<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Objectives</h3> To assess the mortality attributable to infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacterales (CRE) and investigate effect of clinical management on differences in observed outcomes a multinational matched cohort study. <h3>Methods</h3> A prospective matched-cohorts study (NCT02709408) was performed 50 European hospitals from March 2016 November 2018. The main outcome 30-day with an active post-discharge follow-up when applied. CRE included patients...
Background. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a viral infectious caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Diabetes mellitus (DM) have been reported frequently in patients with the new corona virus — 2019, COVID-19. It has associated progressive course and worse outcome. There scarce data on diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) COVID-19 infection. several cases infection precipitating diagnosis of type DM (T2DM). However, there lack evidence regarding 1 (T1DM). We...
Carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) represent a significant threat and global problem when it comes to the detection treatment of infections [1]. Since their first discovery in 1996 United States, CPEs harbouring one Ambler class A enzymes, Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemases (KPC), have been detected many geographic regions [2]. They disseminated rather rapidly, reaching endemic proportions countries such as Greece, Italy Israel [3]. We document here for time [4]...
This study shows that the addition of a consensus 4-locus set hypervariable mycobacterial interspersed repetitive-unit-variable-number tandem repeat (MIRU-VNTR) loci to spoligotyping-24-locus MIRU-VNTR typing strategy is well-standardized approach can contribute an improvement true cluster definition while retaining high typeability in non-Beijing strains.
Isolation of metallo-β-lactamase-producing, carbapenem-resistant, Pseudomonas aeruginosa strains is increasingly being documented worldwide; their presence constitutes a public health threat. Here, we report draft genome sequences two New Delhi metallo-β-lactamase-1-producing, multidrug-resistant, P. sequence type 235 that were isolated from the surgical wound patients hospitalized in same ward.
Patient with Pancoast Tumor usually present in advanced stage of the disease which requires chemotherapy and radiotherapy as options treatment. Histologic confirmation is a key for further treatment these patients. Normally bronchoscopy lesion can't be visualised result making biopsy difficult to perform. Transthoracic through computed tomography poses anatomic difficulties not always pulmonary can reached. We report case pancoast tumor 68 year old male who presented left arm pain upper lobe...
Background Lung ultrasound (LU) has now become an indispensable diagnostic tool, fulfilling his prediction. However, outdated concepts and terminologies in LU interpretation require reevaluation to align with current clinical knowledge. Aim of Study The study aims modernize lung by transitioning from artifact-based terminologies, such as A-lines B-lines, nomenclature that emphasizes anatomical significance. This approach seeks enhance precision utility critical care respiratory medicine....
Background: Bronchoscopy has been found to be applicable in diagnosing suspects of pulmonary TB which have no sputum or smear negative for acid fast bacilli. Additionally, it is helpful the diagnosis endobronchial tuberculosis, allowing early detection broncho stenosis.Methods: A prospective study, where bronchoscopy was conducted 167 patients with acid-fast bacillus negative. The average age 44.1±19.4, from 15 87 years old, higher frequency 20-40 old and 55-64 old.Results: From endoscopic...
<b>Background:</b> There are only a few studies describing the levels of FENO in COPD patients and published reports conflicting their conclusions. <b>Purpose study:</b> To study values exacerbation, relationship with disease stage pulmonary function test use differential diagnosis exacerbation bronchial asthma <b>Materials Methods:</b> This was prospective study. FFNO has been measured 112 98 male 14 female, mean age 63 (±11.1) years 122 asthma. by an electrochemical nitric oxide analyzer...
