Non-fermentative gram-negative bloodstream infection in northern Italy: a multicenter cohort study.

Background: The management of non-fermentative gram-negative bloodstream infection (NFGN-BSI) offers numerous challenges. In this study the aim is to analyse a large cohort of patients with NFGN-BSI recruited in the northern Italy to describe epidemiology, etiological and susceptibility pattern, therapeutic management and outcome.

Methods: Multicentre retrospective cohort study of patients hospitalised at three large teaching hospitals in northern Italy in a fourth year period.

Quality of care indicators in the MAnageMent of BlOOdstream infections caused by Enterobacteriaceae (MAMBOO-E study): state of the art and research agenda.

Objectives: The impact on outcome of five interventions was reviewed in order to investigate the state of the art for management of Enterobacteriaceae bloodstream infection (E-BSI).

Methods: We searched for randomised controlled trials (RCTs) and observational studies published from January 2008 to March 2019 in PubMed, EMBASE and Cochrane Library. Populations consisted of patients with E-BSI.

Pulsatile Flow-Induced Fatigue-Resistant Photopolymerizable Hydrogels for the Treatment of Intracranial Aneurysms.

An alternative intracranial aneurysm embolic agent is emerging in the form of hydrogels due to their ability to be injected in liquid phase and solidify . Hydrogels have the ability to fill an aneurysm sac more completely compared to solid implants such as those used in coil embolization. Recently, the feasibility to implement photopolymerizable poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) hydrogels has been demonstrated for aneurysm application.
