1.1 Current state of knowledge Food Protein- Induced Enterocolitis Syndrome (FPIES) is a food allergy with a prevalence of 0.34% and an incidence of 15.4 children per 100,000 per year. It is a non-IgE-mediated allergy, manifested by vomiting 1 to 4 hours after ingestion of the suspect food (major
Clinical microbiologists have developed a two-step algorithm in which an EIA or a RDT is first used to screen stools for the presence of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) antigen derived from C. difficile. The GDH antigen test is very specific (> 95%) and negatives could be reported right away, only
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is acknowledged as a highly effective treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). Usually single fecal infusion achieves satisfactory cure rates of recurrent CDI). However, several retrospective studies show that severe clinical picture of
The active metabolite of SGI-110 (2'-deoxy-5-azacytidylyl-(3'→5')-2'-deoxyguanosine sodium salt), a dinucleotide, is decitabine, an FDA-approved agent for the treatment of myelodysplastic syndromes. SGI-110 is resistant to modification by cytidine deaminase, a common pathway of decitabine metabolism
Patients with CDI benefit from the assessment and monitoring by an Infectious Diseases (ID) expert. Early intervention in patients diagnosed with a first episode of CDI would reduce the unnecessary use of antibiotics, improve prognosis by ensuring compliance with the clinical practice guidelines and
Six hundred pregnant women aged from 20 to 40 years old with singleton living healthy fetuses undergoing elective lower segment caesarean section (LSCS); defined as LSCS done before onset of labor pains, will be enrolled in the study. They will be randomized into three groups: group A in which 200
Polycythemia vera (PV) and essential thrombocythemia (ET) are classical Philadelphia-negative myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) that are characterized by an excess of cells in the peripheral blood, clonal bone marrow hyperplasia, and extramedullary hematopoiesis. The symptoms of these patients may
The Philadelphia chromosome-negative chronic myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPNs) are a group of hematopoietic stem cell malignancies that include polycythemia vera (PV), essential thrombocythemia (ET), and primary myelofibrosis (PMF). PV and ET can evolve into myelofibrosis, termed post PV/ET MF.
This study will initially enroll 12 subjects. Based on the relatively large experience with FMT reported to date, we anticipate a prompt and sustained response as determined by a cessation of fever, leukocytosis and diarrhea and a loss of abdominal discomfort in >8 (80%) of the subjects. If such a
Clostridium difficile is a major cause of nosocomial infection. When this organism proliferates in the colon, usually as a result of prior antibiotic therapy in a hospitalized or otherwise debilitated person, a variety of potentially serious consequences follow, such as fever, leukocytosis,
