The global population stru cture of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus and its application to an investigation of a rare case of infective endocarditis.

Background: Lacticaseibacillus (formerly Lactobacillus) rhamnosus is widely used in probiotics or food supplements to promote microbiome health and may also be part of the normal microbiota of the human gastrointestinal tract. However, it rarely also causes invasive or severe infections in patients. It has been postulated that these infections may originate from probiotics or from endogenous commensal reservoirs.

An Intensive Intervention to Reduce Readmissions for Frequently Hospitalized Patients: the CHAMP Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: A small number of patients are disproportionally readmitted to hospitals. The Complex High Admission Management Program (CHAMP) was established as a multidisciplinary program to improve continuity of care and reduce readmissions for frequently hospitalized patients.

Objective: To compare hospital utilization metrics among patients enrolled in CHAMP and usual care.

Fatal endocarditis in a patient with transcatheter aortic valve replacement.

species may translocate from the gastrointestinal tract into systemic circulation from ingested probiotics or commensal flora. Their pathogenic potential is still debated. endocarditis is a rare entity with only around 120 cases reported in the literature.

The Comprehensive Care Plan: A Patient-Centered, Multidisciplinary Communication Tool for Frequently Hospitalized Patients.

Comprehensive care plans are dynamic documents maintained by an interdisciplinary team that contain specific, actionable information for clinicians and staff across multiple care settings. They promote communication and continuity of care by suggesting communication strategies, medical plans, and psychosocial resources. This article describes the structure and development process of comprehensive care plans for frequently hospitalized patients enrolled in a program designed to improve care for this vulnerable population.
