[Actinotignum schaalii: Report of two cases of bacteremia in Argentina].

Actinotignum schaalii is an emerging pathogen in elderly patients with urinary tract pathologies. Two cases of A. schaalii bacteremia are described.

Community-acquired bacteremia in adult patients. analysis of 645 episodes.

Bacteremia is an important cause of morbimortality. This study describes the episodes of communityacquired bacteremia in adult patients registered at our hospital. Between January 2005 and December 2013, 645 episodes were studied.

[Analysis of 117 episodes of enterococcal bacteremia: Study of epidemiology, microbiology and antimicrobial susceptibility].

Enterococcal bacteremia has acquired considerable importance in recent years, mainly due to an increased number of cases that occur during hospital admission. We describe the episodes of enterococcal bacteremia in adult patients recorded at our hospital. Between January 2000 and December 2013, 117 episodes were analyzed.

Facial aesthetic outcome analysis in unilateral cleft lip and palate surgery using web-based extended panel assessment.

Background And Aim: The reproducible measurement of aesthetic outcomes after cleft lip and palate (CLP) surgery remains elusive, and there is no internationally recognised system. The aim of this pilot study was to better understand how humans rate post-operative aesthetic outcome after unilateral cleft lip and palate (UCLP) repair using a novel web-based rating platform with an extended panel of surgeon raters.

Methods: Cropped images of 5-year-old UCLP patients were arranged in a randomly generated sequence within a web-based aesthetic scoring tool as part of an agreement/reliability study.

Facial Aesthetic Outcomes of Cleft Surgery: Assessment of Discrete Lip and Nose Images Compared with Digital Symmetry Analysis.

Background: High-quality aesthetic outcomes are of paramount importance to children growing up after cleft lip and palate surgery. Establishing a validated and reliable assessment tool for cleft professionals and families will facilitate cleft units, surgeons, techniques, and protocols to be audited and compared with greater confidence. This study used exemplar images across a five-point aesthetic scale, identified in a pilot project, to score lips and noses as separate units and compared these human scores with computer-based SymNose symmetry scores.
