Risk of hospitalization due to pneumococcal disease in adults in Spain. The CORIENNE study.
Ruth Gil-Prieto,Raquel Pascual-García,Stefan Walter,Alejandro Álvaro-Meca,Ángel Gil-de-Miguel +4 more
TL;DR: Case-fatality rate among adult patients hospitalized with at least one underlying condition was significantly higher than among patients without comorbidities, which identified asplenia, chronic respiratory disease, chronic heart Disease, chronic renal disease, Chronic liver disease, Diabetes Mellitus and immunosuppression as risk groups for hospitalization.

Journal ArticleDOI
Role of non-conventional T lymphocytes in respiratory infections: the case of the pneumococcus.
TL;DR: The role of non-conventional T cells during respiratory infections is reviewed, with a particular focus on the encapsulated extracellular pathogen Streptococcus pneumoniae, the leading cause of bacterial pneumonia worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pulmonary defense mechanisms against pneumonia and sepsis.
TL;DR: Clearly, understanding the immune response in the lung is critical to the development of future therapeutics for pneumonia and sepsis, and this review concludes with novel discoveries in the Lung immune response, which may lead to future avenues of treatment.

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.
