Evidence of household transfer of ESBL-/pAmpC-producing Enterobacteriaceae between humans and dogs - a pilot study

BACKGROUND: Extended-spectrum cephalosporin-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (ESCRE) are an increasing healthcare problem in both human and veterinary medicine. The spread of ESCRE is complex with multiple reservoirs and different transmission routes. The aim of this study was to investigate if ESCRE carriage in dogs is more prevalent in households with a known human carrier, compared to households wh

Postherpetic neuralgia, diabetic neuropathy, and trigeminal neuralgia - Chronic peripheral neuropathic pain in 58,480 rural Italian primary care patients

INTRODUCTION: Chronic peripheral neuropathic pain (CPNP) is a condition due to peripheral nervous system diseases or injury, but its prevalence is unknown in Italian primary care.AIM: The aim of this study is to assess the prevalence of CPNP in a rural primary care area in Northern Italy.MATERIALS AND METHODS: A multicenter audit study was carried out in a rural area in Northern Italy with 113 par

Pre- and postoperative information needs

The purpose of this study was to investigate patients' need for pre- and postoperative information. Fifty patients admitted to open cholecystectomy were included in the study, 37 women and 13 men. Their median age was 49.5 years, ranging 17-76. The patients answered one questionnaire both at admission and at discharge. In the questionnaire, 48 statements had to be answered on a five-point, Likert

Test administrator effects on cognitive performance in a longitudinal study of ageing

In longitudinal studies, changes in participants’ cognitive performances can partly be attributed to variations in the testing situation (testing specific factors), such as, different test administrators or different testing environments. Focusing on test administrator influence, testing specific factors were examined in a Swedish longitudinal study of ageing. Test scores from 6,686 examinations r

Periprosthetic low-grade hip infections. Erythrocyte sedimentation rate and C-reactive protein in 23 cases

We followed 23 patients from the primary total hip arthroplasty to revision for a bacteriologically proven deep infection with a low virulent organism. The median time to revision was 14 (4-65) months. During this period, the maximum ESR value was median 50 (22-110) mm and the maximum CRP value was 35 (9-95) mg/L. 25 of the 98 CRP values recorded were normal (< 9 mg/L) and 22/89 ESR values were be

Early subsidence of the Exeter femoral stem within the cement mantle in primary arthroplasties and in revisions using impacted allografts and cement : A roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis

In five primary hip arthroplasties and in six revisions with impacted, morselized allografts and cement, roentgen stereophotogrammetric analysis (RSA) was planned to be used to measure the subsidence of the polished and double-tapered Exeter femoral stem, relative both to the cement and the femur. Only in two primary arthroplasties and in two revisions could the tantalum markers be adequately imag

Junctional Adhesion Molecule 2 Represents a Subset of Hematopoietic Stem Cells with Enhanced Potential for T Lymphopoiesis

The distinct lineage potential is a key feature of hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) heterogeneity, but a subset of HSCs specialized for a single lymphoid compartment has not been identified. Here we report that HSCs expressing junctional adhesion molecule 2 (Jam2) at a higher level (Jam2high HSCs) have a greater T cell reconstitution capacity. Jam2high HSCs are metabolically dormant but preferentiall
