Antibiotic prophylaxis recommendations for the prevention of infective endocarditis are based in part on studies bacteremia from dental procedures, but toothbrushing may pose a greater threat. The purpose this study was to compare incidence, duration, nature, and magnitude endocarditis-related single-tooth extraction determine impact amoxicillin extraction.In double-blind, placebo-controlled study, 290 subjects were randomized (1) toothbrushing, (2) with prophylaxis, or (3) identical...
Abstract Objective To assess the safety and potential efficacy of etanercept in treatment Sjögren's syndrome (SS). Methods This pilot study was a 12‐week randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled trial etanercept, with 14 subjects each group. Patients received 25 mg or placebo (vehicle) by twice‐weekly subcutaneous injection. met American‐European Consensus Group criteria for SS. The primary outcome required at least 20% improvement from baseline values 2 following 3 domains: subjective...
Trauma intensive care unit (TICU) patients requiring mechanical respiratory support frequently develop ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Oral and oropharyngeal bacteria are believed to be responsible for many cases of VAP, but definitive evidence this relationship is lacking. Earlier studies used conventional culture-based methods identification bacterial pathogens, these insufficient, as some may uncultivable or difficult grow. The purpose study was use a culture-independent molecular...
Objective More than 80% of autoimmune disease predominantly affects females, but the mechanism for this female bias is poorly understood. We suspected that an X chromosome dose effect accounts this, and we undertook study to test our hypothesis trisomy (47,XXX; occurring in ∼1 1,000 live births) would be increased patients with female‐predominant diseases (systemic lupus erythematosus [SLE], primary Sjögren's syndrome [SS], biliary cirrhosis, rheumatoid arthritis [RA]) compared without...
