Gram-negative bacteremia (GN-BSI) can cause significant morbidity and mortality, but the benefit of infectious diseases consultation (IDC) is not well defined. A 24-site observational cohort study unique hospitalized patients with 4861 GN-BSI episodes demonstrated a 40% decreased risk 30-day mortality in IDC compared to those without IDC.
Abstract Background Respiratory infections are among the most common reasons antibiotics prescribed. However, 30-50% of patients started on for CAP do not have bacterial infections. Methods We implemented clinical decision support (CDS) in electronic health record two hospitals to diagnosis viral vs. CAP. The CDS (1) estimates probability using logic from a publicly available calculator and (2) provides probability-based options diagnostic testing. is triggered by an order respiratory virus...
Plexins (plxns) are transmembrane (TM) receptors involved in the guidance of vascular, lymphatic vessel, and neuron growth as well cancer metastasis. Plxn signaling results cytosolic GTPase-activating protein activity, previous research implicates dimerization important for activation plxn signaling. Purified, soluble extracellular domains exhibit only weak homomeric interactions, suggesting a role TM juxtamembrane regions homooligomerization. In this study, we consider heptad repeat Danio...
Outcomes for critically ill people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) have changed the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART). To identify these outcomes and correlates mortality in a contemporary cohort an urban academic medical center Baltimore, city high burden HIV, we conducted retrospective study individuals admitted to intensive care unit (MICU) at tertiary between 2009 2014. PLHIV who were least 18 years age index MICU admission ≥24 hours during 5-year period included this...
Abstract Misdiagnosis of bacterial pneumonia increases risk exposure to inappropriate antibiotics and adverse events. We developed a diagnosis calculator ( https://calculator.testingwisely.com ) inform clinical community-acquired using objective indicators, including incidence disease, factors, sensitivity specificity diagnostic tests, that were identified through literature review.
