Angiopoietin-2 associations with the underlying infection and sepsis severity
(2015)Angiopoietin-2 (Ang-2) is an important mediator in sepsis. We have previously shown that endotoxemia levels are related to the underlying infection and affect septic patients' outcome. Based on this background we now ... -
Cancer-associated stroke: Pathophysiology, detection and management (Review)
(2019)Numerous types of cancer have been shown to be associated with either ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. In this review, the epidemiology and pathophysiology of stroke in cancer patients is discussed, while providing vital ... -
Global forum: The burden of bone and joint infections: A growing demand for more resources
(2017)The rate and severity of septic complications following joint replacement surgery and the incidence of post-traumatic infections are projected to increase at a faster pace because of a tendency to operate on high-risk ... -
Helicobacter pylori and autoimmune disease: Cause or bystander
(2014)Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is the main cause of chronic gastritis and a major risk factor for gastric cancer. This pathogen has also been considered a potential trigger of gastric autoimmunity, and in particular of ... -
Higher Infection Rate after ACL Reconstruction with Hamstrings Tendon Autografts Compared with Bone Patellar Bone Tendon Autografts: A Review
(2022)Infection after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction is a rare but devastating complication resulting in a deleterious impact on knee function as well as an increased related cost for treatment and rehabilitation for ... -
Implanted Subdural Electrodes: Safety Issues and Complication Avoidance
(2011)Invasive electroencephalography via subdural implanted electrodes is essential for the identification and localization of the epileptogenic focus in a large percentage of cases of medically refractory epilepsy. The ... -
Infections Up to 76 Days After Stroke Increase Disability and Death
(2017)Early infection after stroke is associated with a poor outcome. We aimed to determine whether delayed infections (up to 76 days post-stroke) are associated with poor outcome at 90 days. Data came from the international ... -
Infectome: A platform to trace infectious triggers of autoimmunity
(2013)The "exposome" is a term recently used to describe all environmental factors, both exogenous and endogenous, which we are exposed to in a lifetime. It represents an important tool in the study of autoimmunity, complementing ... -
Inulin-type fructan supplementation of 3- To 6-year-old children is associated with higher fecal Bifidobacterium concentrations and fewer febrile episodes requiring medical attention
(2018)Background: Inulin-type fructans used in formula have been shown to promote microbiota composition and stool consistency closer to those of breastfed infants and to have beneficial effects on fever occurrence, diarrhea, ... -
Is anorexia during infection in animals affected by food composition?
(2010)A reduction in voluntary food intake, referred to as anorexia, is a consistent feature of infection in both humans and animals. Its Occurrence is considered a paradox and the magnitude and duration of anorexia appear to ... -
MACHINE LEARNING to DEVELOP A MODEL THAT PREDICTS EARLY IMPENDING SEPSIS in NEUROSURGICAL PATIENTS
(2022)Sepsis is currently defined as a "life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by a dysregulated host response to infection". The early detection and prediction of sepsis is a challenging task, with significant potential gains ... -
Management strategies for infected total hip arthroplasty. A critical appreciation of problems and techniques
(2014)Infection is a devastating complication of total hip arthroplasty (THA). Risk factors have been recognised and prevention is possible. The nature of the disease is heterogeneous and for satisfactory management one has to ... -
Peculiar antibody reactivity to human connexin 37 and its microbial mimics in patients with Crohn's disease
(2011)Background/aims: We found that pooled Crohn's disease (CD) sera strongly react with a human gap-junction connexin 37 (Cx37) peptide and tested for anti-Cx37 antibody reactivity in sera from CD patients and controls. We ... -
Potential Roles for Infectious Agents in the Pathophysiology of Primary Biliary Cirrhosis: What's New?
(2013)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a progressive cholestatic liver disease serologically characterized by the presence of high-titer antimitochondrial antibodies and, histologically by chronic nonsuppurative cholangitis ... -
Primary closure versus non-closure of dog bite wounds. A randomised controlled trial
(2014)Introduction: Dog bite wounds represent a major health problem. Despite their importance, their management and especially the role of primary closure remain controversial. In this randomised controlled trial, the outcome ... -
Progression into sepsis: An individualized process varying by the interaction of comorbidities with the underlying infection
(2018)Background: Development of sepsis is a process with significant variation among individuals. The precise elements of this variation need to be defined. This study was designed to define the way in which comorbidities ... -
Risk factors for enterococcal infection and colonization by vancomycin-resistant enterococci in critically ill patients
(2014)Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococci (VRE) are important causes of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) infections. Our goal was to identify the prevalence and risk factors for VRE colonization upon ICU admission and during ICU stay, as ... -
Role for mycobacterial infection in pathogenesis of primary biliary cirrhosis?
(2012)Primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC) is a progressive cholestatic liver disease characterized by the immune-mediated destruction of biliary epithelial cells in small intrahepatic bile ducts. The disease is characterized by ... -
Tracing environmental markers of autoimmunity: introducing the infectome
(2013)We recently introduced the concept of the infectome as a means of studying all infectious factors which contribute to the development of autoimmune disease. It forms the infectious part of the exposome, which collates all ... -
Twin studies in autoimmune disease: Genetics, gender and environment
(2012)Twin studies are powerful tools to discriminate whether a complex disease is due to genetic or environmental factors. High concordance rates among monozygotic (MZ) twins support genetic factors being predominantly involved, ...
