Journal ArticleDOI
Semi-quantitative analysis of Streptococcus pneumoniae urinary antigen: kinetics of antigen titers and severity of diseases.
Kazuhiro Tateda,Emiko Kusano,Tetsuya Matsumoto,Kazuhiro Kimura,Koh Uchida,Koichiro Nakata,Keizo Yamaguchi +6 more
TL;DR: Qualitative analysis of urinary antigen may be a useful indicator for severity of disease and course of S. pneumoniae pneumonia and kinetics of antigen titer determination in urine and serum are analyzed, which may be crucial not only for diagnostic measures, but also may provide a better understanding of the pathogenesis of S.
Journal ArticleDOI
Regulation of phagocyte lifespan in the lung during bacterial infection.
TL;DR: Apoptosis clearly plays a critical role in reconciling the balance between the need to recruit phagocytes to maintain bacterial sterility and the requirement to clear recruited cells from the alveolar units to preserve physiologic gas exchange, which must be finely tuned to ensure survival during bacterial infection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long-term impact of postoperative pneumonia after curative gastrectomy for elderly gastric cancer patients.
Satoshi Suzuki,Shingo Kanaji,Yoshiko Matsuda,Masashi Yamamoto,Hiroshi Hasegawa,Kimihiro Yamashita,Taro Oshikiri,Takeru Matsuda,Yasuo Sumi,Tetsu Nakamura,Yoshihiro Kakeji +10 more
TL;DR: A limited lymphadenectomy during curative resection should be considered to prevent postoperative pneumonia in frail elderly patients with ASA score 3 to prevent long‐term survival of elderly gastric cancer patients.

Office pediatrics: current issues in lower respiratory infections in children.
Jean E. Klig,Nikhil B. Shah +1 more
TL;DR: General strategies for the prevention of influenza infection are expanded to include many infants and young children, and are projected to significantly reduce morbidity and mortality from this key LRI pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Severe cytomegalovirus (CMV) community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) in a nonimmunocompromised host
TL;DR: This case should remind clinicians that influenza and adenovirus are diagnostic considerations in patients presenting with severe CAP with diffuse bilateral interstitial infiltrates accompanied by severe hypoxemia in normal hosts.

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.
