To obtain a score for deciding early antifungal treatment when candidal infection is suspected in nonneutropenic critically ill patients.Analysis of data collected from the database EPCAN project, an ongoing prospective, cohort, observational, multicenter surveillance study fungal and colonization intensive care unit (ICU) patients.Seventy-three medical-surgical ICUs 70 teaching hospitals Spain.A total 1,699 ICU patients aged 18 yrs older admitted at least 7 days between May 1998 January...
Objective: To assess the usefulness of "Candida score" (CS) for discriminating between Candida species colonization and invasive candidiasis (IC) in non-neutropenic critically ill patients. A rate IC <5% patients with CS <3 was primary end point. Design: Prospective, cohort, observational study. Setting: Thirty-six medical-surgical intensive care units Spain, Argentina, France. Patients: total 1,107 adult unit admitted at least 7 days April 2006 June 2007. Measurements Main Results: Clinical...
To assess the performance of Candida albicans germ tube antibody (CAGTA), (1 → 3)-ß-D-glucan (BDG), mannan antigen (mannan-Ag), anti-mannan antibodies (mannan-Ab), and DNA for diagnosing invasive candidiasis (IC) in ICU patients with severe abdominal conditions (SAC). A prospective study 233 non-neutropenic SAC on admission expected stay ≥ 7 days. CAGTA (cutoff positivity 1/160), BDG (≥80, 100 200 pg/mL), mannan-Ag (≥60 mannan-Ab (≥10 UA/mL) were measured twice a week, only treated systemic...
OBJECTIVE—To assess the cardiovascular risk profile, degree of insulin resistance, and β-cell secretion in a cohort subjects with different categories impaired glucose regulation (IGR): fasting (IFG), tolerance (IGT), combined IFG/IGT. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS—We studied 902 nondiabetic between 30 80 years age, recruited from cross-sectional population-based study Telde, Gran Canaria Island, Spain. Categories were defined according to 2003 modified American Diabetes Association criteria....
There is currently no standardized procedure to assess sarcopenia in long-stay catabolic patients. Our aim analyze a novel ultrasound muscle assessment protocol these patients versus healthy controls, by carrying out prospective observational study. We designed new that assesses quadriceps rectus femoris (QRF) quality real-time B-mode, color-Doppler, and M-mode ultrasound, evaluates QRF intramuscular central tendon thickness, cross-sectional area, thickness B-mode. Logistic regression was...
Metabolic syndrome is a clinical disorder that becoming more prevalent in Spain. The encompasses set of metabolic disorders such as type-2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity, which may be associated with variations serum levels poor delivery certain mineral elements.This study attempted to ascertain whether might linked alterations the elements magnesium, copper, zinc, chromium, nickel population 92 diabetic subjects, some suffering from conditions syndrome, 72...
Abstract Introduction Candidemia in critically ill patients is usually a severe and life-threatening condition with high crude mortality. Very few studies have focused on the impact of candidemia ICU patient outcome attributable mortality still remains controversial. This study was carried out to determine ICU-acquired using propensity score matching analysis. Methods A prospective observational conducted all consecutive non-neutropenic adult admitted for at least seven days 36 ICUs Spain,...
We examined whether long-term use of selective digestive tract decontamination (SDD) was effective in reducing intensive care unit (ICU)-acquired infection and antibiotic consumption while decreasing colistin-, tobramycin-, most the antibiotic-resistant colonization rates a mixed ICU with high endemic level multidrug-resistant bacteria (MDRB). In this cohort study, which conducted 30-bed medical-surgical ICU, clinical outcomes before (1 year, non-SDD group) after (4 years) implementation SDD...
Genetic variability of the pulmonary surfactant proteins A and D may affect clearance microorganisms extent inflammatory response. The genes these collectins (SFTPA1, SFTPA2 SFTPD) are located in a cluster at 10q21-24. objective this study was to evaluate existence linkage disequilibrium (LD) among genes, association with susceptibility outcome community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). We also studied effect genetic on SP-D serum levels. Seven non-synonymous polymorphisms SFTPA1, SFTPD were...
Abstract Background : Precise reference intervals of adrenal gland thickness are required for detection adrenomegaly in dogs with hyperadrenocorticism (HAC). Methods Eighty‐six clinically healthy were prospectively included, and 91 untreated HAC retrospectively evaluated. Dorso‐ventral was ultrasonographically measured on the sagittal plane. Dogs classified into four body weight categories, those also as consistent pituitary‐dependent (PDH), adrenal‐dependent (FAT), equivocal asymmetry...
Las Cooperativas de Ahorro y Crédito (Coopac) en Perú desempeñaron un papel crucial la inclusión financiera durante su auge a partir 1960, ofreciendo servicios esenciales comunidades desatendidas por banca tradicional. Sin embargo, década 1980 marcó período desafíos significativos para estas instituciones, las cuales enfrentaron escenario tormentoso auspiciado una crisis económica severa política gubernamental intervencionista. En ese sentido, este fracaso Coopac se explica cómo competencia...
Spasticity is a common complication in patients with neurological disorders, increasing disability and hampering quality of life. Combined treatment focused shock waves (fESWT) botulinum toxin (BoNT-A) has been shown to increase the effectiveness duration effect BoNT-A on spasticity brain injuries. We studied combination unfocused (uESWT) spasticity. This prospective study systematic randomization included 24 injury, small sample size due clinical limitations, was measured using Ashworth...
