Bacteriological Profile of Endotracheal Aspirates and their Antibiotic Susceptibility Pattern

Journal of Pure and Applied Microbiology, 2018
Early onset Ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP) is usually less severe, associated with a better prognosis, and is more likely caused by antibiotic- sensitive bacteria.

Vitamin D status and ventilator-associated pneumonia in critically ill patients: A case-control study in northern Iran

Journal of Current Biomedical Reports
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is a major contributor to illness and death among patients in intensive care units (ICUs). While vitamin D deficiency is known to compromise immune defenses and elevate the risk of infections, its specific ...

Value of implementing a care bundle approach to improve outcome of pediatric ventilator − associated events (PedVAE) in pediatric intensive care unit (PICU)

International Journal of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine
Background Pediatric ventilator-associated events (PedVAEs) refer to a persistent deterioration in oxygenation following a period of stability, and these are valuable for monitoring and detecting issues arising from mechanical ventilation in children ...

A Numerical–Experimental Approach for Multi‐Matrix Fiber‐Reinforced Plastics Characterization Using Finite Element Model Updating

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
A numerical–experimental framework is developed for characterizing multi‐matrix fiber‐reinforced polymers (MM‐FRPs) combining epoxy and polyurethane matrices. Harmonic bending tests are integrated with finite element model updating (FEMU) to simultaneously identify elastic and viscoelastic material parameters.

Counterion Dependent Side‐Chain Relaxation Stiffens a Chemically Doped Thienothiophene Copolymer

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oxidation of a thienothiophene copolymer, p(g3TT‐T2), via different doping strategies and dopant molecules resulted in materials with similar oxidation levels and a high electrical conductivity of ≈100 S cm−1. However, mechanical properties varied significantly, with sub‐glass transition temperatures and elastic moduli spanning from –44°C to –3°C and ...

Relationship between digestive tract colonization and subsequent ventilator-associated pneumonia related to ESBL-producing Enterobacteriaceae. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
BACKGROUND:Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) is the most common ICU-acquired infection. Recently, the incidence of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase producing Enterobacteriaceae (ESBLE) has substantially increased in critically ill patients ...

Understanding Operando Water Management in Hydroxide‐Exchange‐Membrane Fuel Cells

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.
Effective water management is vital for high‐performance hydroxide‐exchange‐membrane fuel cells. Using a custom water‐flux station, this study quantifies how membrane thickness, microporous layers, and operating conditions dictate internal water transport.
