Fatal Klebsiella pneumoniae Meningitis and Emphysematous Brain Abscess After Endoscopic Variceal Ligation in a Patient with Liver Cirrhosis and Diabetes Mellitus

Journal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2006
Procedure-related bacterial infections may complicate esophageal variceal ligation in cirrhosis patients. Here, we report a 58-year-old man with underlying diabetes and liver cirrhosis who developed Klebsiella pneumoniae meningitis and brain abscess with

Multimodal Imaging Reveals Rapid Catecholamine Uptake and Release by Neutrophils

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
We show that immune cells (neutrophils) synthesize, uptake, and store catecholamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine or adrenaline. They also release them in response to specific stimuli (serotonin), which we directly visualize using fluorescent nanosensors. We further demonstrate that catecholamines affect neutrophil functions (NETosis) and platelet

Designing Optimal Intervention Policies for Bacterial CNS Infection Dynamics With Encephalitic Progression: A Multicontrol Compartmental Model

Complexity
Central nervous system infections resulting from invasive bacterial pathogens are associated with a significant neurological burden. The ability of organisms such as Neisseria meningitidis and Streptococcus pneumoniae to invade the blood–brain barrier is

Prevalence of antimicrobial resistance in bacteria isolated from central nervous system specimens as reported by U.S. hospital laboratories from 2000 to 2002

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2004
Background Bacterial infections of the central nervous system, especially acute infections such as bacterial meningitis require immediate, invariably empiric antibiotic therapy.

Development of a Human 3D Immune‐Competent Neurovascular Model Enabling Time‐Resolved Monitoring of Neuroinflammatory Dynamics and Neuroimmune Interactions

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Neuroinflammation alters blood–brain barrier integrity and contributes to neurological disorders, yet existing models lack human immune complexity. This study presents a 3D, immune‐responsive platform that reconstructs key neurovascular components and enables real‐time monitoring.

Chemotherapy for bacterial infections of the central nervous system.

The Western journal of medicine, 1987
Over the past six years, many new agents have become available for the treatment of bacterial central nervous system (CNS) infections. Certain principles guide the use of these agents for CNS infections: first, an antimicrobial agent must be able to penetrate the CNS to be effective; second, the CNS is a "relatively immunoincompetent site" so that an ...

Bilateral SERS‐Microneedle Patch for Co‐Diagnosis of Diabetes Mellitus and Tuberculosis Comorbidity

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Our study introduced a U@mP@Au‐mediated bilateral SERS‐microneedle patch for analyzing glucose levels from ISF and sensitively detecting TB biomarkers from sputum, respectively. This integrated dual‐analyte detecting platform can be used for co‐diagnosis of diabetes mellitus (DM) and tuberculosis (TB) comorbidity, which was demonstrated in ex vivo ...
