Parasite infection in a cell population with deaths and reinfections [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
We introduce a model of parasite infection in a cell population, where cells can be infected, either at birth through maternal transmission, from a contact with the parasites reservoir, or because of the parasites released in the cell medium after the lyses of infected cells.

Type A Quadricuspid Aortic Valve Infective Endocarditis Complicated by Multiple Aortocardiac Fistulae: Case Report and Brief Literature Review

Case Reports in Cardiology, 2017
Aortocardiac fistulae (ACF) are exceptionally due to infective endocarditis; they are usually congenital, posttraumatic, or complicate aortic dissection.

A sharp threshold for a modified bootstrap percolation with recovery [PDF]

Journal of Statistical Physics, Volume 157, Issue 3 (2014), pp 531-570, 2015
Bootstrap percolation is a type of cellular automaton on graphs, introduced as a simple model of the dynamics of ferromagnetism. Vertices in a graph can be in one of two states: `healthy' or `infected' and from an initial configuration of states, healthy vertices become infected by local rules.

PDE model for multi-patch epidemic models with migration and infection-age dependent infectivity [PDF]

arXiv, 2023
We study a stochastic epidemic model with multiple patches (locations), where individuals in each patch are categorized into three compartments, Susceptible, Infected and Recovered/Removed, and may migrate from one patch to another in any of the compartments.

Dermatologic manifestations of infective endocarditis [PDF]

Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2016
Despite advances in diagnosis and treatment, infective endocarditis still shows considerable morbidity and mortality rates. The dermatological examination in patients with suspected infective endocarditis may prove very useful, as it might reveal ...

Prophylaxis of Infective Endocarditis: A Cross Sectional Survey among Physician Members of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology

Acta Médica Portuguesa, 2022
Introduction: In the last decade, the downgrading of indications for antibiotic prophylaxis for infective endocarditis caused an uncertain impact on the incidence of this condition.

Outcomes of catheter ablation for ventricular tachycardia in patients with sarcoidosis: Insights from the National Inpatient Sample database (2002–2018)

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 33, Issue 12, Page 2585-2598, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction Data on utilization, major complications, and in‐hospital mortality of catheter ablation (CA) for sarcoidosis‐related ventricular tachycardia (VT) are limited. We sought to determine the outcomes of sarcoidosis‐related VT, and incidence and predictors of complications associated with the CA procedure.

Arthritis as a manifestation of infective endocarditis

Journal of V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University: Series Medicine, 2020
Introduction. Diagnosis of infective endocarditis is a challenging task for clinicians. The issue of early infective endocarditis detection is topical, since the mortality rate of this pathological condition is high; also, along with the classic symptoms

Evaluation of lead‐based echodensities on transesophageal echocardiogram in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices

Journal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 34, Issue 1, Page 7-13, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Introduction Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is recommended to rule out endocarditis in patients with cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIED). A lead‐based echodensity (LBE), however, is often found on TEE in patients with a CIED and may not represent an infection.
