Ehrlichiosis is a clinically important, emerging zoonosis. Only Ehrlichia chaffeensis and E. ewingii have been thought to cause ehrlichiosis in humans the United States. Patients with suspected routinely undergo testing ensure proper diagnosis ascertain cause.
Abstract: Background: Valganciclovir prophylaxis is reportedly associated with a low incidence of ganciclovir‐resistant cytomegalovirus (CMV). We assessed the incidence, clinical features, and outcome drug‐resistant CMV among solid organ transplant patients who received valganciclovir prophylaxis. Methods: The medical records all D+/R− kidney, pancreas, liver, heart recipients were screened for disease, course outcomes reviewed. Results: During four‐yr‐study period, total 225 median 92 d....
Many recommendation systems produce result sets with large numbers of highly similar items. Diversifying these results is often accomplished heuristics, which are impoverished models users' desire for diversity. However, integrating more complex statistical diversity into large-scale, mature challenging. Without a good match between the model's definition and perception diversity, model can easily degrade recommendations. In this work we present based on determinantal point processes (DPPs)....
As invasive mucormycosis (IM) numbers rise, clinicians suspect prior voriconazole worsens IM incidence and severity, believe combination anti-fungal therapy improves survival. To compare the cumulative (CI), severity mortality of in eras immediately before after commercial availability all cases from 1995 to 2011 were analysed across four risk-groups (hematologic/oncologic malignancy (H/O), stem cell transplantation (SCT), solid organ (SOT) other), two eras, E1 (1995-2003) E2, (2004-2011)....
Neurodegenerative diseases are challenging for systems biology because of the lack reliable animal models or patient samples at early disease stages. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) could address these challenges. We investigated DNA, RNA, epigenetics, and proteins in iPSC-derived motor neurons from patients with ALS carrying hexanucleotide expansions
Background. The optimal prophylactic regimen to prevent cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection and disease in orthotopic liver-transplant patients remains be established. We tested whether a combination of intravenous ganciclovir (GCV) followed by high dosages oral acyclovir (ACV) for 4 months provided higher degree protection from CMV than ACV alone. Methods. One hundred sixty-seven recipients were randomized receive 120 days antiviral treatment starting at the time transplantation consisting...

Deep neck flexor (DNF) muscles stabilize the and contribute to head acceleration control. The function of DNF in cervical spine dynamic stabilization has not been examined athletes any age group, including adolescents. This investigation was necessary prior studying muscles' role injury patterns.The objectives this study were (1) determine average Neck Flexor Endurance Test (DNFET) time scores high school-aged university-aged subjects (aged 14-22 years); (2) establish relationship between...
