TL;DR: AS for PCa offers an opportunity to limit intervention to patients who will likely benefit the most from radical treatment, and confers a low risk of disease-specific mortality in the short to intermediate term.

TL;DR: This study examined the different predictive relationships between NP domains, functional competence, social competence, symptoms, and real-world behavior in domains of work skills, interpersonal relationships, and community activities.

TL;DR: Multivariate analysis including other predictors of mortality showed that use of a carbapenem during the 5-day period after onset of bacteremia due to an ESBL-producing organism was independently associated with lower mortality.
Abstract: The prevalence of extended-spectrum b-lactamase (ESBL) production by Klebsiella pneumonia approaches 50% in some countries, with particularly high rates in eastern Europe and Latin America. No randomized trials have ever been performed on treatment of bacteremia due to ESBL-producing organisms; existing data comes only from retrospective, single-institution studies. In a prospective study of 455 consecutive episodes of Klebsiella pneumoniae bacteremia in 12 hospitals in 7 countries, 85 episodes were due to an ESBL–producing organism. Failure to use an antibiotic active against ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae was associated with extremely high mortality. Use of a carbapenem (primarily imipenem) was associated with a significantly lower 14-day mortality than was use of other antibiotics active in vitro. Multivariate analysis including other predictors of mortality showed that use of a carbapenem during the 5-day period after onset of bacteremia due to an ESBL-producing organism was independently associated with lower mortality. Antibiotic choice is particularly important in seriously ill patients with infections due to ESBL-producing K. pneumoniae.

TL;DR: Dgat2-deficient mice are lipopenic and die soon after birth, apparently from profound reductions in substrates for energy metabolism and from impaired permeability barrier function in the skin, supporting the hypothesis that the two enzymes play fundamentally different roles in mammalian triglyceride metabolism.

TL;DR: The pattern of results suggests that the effect of aerobic exercise training was on central rather than on peripheral function, and it is speculated that aerobic exercise promoted increased cerebral metabolic activity with a resultant improvement in neuropsychological test scores.
