Synthesis of novel naphthalene-heterocycle hybrids with potent antitumor, anti-inflammatory and antituberculosis activities
Mohamed A. Abozeid,Aya Atef El-Sawi,Mohamed Abdelmoteleb,Mohamed Abdelmoteleb,Hanem M. Awad,Marwa M. Abdel-Aziz,A. H. Abdel‐Rahman,El-Sayed I. El-Desoky +7 more
TL;DR: Novel naphthalene hybrids with different heterocyclic scaffolds were efficiently synthesized via tandem reactions of 3-formyl-4H-benzo[h]chromen-4-one 1 with different nucleophilic reagents, and many compounds revealed remarkable activities.

Ki-Ho Park,Oh-Hyun Cho,Sang-Oh Lee,Sang-Ho Choi,Yang Soo Kim,Jun Hee Woo,Mi-Na Kim,Dae Ho Lee,Cheolwon Suh,Dae-Young Kim,Jung-Hee Lee,Je-Hwan Lee,Kyoo-Hyung Lee,Sung-Han Kim +13 more
TL;DR: Attempted catheter salvage without antibiotic lock therapy was successful in 60% of the patients with Hickman catheter-related SAB, and external signs of catheter infection and methicillin resistance were independent risk factors forCatheter salvage failure.

Comparison of outcomes in patients with methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia who are treated with β-lactam vs vancomycin empiric therapy: a retrospective cohort study
Davie Wong,Titus Wong,Titus Wong,Marc G. Romney,Marc G. Romney,Victor C. M. Leung,Victor C. M. Leung +6 more
TL;DR: Empiric therapy with β-lactams was not associated with differences in all-cause mortality, recurrent infection, microbiological cure or hospital length-of-stay compared to vancomycin, andVancomYcin monotherapy may be appropriate for the empiric treatment of MSSA bacteremia if definitive therapy with cloxacillin or cefazolin can be initiated within 3 days.

Vancomycin for treatment of invasive, multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus infections
Scott D Pope,Andrew M. Roecker +1 more
TL;DR: Important issues surrounding its clinical application remain include the need for multiple daily dosing, intravenous administration, requirements for serum concentration monitoring, increasing resistance in vitro, modest efficacy rates and (less frequently) treatment-limiting adverse effects.

CDC definitions for nosocomial infections, 1988
TL;DR: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) developed a new set of definitions for surveillance of nosocomial infections as mentioned in this paper, which combine specific clinical findings with results of laboratory and other tests that include recent advances in diagnostic technology.

TL;DR: The overall predictive accuracy of the first-day APACHE III equation was such that, within 24 h ofICU admission, 95 percent of ICU admissions could be given a risk estimate for hospital death that was within 3 percent of that actually observed.

New criteria for diagnosis of infective endocarditis : Utilization of specific echocardiographic findings. Duke Endocarditis Service
TL;DR: Application of the proposed new criteria increases the number of definite diagnoses and should be useful for more accurate diagnosis and classification of patients with suspected endocarditis and provide better entry criteria for epidemiologic studies and clinical trials.
