TL;DR: This research presents a novel probabilistic procedure called “spot-spot analysis” that allows for real-time analysis of the response of the immune system to natural disasters.

TL;DR: Investigation of relationships of the presence of NETs and Cit-H3 with the existence of bacteria in tracheal aspirate, SIRS, diagnosis, WBC count, and concentrations of IL-8, TNF-α, cf-DNA, lactate, and HMGB1 found no significant relationships.

TL;DR: The results indicate circulation of phylogenetically distinct strains of carbapenem-resistant E. coli with various plasmids harboring blaNDM genes in the hospital.

TL;DR: This is the first Japanese report to demonstrate the significant spread of CRE in both ACHs and LTCHs using an improved selective medium and a coordinated regional approach may help to prevent further spread.

TL;DR: Examining the source of cf-DNA by detecting citrullinated histone H3, a characteristic feature of NET formation, in cecal ligation and puncture- (CLP-)operated mice suggested that elevatedcf-DNA levels during early-phase sepsis may represent a candidate biomarker for the severity ofSepsis and that, contrary to previous findings, cf- DNA is not derived from neutrophils or NETs.
