  1. Bioprosthetic mesh use for the problematic thoracoabdominal wall: outcomes in relation to contamination and infection.
    Jean-Francois JF Ouellet, Chad G CG Ball, ... Andrew W AW Kirkpatrick

    Am J Surg 203(5):594-7 (2012) PMID 22444712

    Limited controlled data exist regarding the role of bioprosthetic meshes for hernia repair. Often the only option available in contaminated cases, their high cost calls for an evaluation of their utility and indications for use. A retrospective review of cases in whic...
  2. Endoscopic transgastric vs surgical necrosectomy for infected necrotizing pancreatitis: a randomized trial.
    Olaf J OJ Bakker, Hjalmar C HC van Santvoort, ...

    JAMA 307(10):1053-61 (2012) PMID 22416101

    We randomized 22 patients, 2 of whom did not undergo necrosectomy following percutaneous catheter drainage and could not be analyzed for the primary end point. Endoscopic transgastric necrosectomy reduced the postprocedural IL-6 levels compared with surgical necrosectomy (P = .004). The composite cl...
  3. Initial trophic vs full enteral feeding in patients with acute lung injury: the EDEN randomized trial.
    , Todd W TW Rice, ... Peter P Rock

    JAMA 307(8):795-803 (2012) PMID 22307571

    The amount of enteral nutrition patients with acute lung injury need is unknown. To determine if initial lower-volume trophic enteral feeding would increase ventilator-free days and decrease gastrointestinal intolerances compared with initial full enteral feeding....
  4. Comparative levels of macrophage migration inhibitory factor, procalcitonin, osteoprotegerin, interleukin-8, hs-C reactive protein, d-dimer ...
    Oktay O Bilgir, Ferda F Bilgir, ... Tolgay T Isikyakar

    Transfus Apher Sci 46(1):6 (2012) PMID 22079264

    The purpose of this study is to determine the levels of procalcitonin (PCT), IL-8 (interleukin-8), MIF (macrophage migration inhibitory factor), osteoprotegerin (OPG), hs-CRP and D-dimer during fever above 38.3°C due to various causes. Blood samples taken from a tota...
  5. Pattern recognition receptors: sentinels in innate immunity and targets of new vaccine adjuvants.
    Colleen C Olive

    Expert Rev Vaccines 11(2):237-56 (2012) PMID 22309671

    The innate immune system plays an essential role in the host's first line of defense against microbial invasion, and involves the recognition of distinct pathogen-associated molecular patterns by pattern recognition receptors (PRRs). Activation of PRRs triggers cell signaling leading...
  6. Field observations of fish species susceptible to epizootic ulcerative syndrome in the Zambezi River basin in Sesheke District of Zambia.
    Mwansa M MM Songe, Mudenda B MB Hang'ombe, ... Rohana P RP Subasinghe

    Trop Anim Health Prod 44(1):179-83 (2012) PMID 21647772

    These results could be useful to fish farmers and organizations interested in improving aquaculture in the area....
  7. [The resistance trap (interview by Hardy-Thorsten Panknin)].
    Thomas T Böhm

    Kinderkrankenschwester 31(1):26-7 (2012) PMID 22312763

  8. Low-molecular-weight heparin and mortality in acutely ill medical patients.
    Ajay K Kakkar, Claudio Cimminiello, ... LIFENOX Investigators

    N Engl J Med 365(26):2463-72 (2011) PMID 22204723

    We conducted a double-blind, placebo-controlled, randomized trial to assess the effect of subcutaneous enoxaparin (40 mg daily) as compared with placebo--both administered for 10±4 days in patients who were wearing elastic stockings with graduated compression--on the rate of death from any cause am...

  10. The SIS and SIR stochastic epidemic models: a maximum entropy approach.
    J R JR Artalejo and M J MJ Lopez-Herrero

    Theor Popul Biol 80(4):256-64 (2011) PMID 22019889

    We analyze the dynamics of infectious disease spread by formulating the maximum entropy (ME) solutions of the susceptible-infected-susceptible (SIS) and the susceptible-infected-removed (SIR) stochastic models. Several scenarios providing helpful insight into the use of the ME formalism for epidemic...
