antibiotics.
Enterococcus species frequently cause health care-associated bacteremia, with high attributable mortality. The benefit of consultation infectious disease (ID) specialists has been previously illustrated Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. Whether ID (IDC) improves mortality in enterococcal bacteremia is unknown.This a retrospective cohort single-center study from January 1, 2015, to June 30, 2016, that included all patients >18 years age admitted first episode Patients were excluded if death...
We present a case of refractory methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus that was successfully treated with combination antibiotics, systemic phage and intranasal therapy.
Introduction: We present a novel multistep technique to estimate the actual burden of road traffic mortality in Mexico during time period 1999 2009 by comparing 3 approaches for redistribution nonspecific (“garbage”) International Classification Diseases (ICD)-coded deaths. Methods: Road (RT) data were extracted using secondary analysis Mexican databases 2009. In an attempt correct underestimation due inappropriately coded deaths, those deaths assigned codes redistributed utilizing different...
The scope of this paper is to characterize the main barriers faced by Colombian population when they attempt gain access health services. It an observational, descriptive and exploratory study using both quantitative qualitative techniques. was based on records Petitions, Complaints, Claims Suggestions sent National Department Health Colombia between January 2102 June 2013. In-depth interviews were conducted with users services, as well officials Promoting Companies Outlets for Right Bogotá....
Chagas disease is the leading cause of nonischemic cardiomyopathy in Latin America. Timely access to diagnosis and trypanocidal treatment preventive tools for millions infected people continues be a challenge. The purpose this study was identify potential barriers Colombia from perspective healthcare providers. Using simultaneous mixed-methods design, we analyzed trends screening assessed national access. main at level included limited governmental public health infrastructure physician...
OBJETIVO. Analizar los motivos de uso y no puentes peatonales (PP). MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS. Se empleó un diseño transversal, a partir una muestra peatones usuarios PP; se utilizó regresión logística para identificar factores que influyen en el PP. RESULTADOS. La prevalencia fue 50.5% 813 entrevistados; la principal razón usar PP "seguridad", del "flojera". Hubo diferencias significativas al analizar las edades 19 36 años, ajustando por escolaridad características físicas PP, con RMa. 1.7 (IC95%...
Objective To analyze the behavior temporal of road-traffic injuries (RTI) in Valledupar, Colombia from January 2008 to December 2012. Methodology An observational study was conducted based on records Colombian National Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences Institute regional office Valledupar. Different variables were analyzed, such as injured person's sex, age, education level, type road user; timeframe, place circumstances crashes vehicles associated with occurrence. Furthermore, a time...
Introducción: Anualmente cerca de 1.25 millones personas mueren y otros 50 resultan lesionados por el tránsito en mundo.Para cambiar esta tendencia reducir 50% las lesiones muertes tránsito, la Organizaciòn Mundial Salud Naciones Unidas (2011) promovieron los países miembros adopción del Plan mundial para década acción seguridad vial 2011-2020.Objetivo: Este estudio describe resultados preliminares primeros años plan Colombia.Metodología: Estudio descriptivo sobre comportamiento Lesiones...
Abstract Despite their importance as freshwater reservoirs for downstream river systems, few glaciers in central Chile have been comprehensively surveyed. This study presents ground-penetrating radar (GPR) and field-based observations characterizing the englacial basal conditions of Glaciar Olivares Alfa (33°11 0 S, 70°13 W), Chilean Andes. Using a 50 MHz mounted onto helicopter platform, data were collected covering large portions glacier accumulation ablation zones. The revealed boundaries...
Fecal microbiota transplants (FMT) are an effective treatment for patients with gut microbe dysbiosis suffering from recurrent C. difficile infections. To further understand how FMT reconstitutes the patient's commensal microbiota, we have analyzed colonization potential of donor, recipient and post transplant fecal samples using transplantation in gnotobiotic mice. A total nine three human donors, recipient's pre were transplanted into Microbiome analysis donor revealed presence a high...
