Background
The assessment of clinical history is crucial before referring a patient for further laboratory testing. Bleeding assessment tools (BAT) are developed to standardize clinical evaluation. A small number of patients with congenital fibrinogen deficiencies (CFDs) have been evaluated with these tools without definitive results.Aims
We compared the adequacy of the ISTH-BAT and the European network of rare bleeding disorders bleeding score system (EN-RBD-BSS) to identify patients with CFDs. The correlation between the two BATs and fibrinogen levels and patient clinical grade severity was further analyzed.Methods
We included 100 Iranian patients with CFDs. Routine coagulation and fibrinogen-specific tests (fibrinogen antigen [Fg:Ag] and activity [Fg:C]) were performed. The ISTH-BAT and EN-RBD-BSS were used to assess the bleeding score (BS) of all patients.Results
The ISTH-BAT and EN-RBD-BSS median (range) were 4 (0–16) and 2.21 (−1.49 to 6.71), with a statistically significant moderate correlation between the two systems (r = .597, P < .001). In patients with quantitative deficiencies (afibrinogenemia and hypofibrinogenemia), the correlation between Fg:C and the ISTH-BAT was moderately negative (r = −.4, P < .001), while the correlation between Fg:C and the EN-RBD-BSS was weakly negative (r = −.38, P < .001). Overall, 70% and 72% of patients with fibrinogen deficiencies were correctly identified by both the ISTH-BAT and EN-RBD-BSS, respectively.Conclusion
These results suggest that in addition to the ISTH-BAT, the EN-RBD-BSS may also be useful in identifying CFD patients. We found a significant level of sensitivity for detecting fibrinogen deficiency in the two BATs, and bleeding severity classification correctly identified severity grades in almost two-thirds of patients. 相似文献3.
Background
Some studies of nosocomial bloodstream infection (nBSI) have demonstrated a higher mortality for polymicrobial bacteremia when compared to monomicrobial nBSI. The purpose of this study was to compare differences in systemic inflammatory response and mortality between monomicrobial and polymicrobial nBSI with Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 相似文献4.

Introduction
Pseudomonas aeruginosa respiratory infections are challenging, and the risk of recurrence is a frequent problem. The aim of this study was to investigate the risk factors associated with the presence of P. aeruginosa, and the risk factors related to the recurrence and death of lower airway infections in inpatients in a Brazilian hospital.Methods
Retrospective cohort with inpatients that had a sample of airways culture (tracheal aspirate or bronchoalveolar lavage) with the detection of P. aeruginosa. The patients with clinical criteria of infection were classified as ventilator-associated, hospital-acquired, or community-acquired pneumonia. P. aeruginosa in respiratory samples without symptoms was considered colonization. The antimicrobial treatment adequacy and the clinical data were evaluated. Outcome variables included mortality and recurrence.Results
One hundred and fifty-four patients were included in the study, most of them were men, and the majority (102) were considered infected. The average length of stay was superior to 30 days. Previous pulmonary disease was associated with the occurrence of colonization. Aminoglycosides were the most active drug according to susceptibility tests and were successfully used as monotherapy. Septic shock was a risk factor for death in the infected patients. The use of adequate antimicrobial therapy was associated with major survival, independent of the infection classification.Conclusion
It is possible to evaluate clinical data associated with recurrence and mortality in patients with different lung infections by P. aeruginosa. Aminoglycoside monotherapy is safe and effective in P. aeruginosa respiratory infections. 相似文献6.

Background
Several acute illness severity scores have been proposed for evaluating patients on admission to intensive care units but these have not been compared for patients with nosocomial bloodstream infection (nBSI). We compared three severity of illness scoring systems for predicting mortality in patients with nBSI due to Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 相似文献10.
Background
Home care has become popular in the management of hemato-oncologic patients. Therefore, we conducted a prospective study to assess whether tap water from the domestic environment of neutropenic patients poses a risk for infections from the waterborne pathogens nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM), Legionella spp., and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. 相似文献11.

Purpose:
We hypothesized that a single intravenous (iv) tobramycine infusion (treatment B) would have equivalent anti-infectious efficacy in chronic Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) infection in cystic fibrosis (CF) as the commonly performed treatment of three doses (treatment A) . Toxicity and practicability may even be improved in the single-dose regimen. 相似文献12.

Purpose
Thrombotic events may occur in celiac disease. In this study, we analyzed clinical features and risk factors for thrombosis in seven patients who had celiac disease and thrombosis.Methods
We retrospectively studied 87 patients with adult celiac disease and identified seven cases of thrombosis. We searched if risk factors for thrombosis were identified and tested retrospectively antiphospholipid antibodies on the serum.Results
In our study, the global prevalence of thrombosis was 8 %, and 5.7 % for spontaneous thrombosis, with venous thrombosis (n = 5) or arterial thrombosis (n = 1) or both (n = 2). The seven patients consisted in six women and one man with a mean age of 44.8 years at time of thrombosis. Thrombotic events occurred before the diagnosis of celiac disease in four cases. In three cases, venous thrombosis was in unusual sites: portal (n = 2), splenic vein thrombosis (n = 1). In six cases, we identified risk factors for thrombosis, which could be linked to celiac disease: hyperhomocysteinemia (n = 1), protein C and S deficiency due to vitamin K deficiency (n = 3) and antiphospholipid antibodies (n = 2).Conclusion
Such risk factors for thrombosis should be identified in patients in adult celiac disease in order to correct them and add a thromboembolic prophylaxis. 相似文献15.

