Morbidity and mortality for critically ill patients with infections remains a global healthcare problem. We aimed to determine whether β-lactam antibiotic dosing in achieves concentrations associated maximal activity affect patient outcome.This was prospective, multinational pharmacokinetic point-prevalence study including 8 antibiotics. Two blood samples were taken from each during single interval. The primary pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic targets free above the minimum inhibitory...
Intensive care unit (ICU) patients are particularly susceptible to developing pressure injuries. Epidemiologic data is however unavailable. We aimed provide an international picture of the extent injuries and factors associated with ICU-acquired in adult ICU patients. International 1-day point-prevalence study; follow-up for outcome assessment until hospital discharge (maximum 12 weeks). Factors injury mortality were assessed by generalised linear mixed-effects regression analysis. Data from...

Abstract Although deregulation of EPHB signaling has been shown to be an important step in colorectal tumorigenesis, the role EPHB6 this process not investigated. We found here that manipulation levels colon cancer cell lines no effect on their motility and growth a solid substrate, soft agar or xenograft mouse model. then used EphB6 knockout model show inactivation does efficiently initiate tumorigenesis intestinal tract. In addition, when tumors are initiated genetically pharmacologically...
