Diverse inflammatory diseases, infections and malignancies are associated with wasting syndromes. In many of these conditions, the standards for diagnosis and treatment are lacking due to our limited understanding of the causative molecular mechanisms. H
The suggested surgical strategy is that acute infections associated with well-fixed prosthesis should be considered for debridement while chronic infections and/or unstable prosthetic devices should be replaced in 1 or 2 stages [3], [4]. The main causative pathogen, Staphylococcus spp., is ...

dependent variable, male sex, comorbid conditions (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, cancer, diabetes, chronic kidney failure, HIV infection, and immunosuppression), and longer ICU stay prior to the study day were independently associated with a higher risk of infection (eTable 7 in the ...

Diffuse and global glomerular C4d expression was found in 17.8%, mostly in biopsies with acute or subacute patterns, and was associated with a short delay between infection and renal biopsy compared to segmental and focal staining. After median follow-up of 13.2 months, 23.1% died, 46.2% ...
Ly6C+ cells displayed higher reactivity to IL-7c in vivo, as measured by increased expression of the division-associated antigen Ki-67 (Fig. 7D). Fig. 7: Ly6C+ CD8+ Tn cells preferentially home to lymph nodes and show improved homeostatic properties. A CD8+ T cells were magnetically ...
Conclusions and Relevance This study provides clinical data on the association between ACEIs/ARBs and outcomes in patients with hypertension hospitalized with COVID-19 infections, suggesting that ACEIs/ARBs are not associated with the severity or mortality of COVID-19 in such patients. These data ...
40 Patients may also be at risk of catheter-related infections, particularly those on prolonged courses of parenteral antibiotics or with indwelling vascular devices for chronic blood transfusion. This has been reported in adults and seems to be particularly associated with bone infections.41 The ...
associated with recognised variants of concern. Here we describe co-infection with the SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern Omicron and Delta in two epidemiologically unrelated adult patients with chronic kidney disease requiring maintenance haemodialysis. Both variants were co-circulating in the community at ...
