El paciente inmunodeprimido se define como aquel que presenta un déficit congénito o adquirido de su respuesta inmune, integrada por neutrófilos e inmunidad humoral y celu- lar. El sistema defensivo del niño puede verse ...
Validity of a Minimally Invasive Autopsy for Cause of Death Determination in Adults in Mozambique: An Observational Study
Background There is an urgent need to identify tools able to provide reliable information on the cause of death in low-income regions, since current methods (verbal autopsy, clinical records, and complete autopsies) are ...
Virstatin inhibits biofilm formation and motility of Acinetobacter baumannii
BACKGROUND: Acinetobacter baumannii has emerged as an opportunistic nosocomial pathogen causing infections worldwide. One reason for this emergence is due to its natural ability to survive in the hospital environment, which ...

Characterization of CTX-M-14 and CTX-M-15 producing Escherichia coli strains causing neonatal sepsis
Neonatal sepsis is a disease affecting newborns ≤1 month of age with clinical symptoms and positive blood cultures. The number of Escherichia coli strains causing neonatal sepsis resistant to the antibiotics used in the ...
Threshold Selection Criteria for Quantification of Lumbosacral Cerebrospinal Fluid and Root Volumes from MRI
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The high variability of CSF volumes partly explains the inconsistency of anesthetic effects, but may also be due to image analysis itself. In this study, criteria for threshold selection are ...
Síndrome hemorrágico neonatal
PROTOCOLOS TERAPÉUTICOS. SINDROME HEMORRAGICO NEONATAL. La hemorragia neonatal puede aparecer ante una gran variedad de situaciones. Es importante tener en cuenta que la volemia a esta edad es de 80 ml/Kg de lo que se ...
Insuficiencia cardíaca neonatal
PROTOCOLOS TERAPEUTICOS. INSUFICIENCIA CARDIACA NEONATAL. 1. CONCEPTO La insuficiencia cardíaca (IC) en el recién nacido suele manifestarse de forma global salvo en contadas ocasiones (ciertas cardiopatías congénitas). Las ...
Comparative activity of ozenoxacin and other quinolones in Staphylococcus aureus strains overexpressing the efflux pumps encoding genes mepA and norA.
Background To evaluate the activity of ozenoxacin (OZN) in Staphylococcus aureus strains overexpressing the efflux pump-encoding genes mepA and norA. Methods S. aureus NCTC-8325-1, S. aureus NCTC 8225-2 (overexpressing ...
Effectiveness, cost-utility, and benefits of a multicomponent therapy to improve the quality of life of patients with fibromyalgia in primary care: A mixed methods study protocol
Introduction: Fibromyalgia (FM) is a chronic condition characterized by chronic pain, fatigue and loss of function which significantly impairs quality of life. Although treatment of FM remains disputed, some studies point ...
Differential impact of ramRA mutations on both ramA transcription and decreased antimicrobial susceptibility in Salmonella Typhimurium.
OBJECTIVES: This study was focused on analysing the heterogeneity of mutations occurring in the regulators of efflux-mediated MDR in Salmonella Typhimurium. Moreover, the impact of such mutations on impairing the transcription ...
Pathology and telepathology methods in the child health and mortality prevention surveillance network
This manuscript describes the Child Health and Mortality Prevention Surveillance (CHAMPS) network approach to pathologic evaluation of minimally invasive tissue sampling (MITS) specimens, including guidelines for histopathologic ...
Characterisation of pellicles formed by acinetobacter baumannii at the air-liquidi interface
The clinical importance of Acinetobacter baumannii is partly due to its natural ability to survive in the hospital environment. This persistence may be explained by its capacity to form biofilms and, interestingly, A. ...
Genomic Evolution of Two Acinetobacter baumannii Clinical Strains from ST-2 Clones Isolated in 2000 and 2010 (ST-2_clon_2000 and ST-2_clon_2010)
Acinetobacter baumannii is a successful nosocomial pathogen due to its ability to persist in hospital environments by acquiring mobile elements such as transposons, plasmids, and phages. ...
Serotype, virulence profile, antimicrobial resistance and macrolide-resistance determinants in Streptococcus agalactiae isolates in pregnant women and neonates in Catalonia, Spain
Streptococcus agalactiae, or group B streptococci (GBS), is the main aetiological agent of early neonatal sepsis in developed countries. This microorganism belongs to the gastrointestinal tract microbiota wherefrom it can ...
Postmortem Interval and Diagnostic Performance of the Autopsy Methods
Postmortem studies, including the complete diagnostic autopsy (CDA) and the minimally invasive autopsy (MIA), an innovative approach to post-mortem sampling and cause of death investigation, are commonly performed within ...
Comparative in vitro antibacterial activity of ozenoxacin against Gram-positive clinical isolates
AIM: To compare the in vitro activity of the anti-impetigo agent, ozenoxacin, and other antimicrobial agents against Gram-positive clinical isolates from skin and soft tissue infections. MATERIALS & METHODS: Isolates were ...
Clinico-pathological discrepancies in the diagnosis of causes of death in adults in Mozambique: A retrospective observational study
BACKGROUND: Clinico-pathological discrepancies are more frequent in settings in which limited diagnostic techniques are available, but there is little information on their actual impact. AIM: We assessed the accuracy of ...
