Glycogen metabolism by Lactobacillus spp. that dominate the healthy vaginal microbiome contributes to a low pH (3.5-4.5). During bacterial vaginosis (BV), strict and facultative anaerobes including Gardnerella vaginalis become predominant, leading an increase in (> 4.5). BV enhances risk of obstetrical complications, acquisition sexually transmitted infections, cervical cancer. Factors critical for maintenance or transition are not well defined. Vaginal may affect glycogen microflora, thus...
Within the vaginal ecosystem, lactobacilli and Gardnerella spp. likely interact influence each other’s growth, yet details of this interaction are not clearly defined. Using medium simulating fluid a two-chamber co-culturing system to prevent cell-to-cell contact between bacteria, we examined possibility that Lactobacillus jensenii 62B (Lj 62B) and/or G. piotii (Gp) JCP8151B produce extracellular factors through which they viability. By 24 h post-inoculation (hpi) in co-culture under...
Abstract Length of stay is an important metric in healthcare systems, primarily because it reflects the cost care provided. In United States, as many countries, inpatient hospital stays are significantly more expensive than outpatient across all conditions,1 so earlier discharge and transition to crucial help control ever-increasing healthcare. burn patients, length has traditionally been estimated at 1 day per 1% total body surface area burn. This estimation was first described a round...
Despite remarkable developments in healthcare, the world was not ready to stop spread of novel COVID-19 pandemic almost a century after great influenza pandemic. The explosive increase number patients stalled healthcare system, and first apparent issue shortage personal protective equipment (PPE). Our group established system using hydrogen peroxide vaporization method decontaminate reuse N95 respirators for workers. decontaminated over 12,000 units PPE cover institutions West Texas. This...
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is a dermatological process which has lacked both clear pathophysiological definition and efficacious medical treatment. This leads to metabolic dysfunction due the inability regulate fluid electrolytes after loss of skin. It deadly costly disease associated with long lengths stay high-mortality rates. The depth TEN mimics that partial-thickness burn. There been documentation successful usage autologous skin cell suspension (ASCS) in TEN. study expands upon...
