TL;DR: A systematic review and meta-analysis of published randomized studies found statistically significant increases in the occurrence of any infections, serious infections, and tuberculosis associated with anti-TNF drug use, while the data for opportunistic infections were scarce.

TL;DR: Bedside chest ultrasound is a reliable tool for the diagnosis of pneumonia in the ED, probably being superior to CXR in this setting, and it is likely that its wider use will allow a faster diagnosis, conducive to a more appropriate and timely therapy.

TL;DR: Phenotypic and genotypic characterizations of Lactobacillus maltaromicus strains DSM 20342(T) and DSM 20344 provided evidence for the reclassification of this species in the genus Carnobacterium and highlighted that these two species should be considered synonyms.

TL;DR: Type strains of all Carnobacterium species were analyzed by 16S–23S rDNA intergenic spacer analysis in comparison with type strains of phylogenetically related lactic acid bacteria, and analogous results were obtained by restriction analysis of amplified 16S r DNA performed with HaeIII and HinfI as restriction enzymes.

TL;DR: The upper intensity limit for prolonged aerobic exercise, that is, CP, is equal to 65% of peak power in CHF patients, which provides a physiologically meaningful reference for continuous aerobic training prescription in this population.
