Initial modelling and updates on cost effectiveness from the first 10 years of a spleen registry

Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, Volume 42, Issue 5, Page 463-466, October 2018., 2018
Abstract Objective: To validate our estimates from our original model and re‐evaluate the cost‐effectiveness of Spleen Australia, the Australian post‐splenectomy registry, using our original model with updated model parameters based on advances in the literature and experience of the registry over the past decade. Methods: We revisited a decision model

Conserved Patterns of Symmetric Inversion in the Genome Evolution of Bordetella Respiratory Pathogens

mSystems, 2019
Whooping cough (pertussis), primarily caused by Bordetella pertussis, has resurged in the United States, and circulating strains exhibit considerable chromosome structural fluidity in the form of rearrangement and deletion.

A real-time PCR assay with improved specificity for detection and discrimination of all clinically relevant Bordetella species by the presence and distribution of three Insertion Sequence elements

BMC Research Notes, 2011
Background In Dutch laboratories molecular detection of B. pertussis and B. parapertussis is commonly based on insertion sequences IS481 and IS1001, respectively. Both IS elements are more widely spread among Bordetella species. Both Bordetella holmesii,

Laboratory-based surveillance of pertussis using multitarget real-time PCR in Japan: evidence for Bordetella pertussis infection in preteens and teens

New Microbes and New Infections, 2015
Between January 2013 and December 2014, we conducted laboratory-based surveillance of pertussis using multitarget real-time PCR, which discriminates among Bordetella pertussis, Bordetella parapertussis, Bordetella holmesii and Mycoplasma pneumoniae.

Detection of Bordetella holmesii Using Bordetella pertussis IS 481 PCR Assay [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 2000
After our manuscript comparing the performance of PCR, culture, and direct fluorescent-antibody testing for Bordetella pertussis ([3][1]) went to press, we obtained six isolates of Bordetella holmesii for the purpose of testing with our B. pertussis IS 481 PCR assay.

Rapid PCR Detection of Mycoplasma hominis, Ureaplasma urealyticum, and Ureaplasma parvum

International Journal of Bacteriology, Volume 2013, Issue 1, 2013., 2013
Objective. We compared laboratory developed real‐time PCR assays for detection of Mycoplasma hominis and for detection and differentiation of Ureaplasma urealyticum and parvum to culture using genitourinary specimens submitted for M. hominis and Ureaplasma culture. Methods.

Bordetella holmesii: Still Emerging and Elusive 20 Years On

Microbiology Spectrum, 2016
ABSTRACT Since the first description of Bordetella holmesii in 1995, almost 100 publications have contributed to the increasing knowledge of this emerging bacterium. Although first reported to induce bacteremia mainly in immunocompromised patients, it has also been isolated in healthy persons and has shown

Treatments affecting splenic function as a risk factor for valvular heart disease in Childhood Cancer Survivors: A DCCSS‐LATER study

Pediatric Blood &Cancer, Volume 71, Issue 11, November 2024.
Abstract Purpose Splenectomy might be a risk factor for valvular heart disease (VHD) in adult Hodgkin lymphoma survivors. As this risk is still unclear for childhood cancer survivors (CCS), the aim of this study is to evaluate the association between treatments affecting splenic function (splenectomy and radiotherapy involving the spleen) and VHD in ...
