Conditioning regimens for allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) are immunosuppressive and increase the risk reactivation of infection with double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses, which contribute to morbidity mortality after allo-HCT. This retrospective observational study evaluated association dsDNA viral infections clinical outcomes, health resource utilization (HRU), care reimbursement Patients who underwent allo-HCT between 2012 2017 were identified from a US open-source...
Hemorrhagic cystitis (HC) caused by viral infections such as BK virus, cytomegalovirus, and/or adenovirus after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) causes morbidity and mortality, affects quality of life, poses a substantial burden to the health care system. At present, HC management is purely supportive, there are no approved or recommended antivirals for virus-associated HC. The objective this retrospective observational study was compare economic burden, resource...
Nocardia species are aerobic, gram-positive, filamentous, partially acid-fast actinomycetes which found worldwide in soil and decaying organic plant matter. When they infect human beings, generally enter through the respiratory tract then disseminate systemically. Rarely has a primary infection occurred as result of direct inoculation. Isolation from clinical specimens identification difficult. But, with introduction new genetic technologies, reports novel have increased. We describe case...
Cutaneous and systemic plasmacytosis (CSP) is a rare disorder of unknown etiology characterized by cutaneous polyclonal plasma cell infiltrates associated with various extracutaneous involvement hypergammaglobulinemia. Here, we report on 54-year-old male patient chronic renal insufficiency who presented disseminated reddish-brown macules plaques the face trunk. In our evaluation, he was found to have lymphadenopathy, hypergammaglobulinemia; benign infiltration involving skin, bone marrow,...
Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) recipients are at increased risk for respiratory viral infections (RVIs), which invoke substantial morbidity and mortality. Limited effective antiviral options drug resistance often hamper successful RVI treatment, creating additional burden patients the health care system.Using an open-source claims database, we examined differences in clinical outcomes, resource utilization, total reimbursements during 1-year period following allo-HCT...
Purpose: Fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) is useful for the diagnosis of allergic rhinitis (AR) as well bronchial asthma (BA). However, FeNO may differ according to race, age, and other determinants. There have been few studies about in Korean children with AR. The aims this study were evaluate value AR compare FeNO, determinants levels between AR, BA, combined BA. Methods: This included 647 aged 5 17. classified into groups after performing skin test, measurement, pulmonary function...
We report on a case of clear cell acanthoma that developed above preexisting melanocytic nevus. Although nevi can be complicated by the presence several different types epithelial or appendageal tumors, there have been no reported combined with Interestingly, in this had polypoid configuration, an unusual finding.
Objective: There have been few reliable biomarkers to evaluate allergic rhinitis (AR) severity in children.This study aimed investigate a biomarker for assessing AR children. Methods:A total of 107 children with (80) and non-allergic (NAR, 27) were included this study.The fraction exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) was measured duration graded patients AR.We assessed the association between FeNO Allergic Rhinitis its Impact on Asthma (ARIA) classes.Results: levels NAR groups 34.7 ± 22.1 17.0 13.1...
(R,R′)-4′-Methoxy-1-naphthylfenoterol (MNF) promotes growth inhibition and apoptosis of human HepG2 hepatocarcinoma cells via cannabinoid receptor (CBR) activation. The synthetic CB1R inverse agonist, AM251, has been shown to block the anti-mitogenic effect MNF in these cells; however, AM251 is also an agonist recently deorphanized, lipid-sensing receptor, GPR55, whose upregulation contributes carcinogenesis. Here, we investigated role GPR55 signaling PANC-1 cancer cell lines culture by...
The present study compared the differential functions of two groups adjuvants, Montanide incomplete Seppic adjuvant (ISA) series and Quil A, cholesterol, dimethyl dioctadecyl ammonium bromide, Carbopol (QCDC) formulations, in chicken by analyzing published microarray data associated with each type vaccine adjuvants. In biological function analysis for differentially expressed genes altered different groups, ISA QCDC formulations showed effects when chickens were immunized a recombinant...
Background: Essential hyperhidrosis is caused by an unexplained over acttvtty of the high thoracic sympathetic nervous system. Since development video endoscopic surgery, use thoracoscopic sympathectomy has gradually increased. However, reports on major anesthetic problems related to bilateral syma thectomy and one lung ventilation (reventilation a collapsed lung), which are commonly used for this operation few. The aim study was evaluate changes in cardiovascular function arterial...
Purpureocillium is a genus of saprophytic fungi that commonly found in soil or rotting material. Although rarely pathogen humans, it can cause serious infections immunocompromized patients. An 85-year-old woman presented with 2-week history pruritic erythematous plaques yellowish crusts on her right forearm and dorsal hand. Histopathological analysis identified fungal hyphae spores the dermis, lilacinum was through tissue culture, polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing. The skin lesion...
Abstract Background Reactivation or infection with multiple double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) viruses after allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplant (allo-HCT) has been associated increased morbidity in single center studies. We used a large US claims database to compare health care reimbursements and resource utilization (HRU) between allo-HCT patients no versus infections due CMV, BKV, EBV, JCV, AdV, HHV-6. Methods the Decision Resources Group Real World Evidence Data Repository identify...
Abstract Background Respiratory viruses (RV), including respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), influenza, parainfluenza (PIV), and human metapneumovirus (HMPV), frequently lead to serious complications such as lower tract infections death in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) recipients. We used a large US claims database compare the total reimbursement (TR), health resource utilization (HRU) clinical outcomes between HCT patients with without RV (RVI). Methods Decision...
Background: Sevoflurane and Desflurane are new inhalation anesthetics with a low blood/gas solubility which should allow fast induction emergence from anesthesia. This study was designed to compare the recovery characteristics of gynecologic surgical patients receiving sevoflurane, desflurane or isoflurane nitrous oxide for maintenance general Methods: After standardized anesthesia fentanyl, propofol, succinylcholine tracheal intubation, undergoing an elective surgery lasting 1-2 hr randomly...
