Articulating spacerOutcomesPeriprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most devastating complication following total joint arthroplasty (TJA) and is posing a global healthcare challenge as the demand for TJA mounts. Two-stage exchange arthroplasty with the placement of antibiotic-loaded spacers has been...
(C) An AP radiograph of the left distal femur 6 months after reconstruction shows a temporary antibiotic-impregnated cement spacer that replaced the original APC owing to a deep infection. (D) Three years postoperatively, the patient’s AP radiograph of the left distal femur is shown. The ...
BACTERIOSTATIC An antibiotic that inhibits the growth of a bacterial population. microarrays could test several parameters simultane- ously (for example, testing for antigens and different classes of antibody), thus allowing pathology-driven testing instead of the pathogen-driven testing that is carried...
a prominent symptom is wheezing, a whistling noise in the chest during breathing. Treatments for asthma in older children might include controller medications that are taken using nebulizers, spacers, or inhalers. Your child’s healthcare provider can make a diagnosis...
The assessment and control of microbial contamination in health care facilities is presently a mandatory and vital part of strategies to prevent and control hospital-acquired infections. This study aims to assess the bioburden with two passive sampling methods (30 ventilations grids swabs and 16 elect...
While nucleic acid extraction was conducted on cell pellets originating from antibiotic/antimycotic-treated cultures of HoB4, the elimination of contaminating microorganisms was incomplete, as indicated by the presence of bacterial reads in the sequencing results (see below). ...

Adaptation of mycoplasmas to antimicrobial agents: Acholeplasma laidlawii extracellular vesicles mediate the export of ciprofloxacin and a mutant gene related to the antibiotic target Curcumin was found to induce bacterial FtsZ assembly and inhibit bacterial cytokinesis and even interrupt quorum sensing (QS...
(2) What is the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative aspirations performed on hips with antibiotic cement spacers using the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria, stratified by saline and nonlavage? (3) For hips with antibiotic spacers, what are the optimal thresholds for synovial fluid...
We asked: (1) For hips with antibiotic cement spacers, does saline lavage influence the diagnostic validity of aspirations? (2) What is the diagnostic accuracy of preoperative aspirations performed on hips with antibiotic cement spacers using the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria, ...
