TL;DR: To evaluate the level of concurrence between radiologist reports and the diagnosis of community-acquired pneumonia in patients discharged from an emergency department (ED), a retrospective chart audit of patients discharged with a diagnosis of ‘pneumonia’ or ’possible pneumonia’ from the ED during a 2-year period was conducted.

TL;DR: Compared to PCR, Sp LAMP detected S. pneumoniae with higher analytical and clinical sensitivity and offers significant advantages for screening patients on a population basis and for diagnosis in clinical settings.
Journal ArticleDOI
Host-Pathogen Interactions in Gram-Positive Bacterial Pneumonia
TL;DR: In this review, pathogen virulence factors that drive lung infection and injury are discussed in relation to their associated host immune pathways in the context of acute lung injury in both primary and secondary infection.

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.

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.
