Qualitative Analysis of the Efficacy of Probiotic Strains in the Prevention of Antibiotic-Associated Diarrhea
Antibiotic-associated diarrhea is often managed by the withdrawal of the culprit antibiotics or the administration of alternative antibiotics when a Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is suspected, an infection that tends...
Development of a Definition of Postacute Sequelae of SARS-CoV-2 Infection - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37278994/
A definition of PASC was developed based on symptoms in a prospective cohort study. As a first step to providing a framework for other investigations, iterative refinement that further incorporates...
Conclusions and Relevance: A definition of PASC was developed based on symptoms in a prospective cohort study. As a first step to providing a framework for other investigations, iterative refinement that further incorporates other clinical features is needed to support actionable definitions of PASC.
SARS-CoV-2 infection and viral fusogens cause neuronal and glial fusion that compromises neuronal activity - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37285437/
Numerous viruses use specialized surface molecules called fusogens to enter host cells. Many of these viruses, including the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), can infect the brain and...
We demonstrate that neuronal fusion is a progressive event, leads to the formation of multicellular syncytia, and causes the spread of large molecules and organelles. Last, using Ca2+ imaging, we show that fusion severely compromises neuronal activity. These results provide mechanistic insights into how SARS-CoV-2 and other viruses affect the...
Human Adenovirus Infection Causing Hyperinflammatory Syndrome Mimicking Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C): A Case Report
Transmission of human adenovirus (HAdV) infection and the associated clinical disease can be sporadic or epidemic and manifestations may range from mild infection to severe disease. HAdV has been seen...
The first dose of intravenous immunoglobulins (IVIG) was administered over the course of 48 hours and the baby required a second dose of IVIG as the fever failed to settle after the first dose. Within 24 hours of the second IVIG dose, defervescence occurred. His platelet count started to rise, and the baby developed thrombocytosis in the...
Highlights:
- Use of Dry Hydrogen Peroxide significantly reduced surface bioburden in a LTCF.
- DHP may be an effective environmental infection prevention solution in LTCF.
- DHP effectively reduces surface bioburden in a LTCF’s neurobehavioral unit.
- DHP effectively reduces volatile organic compound (VOC) levels in a LTCF.
