Significance of anaerobes and oral bacteria in community-acquired pneumonia. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2013
BACKGROUND: Molecular biological modalities with better detection rates have been applied to identify the bacteria causing infectious diseases. Approximately 10-48% of bacterial pathogens causing community-acquired pneumonia are not identified using ...

Epidemiology of community acquired pneumonia [PDF]

Paediatrics and Child Health, 2012
Despite efforts in prevention worldwide including recent advances in vaccine therapy, childhood community acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality both in the developed and the developing world. Traditionally, qualifying the aetiology of CAP proved to be fraught with challenges particularly due to low yields from blood ...

Seven questions for a student's donor: Evaluation of a fictional conversation lends insight into professional identity formation in medical students

Anatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract Reflection exercises have been used within anatomy education to evaluate empathy, humanism, and professionalism. A typical reflection exercise consists of directed prompts to guide the student's reflection as it relates to the experience and/or research question.

The evaluation of next‐generation sequencing assisted pathogenic detection in immunocompromised hosts with pulmonary infection: A retrospective study

The Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 16, Issue 12, Page 793-801, December 2022., 2022
In this study, we discovered that next‐generation sequencing (NGS)‐assisted pathogenic detection may improve detection efficiency and is associated with better clinical outcomes in immunocompromised pulmonary‐infected patients with radiographic evidence of bilateral diffuse lesions.

Diagnostic Performance of Plasma SP-D, KL-6, and CC16 in Acutely Hospitalised Patients Suspected of Having Community-Acquired Pneumonia—A Diagnostic Accuracy Study

Diagnostics
Community-acquired pneumonia is a common cause of acute hospitalisation. Identifying patients with community-acquired pneumonia among patients suspected of having the disease can be a challenge, which causes unnecessary antibiotic treatment.

Factors influencing physicians’ antimicrobial prescribing decisions: A systematic review of qualitative studies

British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Inappropriate and overuse of antimicrobials is increasing antimicrobial resistance. Understanding physicians' antimicrobial decision‐making is essential for developing interventions to optimize prescribing. The aim of this review was to identify the factors that influence physicians' antimicrobial prescribing decisions.

N-acetylcysteine improves oxidative stress and inflammatory response in patients with community acquired pneumonia

Medicine, 2018
Oxidative stress is considered to be part of the pathogenic mechanism for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) and is closely linked to inflammation. Attenuation of oxidative stress would be expected to reduce pulmonary damage. Antioxidants have been found

Severe community-acquired pneumonia [PDF]

BJA Education, 2016
### Key points Severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains a frequent reason for admission to hospital. It is the most common cause of septic shock requiring escalation to treatment within an intensive care unit (ICU). Despite earlier recognition and recent advances in supportive care, severe CAP is still associated with substantial morbidity ...
