While blockade of the cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) T cell regulatory receptor has become a commonly utilized strategy in management advanced melanoma, many questions remain regarding use this agent patient populations with autoimmune disease. We present case involving treatment stage IV melanoma and ulcerative colitis (UC) anti-CTLA-4 antibody immunotherapy. Upon initial treatment, developed grade III requiring tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) blocking therapy, however...
Rationale: The 2016 guidelines for hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP) suggest applying a universal antibiogram resistance threshold in addition to patient criteria determine empiric coverage. impact of these recommendations is unknown.Objectives:1) Describe national antibiotic use and microbiology patterns HAP among patients with noninfectious admissions, 2) measure the predictive performance risk factors, 3) estimate change practice guideline implementation.Methods: We conducted...
Kerstersia spp. are an unusual cause of human infections. We report the first known case bacteremia and sepsis due to gyiorum, in a patient with chronic lower-extremity ulcers, we review literature on this uncommon pathogen.
Medical research publications on sepsis have increased at an exponential rate, whereas our capacity to absorb and understand them has remained limited. We used topic modeling, a method that allows machines distill large amounts of information into its elemental themes, help us infer the discourse led present model/understanding sepsis. Using this model augment understanding sepsis, evolving, networked complex disease, we aimed recognize connections could be further explored aid in knowledge...
Purpose: The purpose of this abstract is reducing delays in dispatch, deployment the team and better utilization services. use effective tools workflows to facilitate seamless dispatch eliminate goal all pediatric transport teams. As volume increases, so do missed transports for both Neonatal Pediatric Teams. secondary effect increased can compromise timely required …
