Sleep deprivation is highly prevalent in the modern world, possibly reaching epidemic proportions. While multiple theories regarding roles of sleep exist (inactivity, energy conservation, restoration, brain plasticity and antioxidant), unknowns still remain proposed antioxidant sleep. The existing experimental evidence often contradicting, with studies pointing both toward against presence oxidative stress after deprivation. main goals this review were to analyze data relationship between...
(1) Background: This paper aims to provide a description of non-faecalis non-faecium enterococci isolated from tertiary care hospital in Romania and briefly review the existing literature regarding involvement Enterococcus raffinosus, durans avium human infections their antimicrobial resistance patterns; (2) Methods: We retrospectively analyzed all Enteroccocus species “Prof. Dr. O. Fodor” Regional Institute Gastroenterology Hepatology Cluj-Napoca during one year focusing on Enterococci. A...
Background andobjectives: Health systems all over the world are confronted with an alarming rise of cases in which individuals hesitate, delay, and even refuse vaccination, despite availability quality vaccine services. In order to mitigate combat this phenomenon, now defined by World Organization (WHO) as hesitancy (VH), we must first understand factors that lead its occurrence era characterized wide access safe effective vaccines. To achieve this, conducted field testing Vaccine Hesitancy...
(1) Background: As β-lactamase-producing Enterobacterales are no longer exclusively associated with the health care system, investigating potential risk they pose to integrity of environment and food safety has become utmost importance. This study aimed determine prevalence extended-spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL), AmpC, carbapenemase-producing isolates from retailed raw vegetables if household washing is an effective method lowering bacterial load; (2) Methods: Seasonal (n = 165) were acquired...
COVID-19 offers ideal premises for bacteria to develop antimicrobial resistance. In this study, we evaluated the presence of several resistance genes (ARG) in vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) isolated from rectal swabs patients at a hospital Cluj-Napoca, Romania. Rectal were cultivated on CHROMID® VRE (bioMérieux, Marcy-l' Étoile, France) and positive isolates identified using MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry (Bruker Daltonics, Bremen, Germany) further analyzed PCR technique following...
is a rare species, part of the viridans streptococcus group, found initially in rabbits and pigs, which can be vancomycin-resistant. We present case 65-year-old patient, smoker chronic alcohol consumer with obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) multiple dental foci who had been diagnosed bacterial endocarditis caused by
(1) Background: The rise in antibiotic resistant bacteria poses a significant threat to public health worldwide, necessitating innovative solutions. This study explores the role of Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats (CRISPR) context resistance among different species from
Antibiotic resistance is on the WHO's top 10 list of global public health threats due to its rapid emergence and spread but also because high morbidity mortality associated with it. Amongst main species driving this phenomenon A. baumannii, a member ESKAPE group medical assistance-associated infections causing famous for extensively drug-resistant phenotypes. Our findings note 91.52% frequency carbapenem-resistant baumannii (XDR CRAB) phenotype amongst clinical isolates from multiple...
Background/Objectives: With the increasing use of dental implants in edentulous patients and high prevalence peri-implantitis, understanding its microbial risk factors is crucial. This study investigated Romanian from two private clinics Cluj-Napoca, Romania, diagnosed with focusing on identifying predominant bacterial species at affected sites compared healthy implant sites. Additionally, we examined impact such as smoking, gender, age, prosthetic restoration type disease prevalence....
Abstract Background Giardia duodenalis is one of the most prevalent and highly diverse human parasites, encompassing a complex eight genetically distinct assemblages, each further divided into sub-assemblages. While in recent years, G. genotype distribution patterns humans have been intensely studied, there still very little information available on diversity genotypes sub-assemblages infecting people Romania. In present study, we investigated genetic asymptomatic patients from Methods Over...
Very limited data exists on the genetic diversity of Toxoplasma gondii from Eastern Europe. We present first Romanian case symptomatic congenital toxoplasmosis in which T. strain was isolated after inoculation mice a cerebrospinal fluid sample living neonate. The genotyped with 15 microsatellite markers distributed 10 14 chromosomes gondii. had type II genotype.
infection (CDI) is a significant cause of mortality, especially in healthcare environments. Reliable biomarkers that can accurately predict mortality CDI patients are yet to be evaluated. Our study aims evaluate the accuracy several inflammatory and hemogram-derived ratios predicting patients, such as neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), systemic immune-inflammation index (SII), platelet-to-neutrophil (PNR), derived (dNLR), C-reactive protein (CRP), platelet-to-lymphocyte (PLR), procalcitonin (PCT).
Dermatophytes are filamentous keratinophilic fungi which affect nails, skin, and hair. Their variable distribution in the world justifies local epidemiological studies. During recent decades, few studies have been published regarding epidemiology etiology of dermatophytosis Romania. The aim this study was to identify dermatophytes isolated from superficial fungal infections. To best our knowledge, is first such conducted area North-Western Over past four years, samples collected outpatients...
This study aimed to evaluate the antibacterial effect of three final irrigation protocols and compare their ability remove smear layer debris from root canal. Methods: Sixty-three single-rooted human teeth were inoculated with Enterococcus faecalis for 14 days. The divided into a positive control group (N = 3) treatment groups 20) as follows: saline solution (control group), 5.25% NaOCl ultrasonically activated EndoUltra (EU), standard needle Qmix 2in1 (Qx) using SiroLaser Blue (SB)....
