Confidence bounds for the sensitivity lack of a less specific diagnostic test, without gold standard [PDF]

arXiv, 2010
We consider the problem of comparing two diagnostic tests based on a sample of paired test results without true state determinations, in cases where the second test can reasonably be assumed to be at least as specific as the first. For such cases, we provide two informative confidence bounds: A lower one for the prevalence times the sensitivity gain of

Magnetite Micro/Nanorobots for Efficient Targeted Alleviation of Inflammatory Bowel Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Improved reactive oxygen species scavenging capacities of functionalized micro/nanorobots (MNRs) are useful for the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). MNRs can break the harmful bacteria in IBD, thereby eliminating inflammation and restoring the intestinal barrier function.

Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin induces blood brain barrier permeability via caveolae-dependent transcytosis and requires expression of MAL. [PDF]

, 2019
Clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin (ETX) is responsible for causing the economically devastating disease, enterotoxaemia, in livestock. It is well accepted that ETX causes blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability, however the mechanisms involved in this

EFFECT OF TEMPERATURE AND TOTAL SOLIDS CONCENTRATION ON HYDROGEN PRODUCTION FROM RICE WASTE

Pakistan Journal of Agriculture, Agricultural Engineering & Veterinary Sciences, 2015
A study was conducted to ascertain the effect of temperature and total solids (TS) on the hydrogen production potential of rice waste. This study used sludge as the source of Clostridium in equal proportion with rice waste on total solid basis.

Comparison of the Hospital-Acquired Clostridium difficile Infection Risk of Using Proton Pump Inhibitors versus Histamine-2 Receptor Antagonists for Prophylaxis and Treatment of Stress Ulcers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Gut and Liver, 2017
Background/AimsAlthough proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) have been widely used for the prevention and treatment of stress gastric ulcers in hospital settings, there are concerns that PPIs increase the risk of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).

Modelling diverse sources of Clostridium difficile in the community: importance of animals, infants and asymptomatic carriers [PDF]

arXiv, 2018
Clostridium difficile infections (CDIs) affect patients in hospitals and in the community, but the relative importance of transmission in each setting is unknown. We developed a mathematical model of C. difficile transmission in a hospital and surrounding community that included infants, adults, and transmission from animal reservoirs.

Bioinspired Claw‐Engaged Adhesive Microparticles Armed with γGC Alleviate Ulcerative Colitis via Targeted Suppression of Macrophage Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
γGC deficiency in ulcerative colitis drives macrophage ferroptosis‐mediated inflammation. Claw‐engaged microparticles armed with γGC (γGC‐MPs) enhance lesion targeting, promoting localized γGC release and tissue uptake. On the cover, Monkey King (Macrophages) was bound by the Immortal‐Binding Rope and subsequently sealed beneath the Five‐Fingered ...

Health outcomes of statin users compared to non-users with Clostridium difficile infection [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the most common cause of nosocomial diarrhea, and the primary cause of healthcare-associated infections in the United States. Statins have beneficial effects independent of their lipid-lowering effects;

Epidemiology of Clostridioides difficile Infections in Germany, 2010–2019: A Review from Four Public Databases

Infectious Diseases and Therapy, 2023
Introduction Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) is a recognized global threat especially for vulnerable populations. It is of particular concern to healthcare providers as it is found in both hospital and community settings, with severe courses ...

Clostridium-difficile-Kolitis [PDF]

Der Gastroenterologe, 2014
Die (rezidivierende) Clostridium-difficile-Infektion (CDI) stellt bereits jetzt ein substanzielles Problem dar, sind mit ihr doch nicht nur eine beachtenswerte Morbiditat und Mortalitat assoziiert, sondern auch gesundheitsokonomische und logistische Herausforderungen.
