1. Main Objectives:
1. Building a risk score model and decision tree algorithm with an acceptable certainty for early prediction of BSI or other invasive infections caused by CRKp in CRKp carriers.
2. Comparison of risk score model and decision tree algorithm in terms of sensitivity and specificity
Specific Objectives:
To evaluate the microbiome response to probiotic supplementation (with and without prebiotics) in under 6 months infants with severe acute malnutrition and to compare the microbiome response with healthy infants supplemented with probiotic.
Research Design and Methods:
Study
Infectious diarrhea caused by invasive bacteria (Shigella, Salmonella, Campylobacter) or a cytotoxic organism result ting in mucosal histologic damage and inflammation (Entamoeba histolytica). (Hedberg etal., 1994)
Giardia lamblia Transmission is via the faecal oral route or via ingestion of
Background and Significance
Clostridium difficile infections are of great concern for hospitals nationwide and C. difficile remains the most common nosocomial infection in North America. The majority of patients with C. difficile infection respond to orally administered metronidazole or vancomycin,
Irritable Bowel Syndrome(IBS) is a chronic relapsing disorder with unknown etiology characterized by abdominal pain and bowel habit changes without an organic pathology. Pathophysiology is not fully understood, bacterial overgrowth is one of the reasons. Because of that, use of drugs effective on
Patients and methods
A minimum sample of 100 patients will be included in the study. This is the result of a power calculation where a difference of 15 of global QoL is the primary end-point. All patients who fulfil the inclusion criteria and are offered allo-SCT with myeloablative condition are
Study Design and Funding Prospective, randomized controlled trial in collaboration with family pediatricians, who care for children up to 14 years of age in the Italian Public Health System. The study protocol was illustrated and discussed during 3 meetings. The research is not funded by any
1. Preparation of study catheters: Urinary catheters will be incubated in broth with E. coli 83972 for 48 hours prior to insertion into patients. Samples of broth will be removed after 24 hours and 48 hours of incubation to test for purity of the E. coli 83972. Study catheters will be inserted after
SLE is a chronic systemic autoimmune and inflammatory disease. Approximately 65% of patients develop SLE between 16 and 55 years of age, and it is 8-10 times more common in women. Overall prevalence is estimated at 40-50 per 100,000 individuals in the US. SLE typically includes periods of remission
