Nosocomial infections in adult intensive-care units
TL;DR: Management of nosocomial infection relies on adequate and appropriate antibiotic therapy, which should be selected after discussion with infectious-disease specialists and adapted as microbiological data become available.
Journal ArticleDOI
Candida Infections of the Genitourinary Tract
TL;DR: Despite its high incidence and clinical relevance, genitourinary candidiasis is understudied, and therefore, important questions about pathogenesis and treatment guidelines remain to be resolved.

Laboratory Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Infections in Adult Patients
TL;DR: Urinary tract infections are among the most common bacterial infections and account for a significant part of the workload in clinical microbiology laboratories, with the increase in resistance to some antimicrobial agents particularly the resistance to trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole seen in E. coli.

Laboratory diagnosis of urinary tract infections in adult patients. Authors' reply
TL;DR: The most common cause of UTI infection is E. coli infection as mentioned in this paper, which accounts for a significant part of the workload in clinical microbiology laboratories. But the distribution of the pathogens that cause UTIs is changing.

The global burden of unsafe medical care: analytic modelling of observational studies
Ashish K. Jha,Itziar Larizgoitia,Carmen Audera-Lopez,Nittita Prasopa-Plaizier,Hugh Waters,David W. Bates +5 more
TL;DR: Early evidence is provided that adverse events due to medical care represent a major source of morbidity and mortality globally, and the importance of critically evaluating the quality and safety of the care provided once a person accesses health services is suggested.

A new method of classifying prognostic comorbidity in longitudinal studies: Development and validation☆
TL;DR: The method of classifying comorbidity provides a simple, readily applicable and valid method of estimating risk of death fromComorbid disease for use in longitudinal studies and further work in larger populations is still required to refine the approach.

TL;DR: A concomitant increase in circulating monocytes bearing class II (HLA-DR) surface antigen suggested that the attacks induced during treatment were immunologically mediated, and IFN-gamma is unsuitable for treatment of MS.
