TL;DR: This research presents a meta-analysis of 125 cases of central giant cell apoptosis, a type of cell death that is known as a “cell death” and which has been associated with Parkinson’s disease for more than 40 years.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bacteremia at Boston City Hospital: Occurrence and mortality during 12 selected years (1935-1972), with special reference to hospital-acquired cases.
TL;DR: In 1972, the incidence of bacteremic infections was significantly higher in males than in females, and the case-fatality ratio was lowest in the youngest group and increased with each decade of life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surveillance of Antimicrobial Use and Antimicrobial Resistance in United States Hospitals: Project ICARE Phase 2
Scott K. Fridkin,Christine D. Steward,Jonathan R. Edwards,Erica R. Pryor,John E. McGowan,Lennox K. Archibald,Robert P. Gaynes,Fred C. Tenover +7 more
TL;DR: Comparative data on use and resistance among similar areas (i.e., ICU or other inpatient areas) can be used as a benchmark by participating hospitals to focus their efforts at addressing antimicrobial resistance.
Journal ArticleDOI
Antimicrobial Resistance in Isolates from Inpatients and Outpatients in the United States: Increasing Importance of the Intensive Care Unit
Lennox K. Archibald,Lisa Phillips,Dominique L. Monnet,John E. McGowan,Fred C. Tenover,Robert P. Gaynes +5 more
TL;DR: There was a significant stepwise decrease in the percentage of resistant organisms isolated from patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), non-ICU inpatients, and outpatients.

Extra charges and prolongation of stay attributable to nosocomial infections: A prospective interhospital comparison
TL;DR: The economic consequences of nosocomial infection in three hospitals that differed in size, administrative characteristics and patients' economic status were influenced more by site of infection than by differences among hospitals, and their magnitude emphasizes the need for continued preventive efforts.