Introduction
Transseptal puncture (TSP) is routinely performed for left atrial ablation procedures. The use of a three-dimensional (3D) mapping system or intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) is useful in localizing the fossa ovalis and reducing fluoroscopy use. We aimed to compare the safety and efficacy between 3D mapping system-guided TSP and ICE-guided TSP techniques.Methods
We conducted a prospective observational study of patients undergoing TSP for left atrial catheter ablation procedures (mostly atrial fibrillation ablation). Propensity scoring was used to match patients undergoing 3D-guided TSP with patients undergoing ICE-guided TSP. Logistic regression was used to compare the clinical data, procedural data, fluoroscopy time, success rate, and complications between the groups.Results
Sixty-five patients underwent 3D-guided TSP, and 151 propensity score-matched patients underwent ICE-guided TSP. The TSP success rate was 100% in both the 3D-guided and ICE-guided groups. Median needle time was 4.00 min (interquartile range [IQR]: 2.57–5.08) in patients with 3D-guided TSP compared to 4.02 min (IQR: 2.83–6.95) in those with ICE-guided TSP (p = .22). Mean fluoroscopy time was 0.2 min (IQR: 0.1–0.4) in patients with 3D-guided TSP compared to 1.2 min (IQR: 0.7–2.2) in those with ICE-guided TSP (p < .001). There were no complications related to TSP in both group.Conclusions
Three-dimensional mapping-guided TSP is as safe and effective as ICE-guided TSP without additional cost. 相似文献16.

Background
There are limited choice of antimicrobial agents to treat infection with metallo-β-lactamase-producing Pseudomonas aeruginosa. We evaluate the antimicrobial effects of aztreonam alone, colistin alone and the 3-drug combination of aztreonam, ceftazidime and amikacin on 23 strains of metallo-β-lactamase-producing P. aeruginosa by time-killing tests. 相似文献17.

Background
The intravenous use of polymyxins has been considered to be associated with considerable nephrotoxicity and neurotoxicity. For this reason, the systemic administration of polymyxins had been abandoned for about 20 years in most areas of the world. However, the problem of infections due to multidrug-resistant (MDR) Gram-negative bacteria such us Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Acinetobacter baumanniii has led to the re-use of polymyxins. Our objective was to study the toxicity of prolonged intravenous administration of colistin (polymyxin E). 相似文献18.

Objective
The radiofrequency (RF) needle has been shown to improve transseptal puncture efficiency and safety compared to mechanical needles. This study aimed to investigate the use of VersaCross RF transseptal wire system (Baylis Medical) to improve procedural efficiency of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) compared to the standard RF needle-based workflow.Methods
Eighty-one LAAC procedures using WATCHMAN FLX were retrospectively analyzed comparing the standard RF needle-based workflow to a RF wire-based workflow. Study primary endpoint was time to WATCHMAN device release, and secondary endpoints were transseptal puncture time, LAAC success, fluoroscopy use, and procedural complications.Results
Twenty-five cases using standard RF needle-based workflow were compared to 56 cases using the RF wire-based workflow. Baseline patient characteristics were similar between both groups. LAAC was successful in all patients with no differences in intraprocedural complication rates (p = 0.40). Transseptal puncture time was 1.3 min faster using the RF wire-based workflow compared to the standard RF needle-based workflow (6.5 ± 2.3 vs. 7.8 ± 2.3 min, p = 0.02). Overall, time to final WATCHMAN device release was 4.5 min faster with the RF wire-based workflow compared to the RF needle-based workflow (24.6 ± 5.6 vs. 29.1 ± 9.6 min, p = 0.01). Fluoroscopy time was 21% lower using the RF wire-based workflow (7.6 ± 2.8 vs. 9.6 ± 4.4 min; p = 0.05) and fluoroscopy dose was 67% lower (47.1 ± 35.3 vs. 144.9 ± 156.9 mGy, p = 0.04) and more consistent (F-test, p ˂ 0.0001).Conclusions
The RF wire-based workflow streamlines LAAC procedures, improving LAAC efficiency and safety by reducing fluoroscopy, device exchanges, and delivery sheath manipulation. 相似文献19.

Objective
A biased attentional processing of food stimuli may represent a disorder maintenance factor in patients with anorexia nervosa (AN). The present study aimed at investigating the temporal course of attentional deployment towards both high-calorie and low-calorie foods in patients with AN using eye-tracking.Method
Fifty-two patients with restrictive AN and 54 healthy controls (HC) performed a dot-probe task while their gaze was recorded with an eye-tracking system. The direction bias (percentage of trials in which the gaze was directed towards the food at first fixation, 500, and 1500 ms), and the duration bias (percentage of time spent looking at the food) were extracted.Results
Regarding the direction bias, a group by time interaction emerged (F = 3.29, p = 0.038): while in the control group the bias continued to increase over the course of the trial, patients with AN showed a reduction of the bias between the 500 and 1500 ms. No group differences were observed on the duration bias.Conclusions
In advanced stages of attentional deployment patients with AN start to differ from HC by diverting their attention away from food stimuli, a strategic process that may contribute to food avoidance and calorie restriction. 相似文献20.
