Aug 1st, 2020 - Strategies to reduce platelet (PLT) bacterial contamination include donor screening, skin disinfection, sample diversion, bacterial culture, pathogen reduction (PR), and day-of-transfusion tests. We report bacterial sepsis following a pathogen-red...

Jun 20th, 2020 - B-1a cells provide immediate and essential protection from infection through production of natural Ig, which is germline-like due to minimal insertion of N region additions. We have previously demonstrated peritoneal B-1a cell-derived phosphorylch...

Jun 19th, 2020 - Thrombotic complications and coagulopathy frequently occur in COVID-19. However, the characteristics of COVID-19-associated coagulopathy (CAC) are distinct from those seen with bacterial sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) and disseminated intravasc...

Jun 16th, 2020 - Maternal overweight and obesity are related to risks of pregnancy and delivery complications that, in turn, are associated with newborn infections. We examined the associations between early pregnancy body mass index (BMI; kg/m2) and risk of early...

Mar 11th, 2020 - The aim of this study was to determine the association between secretory phospholipase A2 group IIA (sPLA2-IIA) and eicosanoid pathway metabolites in patients with bacterial sepsis syndrome (BSS). Levels of sPLA2-IIA, eicosanoids prostaglandin (PG...

Nov 30th, 2018 - Early-onset sepsis (EOS) remains a serious and often fatal illness among infants born preterm, particularly among newborn infants of the lowest gestational age. Currently, most preterm infants with very low birth weight are treated empirically wit.

Dec 11th, 2017 - Often overlooked and more difficult to identify than many other life-threatening conditions, sepsis causes one-third to one-half of all deaths in U. S.

Feb 16th, 2016 - Improvements in usual care can largely be attributed to the emphasis that the EGDT study placed on caring for patients with sepsis. Patients in the usual care arms of the ProCESS, ARISE, and ProMISE trials received aggressive intravenous fluids an.

Aug 1st, 2020 - Strategies to reduce platelet (PLT) bacterial contamination include donor screening, skin disinfection, sample diversion, bacterial culture, pathogen reduction (PR), and day-of-transfusion tests. We report bacterial sepsis following a pathogen-red...

Aug 15th, 2018 - Platelet-transmitted bacterial infections persist as a cause of transfusion-associated morbidity and mortality, according to researchers writing in Mortality and Morbidity Weekly Report. They describe 2 separate clusters of platelet transfusion-a.

Jun 14th, 2017 - MADRID – Whole blood multiplex polymerase chain reaction (PCR) holds considerable promise as a rapid noninvasive test to improve diagnosis of life-threatening bacterial infections in children with suspected sepsis yet negative blood cultures, Clar.

Mar 27th, 2014 - Only 1. 9% of tumor patients who did not have prophylactic antibiotics developed febrile urinary tract infections after flexible cystoscopy, according to research published in the April issue of European Urology.

Jan 1st, 2010 - A testing method that uses positive blood cultures and an automated DNA-based polymerase chain reaction and microarray system accurately identified bacteria in sepsis much faster than a standard culture-based process. The test identified bacterial.

Oct 16th, 2008 - ROCKVILLE, Md., Oct. 16 -- The FDA today announced that efalizumab (Raptiva) must carry a boxed warning to highlight the risk of life-threatening infections, including progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The warning will also include...
