Dec 21st, 2020 - Toll-like receptors (TLRs) sense microbial infection through recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. For example, TLR4 responds to the lipopolysaccharide of gram-negative bacteria, whereas TLR2 recognizes a broad range of microbial ...

Nov 26th, 2020 - Effective antimicrobial treatment is key to reduce mortality associated with bacterial sepsis in patients on intensive care units (ICUs). Dose adjustments are often necessary to account for pathophysiological changes or renal replacement therapy. ...

Nov 17th, 2020 - Complex critical syndromes like sepsis and coronavirus disease 2019 may be composed of underling "endotypes," which may respond differently to treatment. The aim of this study was to test whether a previously defined bacterial sepsis endotypes cla...

Oct 9th, 2020 - Neonatal sepsis remains an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The ability to quickly and accurately diagnose neonatal sepsis based on clinical assessments and laboratory blood tests remains difficult, where haemoculture is the gold standa...

Sep 24th, 2020 - Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus2 has caused a global pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). High-density lipoproteins (HDLs), particles chiefly known for their reverse cholesterol transport function, also display pleiotropi...

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.

Dec 21st, 2020 - Toll-like receptors (TLRs) sense microbial infection through recognition of pathogen-associated molecular patterns. For example, TLR4 responds to the lipopolysaccharide of gram-negative bacteria, whereas TLR2 recognizes a broad range of microbial ...

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...
