Abstract Background: The Victorian Infection Control Surveillance Project (VICSP) is a multicenter collaborative surveillance project established by infection control practitioners. Five public hospitals contributed data for patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Objective: To determine the aggregate and comparative interhospital surgical-site (SSI) rates CABG surgery risk factors SSI in this patient group. Method: Each institution used standardized definitions of...
Lubricin/proteoglycan-4 (PRG-4) is a mucinous glycoprotein that lubricates cartilage and maintains normal tissue function cell homeostasis. Altered O-glycoproteforms of lubricin have been found in osteoarthritis (OA) synovial fluid (SF), which could ostensibly be used to diagnose early onset OA. However, SF invasive obtain generally would not surveyed from otherwise healthy individuals. Thus, plasma-based OA screening tool focused on glycosylation less method aid early-stage diagnosis. In...
The complex development of type 2 diabetes (T2D) creates challenges for studying the progression and treatment disease in animal models. A newly developed rat model diabetes, Zucker Diabetic Sprague Dawley (ZDSD) rat, closely parallels T2D humans. Here, we examine associated changes gut microbiota male ZDSD rats test whether can be used to efficacy potential therapeutics such as prebiotics, specifically oligofructose, that target microbiota. Bodyweight, adiposity, fed/fasting blood glucose...
