The concomitant occurrence of urinary tract infection (UTI) and coeliac disease was studied retrospectively among children with coeliac disease. There was a significantly higher risk of first time UTI in children with coeliac disease than in an unselected population of children. In the majority of cases UTI was associated with untreated, active coeliac disease.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial infection identified in young, febrile children. UTI may be limited to the bladder (cystitis) or can also involve the renal parenchyma (pyelonephritis). The clinical presentation of UTI may be non-specific and varies depending on factors such as the age of the child and the severity of infection. Accurate diagnosis based on clinical presentati...

PURPOSE To determine if urinary symptoms or urinary tract infections (UTI) were associated with sexually transmitted infections (STI) and which history, clinical, and laboratory findings could distinguish these infections in symptomatic women. METHODS A cross-sectional sample of 296 sexually active females aged 14-22 years attending a hospital-based teen health center or emergency department ...

OBJECTIVE This study aims to investigate the in vitro effects of Ulinastatin (UTI) and Taxotere (TXT) on cell proliferation; cell apoptosis; xenografted tumor growth; and expression of insulin-like growth factor receptor 1 (IGF-1R), platelet-derived growth factor A (PDGFA), nerve growth factor (NGF), c-Jun N-terminal kinase 2 (JNk-2), and NF-κB in a human primary breast cancer cells and breast ...

Background: Neonatal jaundice is clinically presented in 60% of full-term newborns. About 8% of newborns with jaundice have urinary tract infection (UTI) without any other clinical signs in favor of UTI. In present study we evaluated clinical and paraclinical data that help to rapid and early diagnosis of UTI in apparently healthy newborns with jaundice. Methods: From February to August 2006, 5...

OBJECTIVE To produce an accurate estimate of the association between catheter-associated urinary tract infection (UTI) and intensive care unit (ICU) and hospital mortality, controlling for major confounding factors. DESIGN Nested case-control study in a multicenter cohort (the OutcomeRea database). SETTING Twelve French medical or surgical ICUs. METHODS All patients admitted between Janua...

BACKGROUND Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) remains one of the major hospital acquired infections in the nation, often attributable to increased antibiotic use. Little research, however, exists on the prevalence and impact of CDI on patient and hospital outcomes among populations requiring such treatment. As such, the goal of this study was to examine the prevalence, risk factors, and impa...
