Establishment of a rat model of portal vein ligation combined with in situ splitting. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Portal vein ligation (PVL) combined with in situ splitting (ISS) has been shown to induce remarkable liver regeneration in patients. The purpose of this study was to establish a model of PVL+ISS in rats for exploring the possible mechanisms ...

Associated Liver Partition and Portal Vein Ligation (ALPPS) vs Selective Portal Vein Ligation (PVL) for Staged Hepatectomy in a Rat Model. Similar Regenerative Response?

PLoS ONE, 2015
Associated liver partition and portal vein ligation for staged hepatectomy (ALPPS) is a two-stage hepatectomy technique which can be associated with a hypertrophic stimulus on the future liver remnant (FLR) stronger than other techniques–such as portal ...

Staphylococcus aureus panton-valentine leukocidin is a very potent cytotoxic factor for human neutrophils. [PDF]

PLoS Pathogens, 2010
The role of the pore-forming Staphylococcus aureus toxin Panton-Valentine leukocidin (PVL) in severe necrotizing diseases is debated due to conflicting data from epidemiological studies of community-associated methicillin-resistant S.

High prevalence of methicillin resistance and PVL genes amongStaphylococcus aureus isolates from the nares and skin lesions of pediatric patients with atopic dermatitis

Brazilian journal of medical and biological research = Revista brasileira de pesquisas medicas e biologicas, 2015
Staphylococcus aureus is highly prevalent among patients with atopic dermatitis (AD), and this pathogen may trigger and aggravate AD lesions. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of S. aureus in the nares of pediatric subjects and verify

Increase in imported mupirocin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus from the tropics and subtropics: trends in Berlin from 2018 to 2025

New Microbes and New Infections
Background: Mupirocin resistance in Staphylococcus (S.) aureus (Mup-RSA) is emerging and may lead to S. aureus decolonisation failure. Our aim was to assess temporal trends in mupirocin-resistant S. aureus (Mup-RSA) and methicillin-resistant S.
