A simplified approach to managing a complex infected left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.

Background: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) is a rare but life-threatening condition resulting from acute myocardial infarction, trauma, bacterial infection, or previous cardiac operations. Diagnosis can be challenging as LVPs remain asymptomatic or present with nonspecific clinical symptoms. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent rupture and recurrent septicemia.

Oral bacteriophages: metagenomic clues to interpret microbiomes.

Bacteriophages are bacterial viruses that are distributed throughout the environment. Lytic phages and prophages in saliva, oral mucosa, and dental plaque interact with the oral microbiota and can change biofilm formation. The interactions between phages and bacteria can be considered a portion of oral metagenomics.

Comparison of six percent hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 and ringer's lactate as priming solutions in patients undergoing isolated open heart valve surgery: A double-blind randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: Colloids are added to the priming solution of the cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) pump to maintain colloid osmotic pressure and prevent fluid overload. This study aimed to compare the effects of 6% hydroxyethyl starch (HES) 130/0.4 and ringer's lactate (RL) priming solution on patients' outcomes undergoing isolated heart valve surgery with CPB.

Clinical efficacy of probiotics in prevention of infectious diseases among hospitalized patients in ICU and non-ICU wards in clinical randomized trials: A systematic review.

Background And Aims: The present study aimed to review probiotics' clinical efficacy in preventing infectious diseases among hospitalized patients in ICU and non-ICU wards.

Methods: A search of Medline, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, Science Direct, Open Grey, and Google Scholar was conducted for eligible publications from 2002 to 2020 following the requirements outlined in the PRISMA guideline. The search strategy was based on the combination of the following terms: "probiotics," "prebiotics," "synbiotics," and "cross-infection.

Global prevalence and antibiotic resistance in clinical isolates of : a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Introduction: is a little-known environmental opportunistic bacterium that can cause broad-spectrum infections. Despite the importance of this bacterium as an emerging drug-resistant opportunistic pathogen, a comprehensive analysis of its prevalence and resistance to antibiotics has not yet been conducted.

Methods: A systematic search was performed using four electronic databases (MEDLINE via PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Web of Science) up to October 2019.

Factors associated with treatment failure, and possible applications of probiotic bacteria in the arsenal against .

Introduction: is a widespread helical Gram-negative bacterium, which causes a variety of stomach disorders, such as peptic ulcer, chronic atrophic gastritis, and gastric cancer. This microbe frequently colonizes the mucosal layer of the human stomach and survives in the inhospitable microenvironment, by adapting to this hostile milieu.

Areas Covered: In this extensive review, we describe conventional antibiotic treatment regimens used against including, empirical, tailored, and salvage therapies.

Dormancy: Waiting for Insurgency.

Relapse infection usually results from resistance to the antibiotic, acquired genes, or persister cells. Persister cells are formed through mutation, reduced activity or metabolically inactive pathways induced by antibiotics, harassing conditions, low ATP, and malnutrition. These factors provide the ground for bacteria to grow slowly.

Prediction of the proximate analysis parameters of refuse-derived fuel based on deep learning approach.

Determination of proximate characteristics can be achieved using conventional analyses methods that require a certain amount of time. In cement factories, refuse-derived fuel (RDF) is continuously fed to a kiln by a conveyor belt, so even if an inappropriate proximate characteristic is determined, it would be too late to prevent the feeding of RDF to the kiln. To overcome this problem, there is a need for instant measurement of the proximate characteristics (moisture, volatile matter, ash) that enables the feeding to be stopped.

Aortic remodeling, distal stent-graft induced new entry and endoleak following frozen elephant trunk: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: The introduction of the frozen elephant trunk (FET) technique for total arch replacement (TAR) has revolutionized the field of aortovascular surgery. However, although FET yields excellent results, the risk of certain complications requiring secondary intervention remains present, negating its one-step hybrid advantage over conventional techniques. This systematic review and meta-analysis sought to evaluate controversies regarding the incidence of FET-related complications, with a focus on aortic remodeling, distal stent-graft induced new entry (dSINE) and endoleak, in patients with type A aortic dissection (TAAD) and/or thoracic aortic aneurysm.

The state of the art in beyond 5G distributed massive multiple-input multiple-output communication system solutions.

Beyond fifth generation (5G) communication systems aim towards data rates in the tera bits per second range, with improved and flexible coverage options, introducing many new technological challenges in the fields of network architecture, signal pro- cessing, and radio frequency front-ends. One option is to move towards cell-free, or distributed massive Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) network architectures and highly integrated front-end solutions. This paper presents an outlook on be- yond 5G distributed massive MIMO communication systems, the signal processing, characterisation and simulation challenges, and an overview of the state of the art in millimetre wave antennas and electronics.

Pediatric tuberculosis in Iran: a review of 10-years study in an Iranian referral hospital.

Introduction: Reductions in global tuberculosis incidence are considered as one of the End TB Strategy goal. The diagnosis of tuberculosis (TB) in children is challenging due to insufficient specimen material and the scarcity of bacilli in specimens. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence, characteristics, clinical profiles, laboratory findings and treatment outcomes of children infected with TB in an Iranian referral hospital during a 10-years period.
