Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for horizontal gene transfer between Chlamydophila pneumoniae and Chlamydia phage.
Anne G. Rosenwald,Bradley Murray,Theodore Toth,Ramana Madupu,Alexandra Kyrillos,Gaurav Arora +5 more
TL;DR: Using sequence information found in GenBank, considerable evidence is found for DNA sequences related to genes found in bacteriophages of the Microviridae family not only in a variety of prokaryotic but also eukaryotic species.

The association between serum magnesium levels and community-acquired pneumonia 30-day mortality
TL;DR: Hypomagnesemia and hypermagnesemia on admission were associated with an increased rate of 30-day mortality among adult patients hospitalized with CAP, and magnesium levels within the upper normal limits wereassociated with higher mortality.

TL;DR: The state-of-the-art Harris hawks optimization (HHO) algorithm with an improved objective function is proposed and applied to optimize the hyperparameters of the ML algorithms, namely HHO-based eXtreme gradient boosting, light gradient boosting (HHOLGB), categorical boosting ( HHOCAT), random forest (HHORF) and support vector classifier (HHOSVC).

Microorganisms associated with respiratory syncytial virus pneumonia in the adult population
Marion Jeannoel,Gerard Lina,Jean-Philippe Rasigade,Bruno Lina,F. Morfin,Jean Sebastien Casalegno +5 more
TL;DR: In conclusion, there did not observe major differences in the epidemiology of bacterial superinfections in RSV-positive pneumonia compared to reports on post-influenza pneumonia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relationship between antibiotic resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae and that in Haemophilus influenzae: evidence for common selective pressure.
Mark E. Jones,James A. Karlowsky,Renée S. Blosser-Middleton,Ian A. Critchley,Clyde Thornsberry,Daniel F. Sahm +5 more
TL;DR: Data from a recent international surveillance study noting significant interspecies relationships between resistance in Streptococcus pneumoniae and Haemophilus influenzae suggests a response to a common selective pressure with increases in resistance likely driven independently of each other.

Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality, morbidity, and psychosocial outcomes of persons spinal cord injured more than 20 years ago.
Gale G. Whiteneck,Susan Charlifue,Hans L. Frankel,M H Fraser,B P Gardner,Kenneth A. Gerhart,K R Krishnan,Robert R. Menter,I Nuseibeh,D J Short,John Russell Silver +10 more
TL;DR: Declines with age were found in measures of handicap and life satisfaction, but three quarters of those interviewed reported generally good health and rated their current quality of life as either good or excellent.
Journal ArticleDOI
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
TL;DR: C. difficile was a common Nosocomial infection on this ward, resulting in asymptomatic carriage more often than diarrhea and accounting for one-fifth of all cases of nosocomial diarrhea.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

Successful control of Clostridium difficile infection in an elderly care unit through use of a restrictive antibiotic policy.
Cliodna A. M. McNulty,Margaret Logan,Ian P. Donald,Debbie Ennis,Denise Taylor,R. N. Baldwin,Mira Bannerjee,Keith A. V. Cartwright +7 more
TL;DR: The use of narrow-spectrum antibiotics for hospital treatment of community-acquired infections in the elderly should be encouraged.
