Infective endocarditis (IE) is a complex and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by infection of the heart's endocardial surface, often leading to systemic complications. Historically recognized as distinct pathological entity, IE has been associated with wide range bacterial pathogens, Bartonella species emerging notable cause in recent years. Among these, quintana rare but significant etiological agent, particularly cases culture-negative endocarditis. The management...
Background: Acute kidney disease (AKD) is a recent definition reflecting ongoing physiopathological processes of an acute renal injury (AKI). Information on AKD in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) scarce and there no available data long-term outcomes. We aimed to determine the cumulative incidence first 100 days after HSCT; identify risk factors for impact 3-year overall survival relapse-free HSCT. Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted, considering when AKI present...
Abstract Background Genetic predisposition plays a major role in the development of invasive pulmonary aspergillosis (IPA). The risk and course IPA vary significantly among patients, yet continuously new genetic mechanisms that influence individual antifungal immune responses are being discovered. While variability IL-1 family cytokines is recognized as an important cause disease susceptibility, it unclear whether how less-studied members, such IL-36 cytokine subfamily, genetically regulated...
Eligibility and indication for autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) in patients with lymphoma are increasing. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a known complication of HSCT studies including miscellaneous hematological diagnoses using different definitions AKI. We aimed to evaluate incidence, risk factors prognostic impact AKI post-HSCT submitted the KDIGO classification both serum creatinine urinary output criteria. performed single-center retrospective cohort study admitted...
The aim of this study was to analyse the stomatognathic system adult women with chronic allergic rhinitis by means molar bite force and electromyographic activity masseter temporalis muscles.A total 26 subjects were screened divided into two distinct groups: group (n = 13) healthy control 13). Subjects assessed maximal (right left) normalized mandibular tasks (rest, right left laterality, protrusion voluntary contraction). Data submitted Student's t test (p< .05).There significant difference...
Hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) is an important treatment option for hematologic malignancies. Acute kidney injury (AKI) a common complication in HSCTs and related to worse outcomes. We aimed create predictive risk score AKI HSCT considering variables available at the time of transplant. performed retrospective cohort study. was defined by KDIGO classification using creatinine urinary output criteria. used survival analysis with competing events. Continuous were dichotomized...
Abstract Background - Allogeneic Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplant (allo-HSCT) is often complicated by Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) and has been increasingly used in patients with leukaemia. Studies on this subject include several haematological diseases use only serum creatinine (SCr) to define AKI. We aimed evaluate incidence, risk factors 5-year prognostic impact of AKI leukaemia submitted allo-HSCT SCr urinary output (UO). Methods conducted a single-centre retrospective cohort study. was...
Abstract Background and Aims The incidence of most haematological neoplasms has been increasing with them hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) as it provides better survival rates to several these malignancies. There is a wide range acute kidney injury (AKI) reported in HCT patients, mostly due the heterogeneity AKI definitions study populations that include different underlying illnesses. We aimed evaluate incidence, severity risk factors by KDIGO classification considering creatinine...
Introduction: Sudden infant death syndrome is a major cause of post-neonatal in several countries. The aim our study was to evaluate the carers knowledge and compliance regarding international recommendations for prevention sudden syndrome. Methods: Observational, transversal analytical through analysis anonymous survey applied pregnant women children followed Family Health Unit. Results: Of 163 eligible carers, 60 were included study. mother filled out 51 (85%) cases. Sixteen (27%) had no...
Background: Influenza vaccination, is the cornerstone of influenza epidemics prophylaxis, but there some evidence its lower efficacy in elderly and other high-risk groups population.Aims Methods: We analysed demographic characteristics patients (pts) hospitalized an internal medicine ward (IMw) during 2016-17 flu season, investigating whether had been previous prevention, overall how infection progressed. All pts admitted to our hospital center, with positive nasopharyngeal swab, from 1st...
Abstract BACKGROUND Studies on acute kidney injury (AKI) in hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT) consider several haematologic diagnoses their cohorts and heterogeneous definitions for AKI not taking into consideration urinary output (UO). We aimed to evaluate the incidence risk factors of first episode patients with leukaemia submitted allogeneic HSCT occurring 100 days post-HSCT, considering both SCr UO criteria KDIGO classification. METHODS conducted a single-center retrospective...
