Pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection [PDF]

open access: bronzeJournal of Medical Microbiology, 2000
The pathogenesis of pneumococcal infection is a complex interplay between pneumococcal virulence determinants and the host immune response. Molecular studies have considerably advanced our knowledge and understanding of the precise structures and functions of the different determinants and their pathogenic roles. This review describes the mechanisms by

THE CHEMOSEROTHERAPY OF EXPERIMENTAL PNEUMOCOCCAL INFECTION [PDF]

open access: bronzeJournal of Experimental Medicine, 1915
1. A single small dose of ethylhydrocuprein (optochin base), which by itself has practically no protective effect against experimental pneumococcal infection in mice, is capable of increasing the threshold value of the type homologous antipneumococcus serum at least fifty times. 2. This effect is proportionately many times greater than a

Cost‐effectiveness of second‐line therapies in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Hematology, Volume 98, Issue 1, Page 122-130, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Major options for second‐line therapy in adults with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) include splenectomy, rituximab, and thrombopoietin receptor agonists (TRAs). The American Society of Hematology guidelines recommend rituximab over splenectomy, TRAs over rituximab, and splenectomy or TRAs while noting a lack of evidence on the cost ...

Transmission factors and exposure to infections at work and invasive pneumococcal disease

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Industrial Medicine, Volume 66, Issue 1, Page 65-74, January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Working in close contacts with coworkers or the general public may be associated with transmission of invasive pneumococcal disease (IPD). We investigated whether crowded workplaces, sharing surfaces, and exposure to infections were factors associated with IPD.

COVID‐19 and myasthenia gravis: A review of neurological implications of the SARS‐COV‐2

open access: yesBrain and Behavior, Volume 12, Issue 12, December 2022., 2022
Abstract Introduction This review highlights the potential mechanisms of neuromuscular manifestation of COVID‐19, especially myasthenia gravis (MG). Methods An extensive literature search was conducted by two independent investigators using PubMed/MEDLINE and Google Scholar from its inception to December 2020. Results Exacerbations of clinical symptoms

Development and implementation of an aspiration pneumonia cause investigation algorithm

open access: yesThe Clinical Respiratory Journal, Volume 17, Issue 1, Page 20-28, January 2023., 2023
Aspiration pneumonia remains an underdiagnosed and unestablished diagnosis. We propose the use of an algorithm (developed based on the JRS guidelines) to enable adequate management of older adults with pneumonia. When implemented in an acute setting, the algorithm enhanced the diagnosis of causative conditions, swallow screening, and preventative ...
