Predicting the primary infection source of Escherichia coli bacteremia using virulence-associated genes.

Purpose: To investigate the role of E. coli virulence-associated genes (VAGs) in predicting urinary tract infection (UTI) as the source of bacteremia in two distinct hospital populations, one with a large general catchment area and one dominated by referrals.

Methods: E.

GG Versus Placebo for Eradication of Vancomycin-Resistant in Intestinal Carriers: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

The aim of this review was to assess the efficacy and safety of GG (LGG) (previously known as GG) for the eradication of vancomycin-resistant (VREfm) in colonized carriers. We searched Cochrane Central, EMBASE, and the PubMed Library from inception to 21 August 2023, for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) investigating the effectiveness of LGG for the eradication of gastrointestinal carriage of VREfm. An initial screening was performed followed by a full-text evaluation of the papers.

Preoperative Positioning and Progression of Fovea-on Retinal Detachments.

Purpose: To study the relationship between positioning and rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD) progression before surgery in patients with a fovea-on RRD.

Design: Prospective, single-cohort study.

Subjects: Patients with fovea-on RRD admitted to hospital for bedrest before surgical treatment were recruited.

[Possible vertical transmission, prematuredelivery, neonatal morbidity and death in pregnant women with COVID-19].

COVID-19 increases the risk of preterm delivery in Nordic women requiring intensive care but has not been linked to foetal death. We present two cases of mild COVID-19 in pregnant women admitted due to reduced foetal movements. The babies were delivered preterm due to abnormal cardiotocography values.
