Differences in compliance with Surviving Sepsis Campaign recommendations accord...

Introduction Higher compliance with Surviving Sepsis Campaign (SSC) recommendations has been associated with lower mortality. The authors evaluate differences in compliance with SSC 6-hour bundle according to hospital entrance time (day versus night) and its impact on hospital mortality. Methods Prospective cohort study of all patients with community-acquired severe sepsis admitted to the intensive care unit o...

Differences in microbiological profile between community-acquired, healthcare-a...

INTRODUCTION: Microbiological profiles were analysed and compared for intra-abdominal, urinary, respiratory and bloodstream infections according to place of acquisition: community-acquired, with a separate analysis of healthcare-associated, and hospital-acquired. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Prospective cohort study performed at a university tertiary care hospital over 1 year. Inclusion criteria were meeting the Cente...

The impact of healthcare-associated infection on mortality: failure in clinical...

Purpose To understand if clinicians can tell apart patients with healthcare-associated infections (HCAI) from those with community-acquired infections (CAI) and to determine the impact of HCAI in the adequacy of initial antibiotic therapy and hospital mortality. Methods One-year prospective cohort study including all consecutive infected patients admitted to a large university tertiary care hospital. Result...

Additional Risk factors for infection by multidrug-resistant pathogens in healt...

BACKGROUND: There is a lack of consensus regarding the definition of risk factors for healthcare-associated infection (HCAI). The purpose of this study was to identify additional risk factors for HCAI, which are not included in the current definition of HCAI, associated with infection by multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens, in all hospitalized infected patients from the community. METHODS: This 1-year prospect...

Reducing mortality in severe sepsis with the implementation of a core 6-hour bu...

Abstract INTRODUCTION: To evaluate the impact of compliance with a core version of the Surviving Sepsis Campaign 6-hour bundle on 28 days mortality. METHODS: Cohort, multi-centre, prospective study on community-acquired sepsis (CAS). RESULTS: Seventeen intensive care units (ICU) entered the study. Over a one year period, 4,142 patients were enrolled in the study. Of the 897 (24%) admitted with CAS, 778 (87%) ...

Encontro do parasitóide Tachinaephagus zealandicus (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Ency...

This study reports the occurrence of Tachinaephagus zealandicus (Ashmead) (Hymenoptera: Encyrtidae) parasitizing pupae of Chrysomya megacephala (Fabricius) (Diptera: Calliphoridae) associated with a decomposing rat carcass in a secondary wood area in Campinas, SP. The parasitism rate was 91.8%.

Genetic potential for an acute inflammatory response in IgA glomerulonephritis ...

Mice selected on the basis of an acute inflammatory response (AIR) can provide information about the immunopathological mechanisms of glomerulonephritis. We studied the differences between mice selected for a maximal AIR (AIRmax that attract more polymorphonuclear cells to the site of injury) or a minimal AIR (AIRmin that attract more mononuclear cells) in an experimental model of IgA nephropathy in order to in...
