Long‐term outcomes of haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation with antithymocyte globulin–based myeloablative conditioning in pediatric refractory or relapsed non‐Hodgkin lymphoma

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Single‐center retrospective data showed that ATG‐based myeloablative haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantation provides durable remission and favorable long‐term survival in children with refractory/relapsed non‐Hodgkin lymphoma, achieving high engraftment rates, low relapse incidence, and acceptable toxicity.

How do hospital professionals involved in a randomised controlled trial perceive the value of genotyping vs. PCR-ribotyping for control of hospital acquired C. difficile infections? [PDF]

, 2014
Background: Despite scientific advances in typing of C. difficile strains very little is known about how hospital staff use typing results during periods of increased incidence (PIIs). This qualitative study, undertaken alongside a randomised controlled

Catechins and Their Effect on the Gut Microbiome in Health and Cancer

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Catechins are a group of flavonoids found primarily in green tea, fruits, and berries; they play a significant role in the modulation of the gut microbiota, thereby having an impact on gut health and cancer prevention. Owing to their low bioavailability, catechins are transformed by the gut microbiota into various bioactive metabolites such as

Epidemiology of Clostridium Difficile Infection [PDF]

Deutsches Ärzteblatt international, 2015
According to L¨bbert et al., the incidence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in Germany is 5 to 20 cases per 100 000 persons (1). It can be assumed that this figure is much too low. An ecological study based on routine data identified a total of 9874 cases hospitalized because of CDI, as well as further 26 341 cases with CDI as a concomitant ...

Nonthermal plasma approaches for combating implant‐associated infections: A compendious review

VIEW, EarlyView.
Implant‐associated infections pose serious clinical challenges. Non‐thermal plasma (NTP) modifications overcome this bottleneck in distinct ways relative to traditional sterilization methods. Gas‐phase plasmas generate highly energetic species, UV radiation and reactive oxygen/nitrogen species (RONS), which alter the implant surface properties.

The effect of the infection Clostridium difficile on the rehabilitation

Journal of Health Sciences, 2014
Introduction: Clostridium difficile is the cause of the post antibiotic colitis. This anaerobe, sporogenous, gram-positive bacteria is most often recognized as the cause of the nosocomial diarrhea.

Treatment of Clostridium difficile infection [PDF]

Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy, 1998
The treatment options for Clostridium difficile infection remain limited, although promising agents are currently being assessed. Metronidazole is the first-line drug of choice for those patients requiring specific anti-C. difficile treatment. Much of the interest in alternative therapies has centred on the difficult management issues posed by patients

Strategies for enhancing sensitivity in lateral flow assays

VIEW, EarlyView.
Lateral flow assays (LFAs) are essential for cost‐effective, rapid point‐of‐care diagnostics. However, conventional colourimetric LFAs often lack the sensitivity required for low‐abundance biomarkers. This review evaluates six enhancement strategies: flow modulation, sample preconcentration, advanced reporters, chemical signal amplification, structural

Patient Safety and Organisational Accountability: Reassessing Criminal Liability Frameworks in Healthcare

The Modern Law Review, EarlyView.
Serious harm in healthcare often results from systemic failures, yet criminal accountability remains largely addressed through homicide law, gross negligence manslaughter and health‐and‐safety offences, frameworks that emphasise individual culpability and are ill‐suited to addressing organisational failings.
