INTRODUCTION AND EVIDENCE. Native vertebral osteomyelitis (NVO) is mainly caused by hematogenous spread from a distant infection focus (e.g. respiratory, urogenital, intestinal tract, oral cavity, skin or intravascular device), typically involving the intervertebral disc space and adjacent vertebral
Approximately 60% of diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) are complicated by infection. In more than two-thirds of the cases, infection is the main cause for major lower limb amputation in diabetic patients with foot ulceration. Infections may complicate DFUs in both neuropathic and ischemic ulcers.
However,
Background and rationale:
Resistance to penicillin was discovered in Staphylococcus aureus in the mid-1940s, soon after the introduction of penicillin as a therapeutic agent into clinical practice. The emergence of penicillin resistant S. aureus (PRSA) was widely encountered in hospitals thereafter,
Epidemiology, clinical manifestations and prognosis Chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis (CRMO) is an immune-mediated chronic inflammatory self- limiting disease with non-suppurative inflammation involving one or multiple bone foci. The disease occurs primarily in children and adolescents. The
Study Methods:
Study Population A 60 adult (aged >18 years) patients were included with a diagnosis of acute thromboembolic ischemic stroke within 48 hours after onset, according to clinical picture and imaging findings by brain computed tomography (CT) without evidence of hemorrhage, upon admission
More than 40% of under-five deaths globally occur in the neonatal period, resulting in 3.1 million newborn death each year.
The majority of these deaths usually occur in low income countries . On the other hand, the survivors of neonatal sepsis are vulnerable to short- and long term
Diabetic foot ulcers constitute an important medical problem in the patients with diabetes mellitus. The epidermal growth factor (EGF) stimulates the proliferation of fibroblasts, keratinocytes and vessel endothelial cells, which contributes to its healing properties.In previous phase I-III clinical
This was a prospective observational cohort study, conducted between January 2011 and December 2015 (5 years) at Sisli Hamidiye Etfal Hospital, a tertiary care university-affiliated medical center in Istanbul. Written informed consent was obtained from the parents of all infants enrolled in the
This study is a combination of a diagnostic and an intervention study. In a previous study, our research team constructed a decision tree, based on signs and symptoms, to identify serious infections in acutely ill children in primary care. This decision tree had an excellent sensitivity of 97% for
Acne vulgaris is an under-studied common genetic disease with tremendous economic consequences. Acne vulgaris is one of the most common skin conditions treated by doctors. It affects 40-50 million people in the USA, with prevalence as high as 85% (recent study from Iran was 93%) in teenagers; 18% of

1.1. Problem of surgical site infection after sternotomy Sternal osteomyelitis and poststernotomy mediastinitis is a severe and life-treating complication after the cardiac surgery. The incidence of sternal osteomyelitis ranges from 1% to 3% (1, 2) with a high mortality rate from 19%
Over the last 3 years, the McShane group in Oxford have established a clinical trial programme to evaluate the safety and immunogenicity of this BCG prime-MVA85A boost vaccination strategy in a series of Phase I studies in the UK.
To date, in Oxford, the safety and immunogenicity of MVA85A (dose
Bacteremia is a serious manifestation of Staphylococcus aureus infection with an attributable mortality as high as 25% in MRSA bacteremia. More than a third of patients end up with complications such as endocarditis, osteomyelitis or pneumonia.
Overall the outcome of patients with respect to
Primary Efficacy Variable The primary variable is the number of serious, acute, bacterial infections/subject/year, and it will be based on the total of all of the following events as defined by the FDA: bacterial Pneumonia, bacteremia/sepsis, osteomyelitis/septic arthritis, visceral abscess, and
Staphylococcus aureus has been recognized as an important community - acquired and nosocomial pathogen. Because it is a common cause of osteomyelitis, endocarditis, and meningitis, S. aureus infections lead to considerable morbidity and mortality. The main objective of this study will be to test the
