"Possible" cases took a position between these two extremes but tended more towards the "doubtful" cases. The implications of these findings for the interpretation of blood cultures with S. aureus are discussed.doi:10.1007/BF01640781R A Horvitz...
This study describes epidemiology of bloodstream infections and antimicrobial resistance rates in a secondary care hospital in Benin. Methods Blood cultures were sampled, according to predefined indications, in BacT/ALERT FA Plus and PF Plus (bioMérieux, Marcy-l’Etoile, France) blood culture bottles...
Delayed entry of blood culture bottles is frequent in consolidated laboratories. A retrospective study evaluated time from insertion to detection and total detection time as a function of preincubation time, and we prospectively looked for false negative
For the 55 patients (8%) who had both a positive blood culture and a positive LRT sample, we defined the index date as that closest to the date of chest X-ray or, in the absence of an X-ray (n=6), as the date of the first positive sample. X-ray findings were recorded from ...
Congenital CMV infection (cCMVi) affects 0.5–1% of all live births worldwide, making it the leading cause of sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) in childhood. The majority of infants with cCMVi have normal hearing at birth, but are at risk of developing late-onset SNHL. Currently, we lack...
(AUC) of 0.901. Internal fivefold cross-validation yielded an average AUC of 0.897 ± 0.137, while external model validation in an independent population-based cohort (N = 1608) achieved an AUC of 0.911. These 13 CpGs also provided accurate inference of current (average AUCcross...
In this study, we investigate the capacity of three different stem cell culture media to support USSCs in serum-free conditions; HEScGRO™, PSM and USSC growth mediumACF. Our findings demonstrate that USSCs do not grow in HEScGRO™ or PSM, but we were able to isolate, proliferate ...
An elaborated network of vessels is retained in culture in spite of the absence of blood flow. Application of calcein-AM either from the interstitial or from the luminal side resulted in different staining patterns indicating the maintenance of a barrier. By contrast, the ethidium derivative Mito...
Overall, these findings, using both RNA-Seq (Fig.2) and microarray platforms (Supplementary Figs.5and6), demonstrate distinct modular transcriptional patterns in the lungs from the infected/challenged mice reflective of T helper (TH)1-type responses (T. gondii, influenza, RSV; and more weaklyB...
Several of these map to genes associated with psychiatric disease and brain development. We attempted replication in The Generation R Study and could not replicate our results. Although our findings in ALSPAC suggest that maternal depression could be associated with cord blood DNA methylation the ...
