Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the outcomes Hawkins type II fractures treated with a simultaneous dual approach. Methods: A retrospective multicenter conducted at four major trauma centers. Patients closed talar neck managed by approach complete preoperative medical records and minimum follow-up six months were included. Results: Eighteen patients identified. anatomical reduction achieved in 17 cases, mean 53.57 ± 31.77 (range 8 116 months), American Orthopaedic Foot &...
We undertook a randomized clinical trial comparing therapeutic efficacy of the 1-day doxycycline regimen with 5-day josamycin for Mediterranean spotted fever. All 59 patients recovered uneventfully, and results did not significantly differ between two schedules. One-day therapy is an effective, easy, inexpensive treatment. Josamycin useful alternative that may be particularly convenient pregnant women history allergy to tetracyclines.
In order to discriminate between benign and malignant effusions, the value of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), alpha1-acidglycoprotein (AGP), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), phosphohexose isomerase (PHI), beta2-microglobulin (B2M) has been estimated in serous effusions a group 106 patients, 30 with 76 effusion. Mean CEA AGP levels were significantly higher than effusions; no significant differences mean PHI, AFP B2M found. level estimations useful for confirming malignancy 27% but only 7.5% all PHI...
SUMMARY Cat scratch disease (CSD), bacillary angiomatosis, hepatic peliosis and some cases of bacteraemia, endocarditis, osteomyelitis are directly caused by species the genus Bartonella . The purpose this study was to determine prevalence IgG antibodies against henselae in healthy people identify epidemiological factors involved. Serum samples from 218 patients were examined indirect immunofluorescence assay (IFA). Significance levels for univariate statistical analysis determined...
SUMMARY Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is highly prevalent in Spanish hospitals and community long-term-care facilities (LTCFs). This longitudinal study was performed LTCFs to determine whether MRSA colonization associated with infections overall mortality. Nasal decubitus ulcer cultures were every 6 months for an 18-month period on 178 MRSA-colonized residents (86 490 patient-days) 196 non-MRSA carriers (97 470 patient-days). Fourteen developed 10 of these skin soft...
Abstract: Rickettsia slovaca , the causative agent of TIBOLA, is transmitted by Dermacentor ticks. marginatus most widely species distributed in northeasler Spain, and wild boar constitutes main host. D. ticks were collected from hunterkilled tested PCR/RFLP. Rickettsial DNA–positive sequenced using ompA PCR primers. The prevalence R. was 17.7%. Other spotted fever group rickettsiae detected ticks, but these not definitely identified.
Aim: Streptococcus pneumoniae is the most common cause of bacteraemia, pneumonia, sinusitis and acute otitis media. With advent conjugate vaccines, there now possibility preventing disease caused by this organism. However, little known about epidemiology invasive pneumococcal in children Spain. The aim study was to determine incidence clinical microbiologic characteristics Sabadell, an industrial area province Barcelona, Methods : From January 1990 December 2000, case records with at...
