Some Rec 1 Nt Work on Acute Infectious Diseases

چکیده
THE subject which I have chosen for this afternoon, "Some recent work on acute infectious diseases," naturally covers a very wide field, and in the time at my disposal I shall be able to discuss only a few aspects of the question, and these mainly from the clinical standpoint. I propose therefore to deal with the following diseases which I have ranged in alphabetical order, not in the order of their importance, viz., chicken-pox, diphtheria, measles, scarlet fever and vaccinia.

Effect of Intensive Training on Mood With No Effect on Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor.
CONTEXT Monitoring mood state is a useful tool for avoiding nonfunctional overreaching. Brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) is implicated in stress-related mood disorders. PURPOSE To investigate the impact of intensified training-induced mood disturbance on plasma BDNF concentrations at rest and in response to exercise. METHODS Eight cyclists performed 1 wk of normal (NT), 1 wk of inte...
متن کاملMicrobiology of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid in children with acute nonresponding or recurrent community-acquired pneumonia: identification of nontypeable Haemophilus influenzae as a major pathogen.
BACKGROUND Precise etiologic diagnosis in pediatric community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) remains challenging. METHODS We conducted a retrospective study of CAP etiology in 2 groups of pediatric patients who underwent flexible bronchoscopy (FOB) with bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL); children with acute nonresponsive CAP (NR-CAP; n = 127) or recurrent CAP (Rec-CAP; n = 123). Procedural measures were...
متن کاملEpiglottitis in Pre and Post Haemophilus Influenza Type-b Vaccine Era: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis
Background and purpose: Epiglottitis is an uncommon life threatening pediatric disease. Evidence suggests some changes in etiology and incidence of this disease after vaccination against H-influenza type b. This Meta-analysis and systematic review aimed at investigating the etiology and incidence of acute epiglottitis in pre and post H-influenza vaccination era. Materials and methods: A system...
متن کاملNovel mutations associated with resistance to Bacillus sphaericus in a polymorphic region of the Culex quinquefasciatus cqm1 gene.
Bin toxin from Bacillus sphaericus acts on Culex quinquefasciatus larvae by binding to Cqm1 midgut-bound receptors, and disruption of the cqm1 gene is the major cause of resistance. The goal of this work was to screen for a laboratory-selected resistance cqm1(REC) allele in field populations in the city of Recife, Brazil, and to describe other resistance-associated polymorphisms in the cqm1 gen...
متن کاملThe Prognostic Value of Serum Levels of Heart-Type Fatty Acid Binding Protein and High Sensitivity C-Reactive Protein in Patients With Increased Levels of Amino-Terminal Pro-B Type Natriuretic Peptide
BACKGROUND Amino-terminal pro-B type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a well-established prognostic factor in heart failure (HF). However, numerous causes may lead to elevations in NT-proBNP, and thus, an increased NT-proBNP level alone is not sufficient to predict outcome. The aim of this study was to evaluate the utility of two acute response markers, high sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs...
