Sepsis-induced acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a common, high mortality complication in intensive care unit (ICU) patients. MicroRNA-92a (miR-92a) plays a role in many diseases...
Despite effective antibiotics and vaccines, bacterial meningitis (BM) remains one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in young infants worldwide. Scarce data on the aetiology an...
Hypochlorous acid, produced by myeloperoxidase upon neutrophil activation, can oxidize various compounds and exert antimicrobial activity in vivo. To elucidate the mechanisms underlying the ...
Bilateral renal agenesis (BRA) is a lethal diagnosis, specifically meaning that natural survival beyond birth is not expected secondary to pulmonary hypoplasia. Limited contemporary data are...
Soil treatment units (STUs) receiving effluent from on-site wastewater treatment systems (OWTSs) rely on the gradual development of a microbial biomat/biozone at the infiltrative surface for...
Compared to other approaches, anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF) is believed to be more effective at restoring segmental lordosis and reducing risks of adjacent-segment disease. It rema...
The rising food production to meet the growing human population has led to increased anthropogenic inputs of nutrients such as NO in groundwater and aquatic environments. Nitrate concentrati...
To assess the effects of a single dose of vitamin D on 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels and clinical outcomes in children with vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and sepsis.In this randomized, con...
Severe sepsis and septic shock are still the leading causes of death in Intensive Care Units (ICUs), and timely diagnosis is crucial for treatment outcomes. The progression of electronic med...
Karst aquifers are extremely vulnerable to pollution, including from nitrate. This research advances a systematic evaluation of water quality dynamics and processes in a relatively pristine ...
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) often occurs with sepsis. A scoring system has been used for the diagnosis of DIC, but the system included at least 4 parameters. The purpose of ...
Urinary trypsin inhibitor (UTI), also known as ulinastatin, has been reported to protect multiple organs against inflammation- and/or injury-induced dysfunction. In the present study, we aim...
No large multicentre prospective studies ever addressed the outcomes of mpMRI targeted fusion transperineal biopsy (TPFBx) under local anesthesia (LA). The debate upon best biopsy modality i...
New research was presented at AATS 2020, the virtual Annual Meeting of the American Association for Thoracic Surgery, from May 22-23. The features below highlight some of the studies present...
Sepsis and heart failure (HF) are among the most mentioned hospital conditions when discussing unneeded treatment variation with health system CMOs, according to Trever Burgon, PhD. Data sug...
CD4+CD25+ regulatory T cells (Tregs) play an essential role in sepsis-induced immunosuppression. How, the effects of interleukin (IL)-36 cytokines on CD4+CD25+ Tregs and their underlying mec...
Various pathologies and lifestyle factors, such as nutritional factors and physical exercises, can alter the gene expression of proteins related to synthesis and degradation.We performed a s...
Capillary permeability can be increased in patients with sepsis. Indirect estimation of plasma volume status (ePVS) could identify more severely ill patients with fever.1502 patients evaluat...
Interleukin-1 receptor-associated kinases (IRAKs), particularly IRAK1 and IRAK4, are important in transducing signal from Toll-like receptor 4. We interrogated if a selective inhibition of I...
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a consumptive coagulopathy associated with multiple conditions. Diagnosis is based upon clinical and laboratory findings with assessment of f...
