Streamlining antibiotic use in community acquired pneumonia: A quality improvement initiative

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Evidence suggests a 3‐day total duration and early transition to oral therapy is safe in hospitalized patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP)—though such care is not standard in the United States. To implement these evidence‐based practices, a multidisciplinary group led by a hospitalist and antimicrobial stewardship ...

Trends in hospitalizations for vaccine‐preventable diseases in the United States from 2014 to 2024

Journal of Hospital Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Background and Objectives Vaccination rates have declined in recent years, resulting in outbreaks of vaccine‐preventable diseases (VPDs) among children. We aimed to evaluate VPD hospitalization rates from 2014 to 2024 and to report associated trends in outcomes including intensive care utilization, mortality, readmissions, and costs.

Surrogate measure of gut blood flow via superior mesenteric circulation on ultrasound in adults who underwent esophagectomy: A descriptive cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Early enteral nutrition is recommended for critically ill patients. However, feeding an ischemic gastrointestinal tract with enteral nutrition may lead to gut necrosis. Although gut tolerance of enteral nutrition is assessed by various symptoms, none of them provide conclusive evidence of gut ischemia. We investigated the blood flow

Association between specialized nutrition support and 90‐day mortality relative to standard of care in malnourished adults with decompensated cirrhosis: A retrospective cohort study

Journal of Parenteral and Enteral Nutrition, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Malnutrition is common among patients with decompensated liver cirrhosis and linked to poor prognosis. Guidelines recommend intensified nutrition support e.g. parenteral nutrition, but evidence regarding safety and effectiveness is scarce. We aimed to investigate the impact of nutrition support, specifically parenteral nutrition, on

Salivary microbiota and clinical periodontal measures predicting cardiometabolic disease mortality: A nationwide survey

Journal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Although periodontitis and oral microbiota are linked to cardiometabolic diseases (CMD), it is unclear if they similarly predict CMD mortality. We compared the predictive ability of salivary microbiota and periodontal disease measures for CMD mortality in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES).

Admission Plasma Lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein, Procalcitonin, and Lactate for Early Identification of Nosocomial Infection in Cirrhotic Patients With Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding: A Retrospective Analysis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aimed to assess whether admission plasma lipopolysaccharide‐binding protein (LBP), procalcitonin (PCT), and lactate could improve detection of nosocomial infection in cirrhotic patients presenting with upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB).

Effects of Mesenchymal Stem Cell‐Derived Exosomes on Lung Inflammation in a Murine Aspiration Model

The Laryngoscope, EarlyView.
This study assessed the effect of intravenous MSC‐derived exosomes on inflammatory lung injury in a rat model of LPS aspiration. Compared with LPS alone, MSC exosome treatment reduced histologic lung injury overall (significant group effect p = 0.02; linear trend p = 0.006) and significantly lowered Tnf gene expression on qRT‐PCR (p < 0.05).

Targeting the Dynamic Susceptibility Window: Time‐Sensitive Photodynamic Synergy With Antibiotics Against Streptococcus spp

Lasers in Surgery and Medicine, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Evaluated the antimicrobial efficacy of curcumin‐mediated photodynamic inactivation (PDI) against both sensitive and resistant strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae and Streptococcus pyogenes, as well as its potential to enhance antibiotic effects (amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, erythromycin).
