Bloodstream infections (BSIs) are considered as a major cause of morbidity and mortality all over the world. The purpose of this study was to explore the distribution and antimicrobial resistance trends of pathogens causing BSIs...
“Growing evidence indicates that survivors of sepsis face multiple health challenges after their...
Sepsis is defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection. Sestrin2 (SESN2), a highly evolutionarily conserved protein, is critically involved in the cellular response to various...
Cytokines are considered vital mediators of the immune system. Down- or upregulation of these mediators is linked to several inflammatory and pathologic situations. IL-26 is referred to as an identified member of the IL-10...
Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has become the most important pathogen of hospital-acquired (HA) or community-acquired (CA) infections. However, it is unclear of the cytokines responsible for pathological...
Obesity is an independent risk factor for worse outcomes in various surgical settings. Whether obesity is a prognostic factor for postoperative morbidity and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) is inconclusive. This study aimed...
Sepsis and bloodstream infection are associated with significant morbidity and mortality, and early effective antimicrobial therapy has been demonstrated to improve patient outcomes. Traditional culture-based methods, however,...
Arteriovenous malformations of the lower extremities (AVM) can present as simple or complex combined or syndromic forms (e.g. Parkes Weber Syndrome). We aimed to characterize the differences in clinical presentation and natural...
BACKGROUND Chromobacterium violaceum (C. violaceum) is a gram-negative and facultative anaerobic oxidase-positive bacillus generally seen in tropical or subtropical areas (latitudes between 35°N and 35°S). C. violaceum infection...
Group A Streptoccocus (GAS) is among the most diverse of all human pathogens, responsible for a range of clinical manifestations, from mild superficial infections such as pharyngitis to serious invasive infections such as...
Sepsis is a dysregulated immune response to infection and potentially leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction, which is often seen in serious Covid-19 patients. Disulfiram (DSF), an old drug that has been used to treat...
Emphysematous pyelonephritis (EPN) is an uncommon suppurative infection of renal parenchyma and perirenal tissue characterized by production of gas within renal parenchyma, collecting system or perinephric tissue.We report a...
