Article Synopsis
- * Research shows that unliganded ERα inhibits endothelial cell migration and proliferation while promoting smooth muscle cell growth and inflammation in blood vessels.
- * When activated by estrogen (E2), ERα reverses these harmful effects, indicating that estrogen's cardiovascular benefits may stem from its ability to mitigate the negative impacts of unliganded ERα on vascular health.
Introduction: Pre-emptive isolation of suspected methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) carriers is a cornerstone of successful MRSA control policies. Implementation of such strategies is hampered when using conventional cultures with diagnostic delays of three to five days, as many non-carriers remain unnecessarily isolated. Rapid diagnostic testing (RDT) reduces the amount of unnecessary isolation days, but costs and benefits have not been accurately determined in intensive care units (ICUs).
