Experimental ventilator-associated pneumonia: distribution of lung infection and consequences for lung aeration

Brazilian Journal of Infectious Diseases
Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) has been described in humans and in experimental animals. The most severe lesions are located in dependent lung segments along a sterno-vertebral axis, however the cephalocaudal distribution of lung infection remains

Systematic evaluation and Meta-analysis of the efficacy and safety of different doses of tigecycline in ventilator-associated pneumonia caused by multiple resistant bacteria

, 2023
Introduction Ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) caused by multi-resistant bacteria is a serious complication in hospitalized patients. Tigecycline, a broad-spectrum antibiotic, has been suggested as a potential treatment option for this condition, but

Pyrazole‐Derived Antibacterial Compounds Effectively Treat Methicillin‐Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus Infections by Inhibiting Aspartate Transcarbamoylase

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study unveils a novel antibacterial mechanism against MRSA, in which the compound Py‐27 selectively targets and inhibits aspartate transcarbamoylase (ATCase), a key enzyme in pyrimidine synthesis. This inhibition disrupts DNA replication, induces oxidative damage, leading to potent bactericidal activity.

A Biofabricated Human Acinus‐on‐a‐Chip Unveils Mechanotransductive Drivers of Ventilator‐Induced Lung Injury via Decoupling Volutrauma and Barotrauma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This bioinspired acinus‐on‐a‐chip recapitulates VILI pathology, revealing that volutrauma drives P53/NF‐κB pathways while barotrauma triggers mitochondrial‐Wnt dysregulation. A fibrotic transitional cell cluster was identified. Pharmacological interventions targeting these pathways significantly ameliorated injury, establishing a mechanobiological ...

Prediction of Long‐Term Prognosis in Patients With Hepatocellular Carcinoma Using the National Clinical Database Risk Calculator

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study aimed to determine the value of the National Clinical Database (NCD) risk calculator in predicting surgical outcomes and long‐term prognosis in patients undergoing resection for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We retrospectively analyzed data from 210 patients with HCC who underwent initial hepatic resection, assessing the relationship ...

Preoperative FIB‐4 Index as a Potential Factor Associated With Severe Postoperative Complications and Endogenous Organ Failure After Hepatectomy for Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This study demonstrates that a preoperative FIB‐4 index ≥ 5.0 independently predicts severe complications and endogenous organ failure (EOF) following hepatectomy for hepatocellular carcinoma. By capturing structural liver fragility and systemic vulnerability, the FIB‐4 index enhances surgical risk stratification beyond traditional functional markers ...

Preventing ventilator associated pneumonia [PDF]

, 2019
Ventilator associated pneumonia is among the highest nosocomial infections in ICU patients. Ventilator associated pneumonia is related to longer length of hospital stays, higher mortality rates, and higher costs.

Minimally Invasive Versus Open Total and Distal Gastrectomy After Chemotherapy for Gastric Cancer: A Nationwide Observational Study

Annals of Gastroenterological Surgery, EarlyView.
This nationwide observational study used data from the National Clinical Database. Patients who underwent total or distal gastrectomy for gastric cancer after chemotherapy between January 2014 and December 2022 were included. Minimally invasive surgery was associated with lower incidences of overall postoperative complications of Clavien–Dindo grade ...

Immune Modulatory Therapy for Severe Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever in a Patient With Mitochondrial Complex I Deficiency: A Case Report

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Dengue virus (DENV) poses a serious global health challenge, particularly in cases of dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF). Patients with preexisting mitochondrial disorders may be at increased risk for complications due to the specific impact of DENV on mitochondrial‐dependent cellular processes and immune function.
