Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) in Acute Respiratory Infection: A Clinic-Based Study in Egypt
TL;DR: Human metapneumovirus is an emerging cause of acute respiratory infection in Mansoura University Children Hospital (MUCH), and may have a significant clinical impact on infants and children and thus, must be considered in etiological diagnosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ceftobiprole medocaril for the treatment of community-acquired pneumonia.
TL;DR: Findings make ceftobiprole a good parenteral therapeutic alternative for the empirical treatment of CAP that requires hospitalization, especially in patients with risk factors for CAP caused by resistant microorganisms.

Diagnostic markers for community-acquired pneumonia
Akihiro Ito,Tadashi Ishida +1 more
TL;DR: Recently, some inflammatory biomarkers such as procalcitonin (PCT), soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (sTREM-1), pro-adrenomedullin (proADM), and presepsin have been developed as relatively specific biomarkers for bacterial infection.

Peter Ahnert,Petra Creutz,Markus Scholz,Hartwig Schütte,Christoph Engel,Hamid Hossain,Trinad Chakraborty,Michael Bauer,Michael Kiehntopf,Uwe Völker,Sven Hammerschmidt,Markus Loeffler,Norbert Suttorp +12 more
TL;DR: A strength of PROGRESS is the focus on younger patients with low burden of co-morbidities, allowing a more direct look at host biology with less confounding, and insights from PROGRess will require validation in representative patient cohorts to assess clinical utility.

Treatment of community-acquired pneumonia in the elderly: the role of cefepime, a fourth-generation cephalosporin.
R. Grossman,D. A. Campbell,S. J. Landis,G. E. Garber,G. Murray,H. G. Stiver,R. Saginur,R. A. McIvor,J. Laforge,C. Rotstein,J. Dubois,M. Rivard,F. Boulerice +12 more
TL;DR: The clinical and microbiological efficacy of cefepime is similar to that of ceftriaxone in elderly patients with community-acquired pneumonia requiring hospitalization and is an appropriate choice for the treatment of community- Acquired respiratory tract infections in the elderly.

Causes of death during the first 12 years after spinal cord injury
TL;DR: Though some cause-specific mortality rates for spinal cord injured persons have declined dramatically, many remain substantially above normal and improved methods for preventing and managing these fatal complications must be developed.

Risk factors for Clostridium difficile carriage and C. difficile-associated diarrhea in a cohort of hospitalized patients

Risk Factors for Clostridium difficile Carriage and C. difficile-Associated Diarrhea in a Cohort of Hospitalized Patients
TL;DR: In this paper, a prospective cohort study of 399 consecutive patients in a single ward over an 11-month period was conducted to identify risk factors for nosocomial C. difficile colonization and diarrhea.
